Introduction

This Practitioner Examination Preparation event provides an opportunity to apply your 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 objective 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.

Delegates will join an open Practitioner training event and take the APM Group Practitioner Examination on the second day. Delegates receive a CD containing preparation material. All other documentation required for the exam is expected to be in the Candidate’s possession.

Audience

The Examination Preparation Event is designed for anyone who has already taken and passed the Foundation Exam and wishes to receive advice and guidance in preparation for taking the APM Group Practitioner Examination.
