Course details

This 2-day training course is designed to help you achieve the PRINCE2 Practitioner qualification, which is widely regarded as essential for managing projects using PRINCE2.

You will be able to undertake this course if you have either passed the PRINCE2 Foundation exam, or have completed the PMP, CAPM, or one of the IPMA Levels A, B, C or D. Proof of passing any of these qualifications will be required in the form of a certificate.

Our courses are designed and taught to give you the greatest chance of passing your exams. At the end of the course you will take your PRINCE2 Practitioner examination. By studying with us, you can have the best chance of passing your exam. That’s because our PRINCE2 Practitioner exam pass rate since 2012 has averaged 83%, 10% higher than the UK National average.

We also like to save you time. Our exclusive online pre-course study materials will help you to re-familiarise yourself with PRINCE2 before you start the course. We’ve pinpointed the essential aspects of the PRINCE2 syllabus in the preparation materials, with the major advantage that you can prepare for the course in just 3-4 hours, instead of the 16+ hours required by many other training providers.

Knowledge Train is based in London and is a PRINCE2 Accredited Training Organisation, which means you can be confident that our courses conform to the highest standards of project management training.

Please note: The course is held on Wednesday afternoon, all day Thursday, and then on Friday morning (the exam). This is not a refresher course.

Why this qualification?

The PRINCE2 Practitioner qualification is the next highest level after the PRINCE2 Foundation qualification. The PRINCE2 Foundation qualification enables you to work as an informed member of a project team, whereas the Practitioner shows you can apply PRINCE2 to simple projects.

If you are looking to manage projects rather than support them, then the PRINCE2 Practitioner course is for you.

Who is this for?

The PRINCE2 Practitioner qualification is your ideal starting point to begin managing your projects effectively. If you have not yet taken the PRINCE2 Foundation course, a more suitable option would be the combined Foundation & Practitioner course

If your career goals differ from the ones listed below, please feel free to discuss your goals with our specialist advisors on 0207 148 5985. They can advise you on choosing a course which best suits your career.

I currently work as a member of a project team and want to start managing them

If you have passed your PRINCE2 Foundation exam previously, you have most likely been able to practice PRINCE2 within your project. The PRINCE2 Practitioner qualification will qualify you as a registered PRINCE2 Practitioner which shows that you are able to manage simple projects using PRINCE2.

I am unemployed and want to put PRINCE2 on my CV

If you are currently seeking a job in project management, then becoming PRINCE2 certified will instantly increase your chances of employment. You will find that most project manager job specifications expect you to be a full PRINCE2 Practitioner, rather than just having completed the Foundation course.

I want to change career and work in project management

If you are in the process of changing your career to work in project management, the PRINCE2 Practitioner qualification is the essential starting point. We have trained beginners who are from unrelated backgrounds such as consultancy, military, merchandising and even nursing; all of which may or may not have included elements of project work.

I want to organize PRINCE2 Practitioner training for my colleagues

If your organization wants to train its staff in the world’s most popular project management methodology, then we can help. We’ve been delivering in-house PRINCE2 training for over 10 years. Our knowledgeable and dedicated trainers can help your staff get quickly up to speed with PRINCE2 and help them gain professional PRINCE2 Practitioner certification as well.

To help us better understand your PRINCE2 training requirements, call one of our expert advisors now on 0207 148 5985 or complete this form.

Course and exam structure

The bulk of the PRINCE2 Practitioner course builds on your existing knowledge of PRINCE2, by showing you how to apply the method to the various styles of exam questions.

The course lasts for 2 days (a half day, one full day and a further half day). There is some pre-course reading of approximately 3-4 hours. Homework of approximately 2 hours per night will be set.

On the last morning you will sit the Practitioner exam. This is a 2.5 hour multiple choice open book exam containing 68 questions and you must score a minimum of 38 correct answers to pass.

Our PRINCE2 Practitioner exam pass rate since 2012 has averaged 83%, 10% higher than the UK National average.

Recommend to anyone serious about PRINCE2

Excellent trainer who had a very 'to the point' way of teaching. Course materials were very helpful and registration was smooth. Venue was good. Recommend to anyone serious about PRINCE2.

Nick was a very good teacher

Nick was a very good teacher. He had great teaching techniques that helped develop my understanding, Overall, however, I feel the course may benefit from 2 days of teaching and the exam after (i.e. a 3 day course).

Clearly explained by excellent trainer

It was a very helpful course. Good exam prep with tips and techniques to help you pass. Was all clearly explained by excellent trainer, who gave practical advice and was a great communicator. Our training course booklet was good and we also had useful pre-course study.

