Overview
Course duration: 3 days.
Suitable for delegates who have completed the PRINCE2 Foundation examination within the past six months either with Hemsley Fraser or elsewhere and wish to upgrade to the Practitioner level and sit the Practitioner examination.
This is an intensive three-day course where delegates will be working through sample Objective Testing Practitioner Exam. To gain the most out of this course, having had some recent practical experience of managing projects in the interim would be helpful.
In other circumstances we believe the five-day Foundation and Practitioner course is better suited.
All of our courses run to the latest PRINCE09 manual. For details of the changes to the manual please call us on 0845 071 2801.
Pre-course Activity
Delegates must have previously passed the Foundation examination and are expected to refresh their PRINCE2 knowledge before attending this programme as this programme is designed to prepare delegates to pass the practitioner exam, rather than teaching the PRINCE2 method itself.
