Foundation and Practitioner Course
There are two levels to the qualification:
The Foundation Level is the first qualification that is required to become a PRINCE2® Practitioner. This level is aiming to measure whether a candidate could act as an informed member of a project management team on a Project using the PRINCE2® method, within an environment supporting PRINCE2®. To this end they need to show they understand the principles and terminology of the method.
The Foundation Exam Format is an hour of multiple choice questions (Closed book). 35 out of 70 correct answers are required to pass.
The Practitioner Level Candidates must pass the Foundation exam before proceeding to the Practitioner level. The Practitioner Level aims to measure whether the candidate is able to apply PRINCE2® methods to the running and managing of a Project. They need to show that they are able to finetune PRINCE2® to different project circumstances and understand the relationship between processes, components and techniques.
The Practitioner Exam is a "Scenario based" examination lasting Two and Half hours. This is an open – book format and the minimum pass mark is now 55%.