Amazing trainer

Is a good course. Amazing trainer, 5 star! But I would say it wasn't long enough. Intense with lots of content, but missing a quick review of Foundation. The course materials were really detailed and outlined in a clear style. It is a nice venue too, but would be nice to have an area other than cafe to take breaks in.

Excellent

Excellent course with very useful course materials and an excellent trainer. After doing my Foundation course here some time ago, I chose to come back to Knowledge Train for my Practitioner. All good.

Kobus is the ideal trainer for PRINCE2

Course was good. I enjoyed the informal style of delivery and ability to ask questions, rather than following a rigid plan. Going through questions was useful and bought about a lot of discussion. The materials provided were very good, being all in one place and a good reference point. Kobus is the ideal trainer for PRINCE2, as it is such a dry subject. He provides humour and is a funny guy! Thanks!

Overall was very enjoyable

Very intense, but overall was very enjoyable. I completed the Foundation exam a year ago, and returned to Knowledge Train for the Practitioner course because the trainers are excellent. We received very good pre-course study and course materials too.

Excellent trainer

Really good. Gave me the confidence needed to pass the exam. The trainer's tips were very useful. The course materials were good. Not too demanding, but provides enough guidance to prepare for the exam. We had an excellent trainer with a very good understanding of the exam and of what is required to pass. Very happy I chose this course.


09 Dec 2016

Well-delivered

I felt the course was very well-delivered. Our pre-course study was relevant and the trainer was straight to the point. He took time to help clarify any issues or doubts we had.

"Since 2005 we have trained over 10,000 students. We have been able to get a very high pass rate"

What our students say

"An intensive course which was run by a very competent teacher (Kobus) who made an incredibly dry topic easier to learn. Lots of real life experience from him which enabled the class of students to gel and work well together. Highly recommend Knowledge Train when it comes to PRINCE 2 training especially the excellent teacher."
Amanda McGowan

"Kobus is a fantastic teacher. He made what is a pretty dull topic fun and interesting. I actually enjoyed the course, which I did not expect. I just wish Kobus had taught me physics at school, as I think he could make the dullest topic in the world enjoyable. But more importantly, I've actually learned a great deal, passed the Foundation exam, and am confident about the Practitioner exam. A fabulous trainer and a great course. I'd highly recommend the course (Kobus as a teacher) to anyone. Thank you Kobus!"
Harriet King, Deputy Ambassador for Senegal

"I thought the delivery of the course was very good. The trainer has the knowledge and delivers in lively way, given that PRINCE2 is otherwise a quite mundane methodology. The examples he provided were useful and I liked the humour added."
Vanja Lisic, British Embassy

"The course was great. Kobus was an excellent teacher, made it fun and interesting. Kobus provided the support necessary in assisting me to pass my Foundation exam. He was very friendly and built excellent relationships. The e-books were an excellent revision tool."
Vishal Thakrar, Ernst & Young

"The course fulfills the purpose of teaching students how to pass the Foundation exam and the Practitioner exam. Kobus is a fantastic teacher! He manages to make quite a dry subject a lot more interesting. An enjoyable week."
Rosanna Moseley, Steelhenge

"The course was very interactive and excellently delivered. Kobus's sense of humour and experience did help. He was able to carry the group along. I will definitely recommend the tutor to others."
Daniel Olajide, 311 Consulting Limited

- Sarah Creed, Museum of London

"I attended PRINCE2 weekend course (Foundation and Practitioner) this April. I got to know about this course by looking at websites of various companies offering this course and then checking out Knowledge Train website. I decided to go for Knowledge Train for their good reviews/ratings. The cost of the course was reasonable too as compared to some other companies. Special thanks to Nick (trainer) for his excellent teaching and delivery method"

- Brian Makepeace, Project Manager - UEL

- Mounir Ouanaimi - Northwestern University in Qatar

"Although there is a lot to digest during the course, the teacher was outstanding at effectively informing us of the main subject points. He was also good at explaining new terms and concepts referring to everyday situations. I will definitely be recommending this school to my friends and colleagues."
- Kie Yoshida, Mobell Communications Ltd

"The whole package was professional from start to the finish, and the tutor was most helpful in every way. To get the best out of this course, you MUST complete the pre-class lessons prior to the classroom course and take the sample questions on Knowledge Train's e-learning platform."
- Yemmi Agbebi, MBA

"I thought the course was very well run, despite the fact that the course is packed of information. I had plenty of time to learn and revise as instructed by the tutor. The tutor is very knowledgeable and engaging. Thank you!"
- Tanya Last, Methods
