Practicioner Exam Preparation
UKAS/OGC/APMG Accredited Training Company Event – Registration 001

Overview
The Practitioner Examination Preparation event provides an opportunity to apply learning of the PRINCE2 methodology to real-life derived scenarios.  The scenarios are in a similar format to those used in the APM Group Practitioner Exam and will be used to test the thorough understanding of the application of PRINCE2. The Foundation Exam tests knowledge of the method itself and must be passed in order to take the Practitioner Exam.

The focus of this event is primarily to apply previous learning of the method to set problem examples, no new learning is to be expected, although the Event Manager will be on-hand to provide feedback and guidance on structuring written answers.

Designed For
The Examination Preparation Event is designed for anyone who has recently taken and passed the Foundation Exam and wishes to receive advice and guidance in preparation for taking the APM Group Practitioner Examination. The event is not suitable for anyone wishing to learn or substantially revise the PRINCE2 Method. The expectation is that all Delegates attending will already have reached the standard of knowledge required to pass the pre-requisite Foundation Examination.

Anyone who has learned PRINCE2 through Distance Learning will benefit from the preparation day. Distance Learning candidates will be able to sit the Foundation Examination at the beginning of the event and then proceed onto preparation for the Practitioner Examination.

  • Provide Delegates with an opportunity to review their individual preparation for the PRINCE2 Practitioner examination.
