Important Information About Your Exams & Certifications

During or following this course, you will sit 2 exams leading to PRINCE2^® Certifications. Here is some key information about preparing to pass these exams, and about the certifications.

Passing Your PRINCE2^® Exams

This PRINCE2^® Foundation and Practitioner course is exam preparation focused, meaning that every element of training is geared towards supporting you in your exam process.

• Our classroom training groups will sit their exams during training. The Foundation exam will take place on the afternoon of Day 3 and Practitioner exam on the afternoon of Day 5.
• Our virtual training groups will schedule and sit their exams outside of training hours.
• We provide you with pre-course familiarisation reading in advance of training. It is very important that you complete this reading before you attend, as it may impact upon your success in the exams.
• Pre-course reading generally takes between 5 and 6 hours. This is only a guideline as the reading time varies from person to person.
• During training, you will need to set aside 2 – 3 hours for study each evening. Again, this is a guideline and you may find that you require a little more or less. To allow for this, we recommend that you keep your evenings during the course as clear of other commitments as possible.
• Although initially this approach may seem daunting, it’s the most effective way to absorb the material and pass your exams.

Your PRINCE2^® Certifications

• Both certifications require renewal every 3 years.
• You can renew your certifications in one of 3 ways – re-sitting the appropriate exam, gathering and logging professional development points on PeopleCert’s MyAxelos platform, or by achieving another PeopleCert certification.
