PRINCE2® 6th Edition Exams

PRINCE2® 6th edition (previously PRINCE2® 2017) method is owned by AXELOS Limited, a joint venture between Capita PLC and the UK Government (Cabinet Office). PRINCE2® qualifications use a two-tier structure, PRINCE2 Foundation and PRINCE2 Practitioner level certification.

PRINCE2® Foundation Exams

The PRINCE2 Foundation Exam is the first of the two PRINCE2® examinations you will need to pass to become a registered PRINCE2® Practitioner. This exam aims to assess (Competency - Knowledge & Comprehension) whether a candidate would be able to act as an informed member of a project management team in a PRINCE2 project management environment. The candidate would need to show a solid understanding of the PRINCE2 themes, processes, principles, roles and techniques, in particular:-

  • - To identify the purpose and major content of all roles, the components, processes and themes as described in the manual.
  • - Identify the source or derivation of the management products, from their purpose and/or key content.
  • - Indicate the relationships between processes, products, roles and the management dimensions of a project.

The PRINCE2 Foundation examination comprises a one hour paper (60 minutes) consists of 60 questions in total which cover all 15 areas of the PRINCE2 Foundation syllabus. The Foundation exam uses objective test questions which require a candidate to choose a response to a question from a set of choices, only one of which is correct. Marks are not subtracted for incorrect answers. No support materials are allowed as it is a 'closed-book' exam.

The PRINCE2 Exam (foundation) question booklet contains 65 questions - 60 exam questions and 5 trial questions, each covering a different syllabus topic. Each of the 60 questions is worth 1 mark, but the trial questions are not scored. The pass mark is 30 (55%). Delegates are expected to answer all questions. There is however no indication of which questions are exam questions and which are trial.

PRINCE2® Practitioner Exams

The PRINCE2 Practitioner Exam is the higher level of qualification in PRINCE2® Project Management. A prerequisite for sitting this exam is that the delegate must have sat and passed the PRINCE2 Foundation Exam. The Practitioner Exam aims to assess whether the candidate would be able to apply (Competency - Application, Analysis & Evaluation) PRINCE2® to the management of a project within a PRINCE2® environment. Having exhibited the competence required to satisfy the Foundation qualification, the delegate has to show they have the ability to apply and tailor PRINCE2® to address the needs and problems of a specific project scenario.

This is a 2 and half hour (150 minutes) objective test format examination. It is an open-book exam, which allows the candidate to refer to the official PRINCE2® manual during the exam. The Practitioner exam uses objective test questions which require a candidate to choose a response to a question from a set of choices, only one of which is correct. The exam will consist of 68 questions. The pass mark is 38 (55%).

A PRINCE2 Practitioner Exam simulation is provided as part of the event preparation material on SPOCE's classroom events and eLearning packages which provides samples of the scenario, question styles and formats and provides a safe and encouraging environment to test and reform your understanding of the method.
