Today I have passed my PRINCE2 Practitioner exam. I can now call myself “Certified PRINCE2 Practitioner”.

The exam itself is a lot more work than the Foundation exam. In the Practitioner exam you have to prove, not only, that you have understood the principles of PRINCE2, but also that you can use them and combine them in a real project.

Happy programming

Today I passed the PRINCE2 Foundation exam. This leads the way to the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam, which I will be sitting through some time later.

I really find it rewarding to work on a project for some time and see the benefits realised. You can say that passing the PRINCE2 exam was the benefit of me reading the PRINCE2 manual the for the duration of the last month. One thing I have learned is that it is very, very benefitial to download exam questions from the internet and work with them while you read. I also got the book "Passing the PRINCE2 Examinations". It contains a syllabus and a trial exam.

If you would like to know more about PRINCE2, visit the PRINCE2 website.

This fall is going to be the fall where I will take my PRINCE2 exam. :-)

I am currently reading for the PRINCE2 Foundation exam and I will continue with the PRINCE2 Practitioner.

What is PRINCE2?

The official PRINCE2 website says:

PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is a process-based method for effective project management. PRINCE2 is a de facto standard used extensively by the UK Government and is widely recognised and used in the private sector, both in the UK and internationally. The method PRINCE2 is in the public domain, offering non-proprietorial best practice guidance on project management.

I am reading the official PRINCE2 book from OGC and it is very informative and good reading. If you think of going into project management I can really recommend reading this book.

Happy programming!
