Is PRINCE2 an open book exam?

The PRINCE2 Practitioner exam is an open-book format, which means that candidates are allowed to refer to the official PRINCE2 guidance manual during the examination. This allows them to apply their knowledge of the PRINCE2 methodology to practical scenarios and demonstrate their ability to use the guidance in a real-world setting.

On the other hand, the PRINCE2 Foundation exam is a closed-book format, which means that candidates are not allowed to use any reference materials during the examination. This assesses their knowledge of the PRINCE2 methodology and ensures that they have a thorough understanding of the principles, people, practices, and processes.
