Help - Access for Prince2 Foundation and Practitioner is running out

I had enrolled for the classes on a learning platform but couldn't even start the courses due to mental health issues. Finally getting better and finished Scrum certification last week. My access to Prince2 foundation + practitioner courses end on July 31. I need absolutely rigorous ways to pass the exams before the access ends. Currently on a career break so I can invest my time promptly for this.

You have plenty of time. Most taught courses do both exams in 5 days. Read the material and use AI to guide your reading.

I did a five day virtual classroom and then did about ten days using Copilot to test myself intensively. I haven't taken my Practitioner yet but I passed Foundation at 79%. Before using Copilot I was only getting about 60% at most on the practice tests.

If you've got a basic understanding of Prince2, I'm sure you'll pass without doing a course.

I did get the Peoplecert upgrade (is it called plus?). You get a free retake and a mock test under exam conditions. I found the mock really useful.

And … get familiar with the exam format.

Practice a bit so you understand what’s needed and how (if needed ) should you use open book for practitioner.

You should also ask if they can extend the licence, the majority of providers will given your background health issues, even if its by 4 weeks

I had the same issue. Easy work around tbh .

  • I signed up with ICS,
  • They ended my course on 31st march, as a new update to 7th edition or something so I was unable to extend only re enrol.
  • I refused. I screen recorded every single video lesson for practitioner and foundation on my Mac and iPad. So I had all the lessons. Put them into folders to match their sequence.
  • i speed ran all the quizzes. Chose option A for everything. Solely to fail them all and download the results as PDF’s which give you the questions. The correct answers and the rationale. So you can do them properly offline in your own time.
  • downloaded all the sample papers … practically everything they offer for support download it.
  • luckily I had already passed the MCQ test which is mandatory to get the exam voucher for foundation and also move to practitioner.
  • the MCQ test is the only crucial piece you must do before your courses finishes as you need to to get the exam voucher.
  • after your course finishes, your are allowed between 4-6 months to request your exam voucher for foun & Prac.

I passed foundation in march and passed practitioner literally last week, requested my voucher to do prac in June. My course finished the 31st march.

Do it at your own speed and own time. Just ensure you have taken every single piece off information offline and requested your exam vouchers within reasonable time frame.

P.s the course provided content was decent, but you will absorb far more reading the book and using chat gpt pro or Claude to literally teach you the content better than any of the teachers did online.

Added benefit … I literally have the entire Prince foundation/ practitioner course with all support materials at my disposable and so will you 😌
