What is a PRINCE2 Practitioner?

A PRINCE2 Practitioner has achieved a certification demonstrating a thorough understanding and ability to apply and tailor the PRINCE2 methodology in a scenario-driven project environment. Here at e-Careers, we offer the PRINCE2® (7th edition) Practitioner course. It is delivered via a virtual classroom and provides an interactive and engaging learning experience. The course spans over two days and includes the actual certification exam.

Is a PRINCE2 Practitioner equivalent to a degree?

No, the PRINCE2 Practitioner certification is not equivalent to a degree. While the PRINCE2 Foundation certification and PRINCE2 Practitioner certification are professional qualifications well known within the field of project management, they are not the same or equivalent to a bachelor's degree. It is a professional certification that signifies expertise in the specific project management methodology.

Is PRINCE2 difficult to pass?

The PRINCE2 exam's difficulty level can be subjective and largely depends on your background in project management, level of understanding of the materials, how much revision you've completed and other contributing factors. However, statistics show a reassuring trend: the UK average PRINCE2 exam pass rate across all training companies is 97% for the foundation exam and 73% for the practitioner exam. This consistency over the years indicates that while the Practitioner exam poses more of a challenge, reflecting its advanced application-based format, it remains highly achievable.
