Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam format?

The PRINCE2 Practitioner exam has 68 scenario-based, objective testing questions to be completed in 150 minutes (2.5 hours). It is an open-book exam — you can reference the official PRINCE2 7 Manual during the test. The passing score is 55% (38 out of 68 marks). Non-native English speakers may receive 25% additional time.

Do I need PRINCE2 Foundation before taking the Practitioner exam?

Yes, PRINCE2 Foundation certification (or an equivalent qualification such as PMP, CAPM, or IPMA Level A-D) is required as a prerequisite for the Practitioner exam. Foundation tests knowledge; Practitioner tests application.

How long is the PRINCE2 Practitioner certification valid?

PRINCE2 Practitioner certification is valid for 3 years. To maintain your certification, you must pass a re-registration exam (30 questions, 1 hour, 55% pass mark) or retake the full Practitioner exam before your certification expires.

What changed in PRINCE2 7?

PRINCE2 7 (released 2024) renamed 'themes' to 'practices,' added sustainability as a seventh performance target, introduced people management as an explicit exam area (9%), expanded guidance on digital and data projects, and updated the process model with modern project management concepts.

Is PRINCE2 Practitioner harder than PMP?

They test different things: PRINCE2 Practitioner is scenario-based and open-book but focuses specifically on applying the PRINCE2 method. PMP covers a broader range of project management knowledge but is closed-book. PRINCE2 Practitioner has a lower passing threshold (55% vs. PMP's scaled scoring) but questions require deep application knowledge. Many professionals hold both.

Can I take the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam online?

Yes, the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam is available via PeopleCert online proctoring from your home or office, as well as at authorized test centers. The online option requires a stable internet connection, webcam, and a quiet testing environment.
