Re-Registration Examination

For Practitioners & Registered Practitioners

The PRINCE2 Examination Board has determined that all PRINCE2 Practitioners should be re-registered within 3-5 years of their original certification. This re-registration comprises a 1-hour examination set at the same standard as the Practitioner examination. All Practitioners who have taken the PRINCE2 Practitioner qualification since October 2000 have agreed or are agreeing to this requirement as part of their initial application and so are now designated as Registered Practitioners. 

Practitioners certified prior to October 2000 have the opportunity to take the re-registration examination in order to demonstrate their commitment to professional development. This is particularly important following the recent upgrading of the PRINCE2 Manual and its greater focus on Business Case and the Management of Risk.

Those who have qualified since January 2001 or have voluntarily undertaken the re-registration qualification are designated as Registered Practitioners, which enables Employers and prospective Employers to be confident with their recency of knowledge and commitment to Continuing Professional Development.

The Re-Registration Examination can be taken in paper format or online at www.apmg-exams.com. Many Accredited Training Organisations (ATOs) offer briefing sessions to bring Practitioners up to date and help them to prepare for the examination. Details of the training organisations can be found on the ATO Listing page. For further information on pricing and process for taking the Re-Registration Exam please email servicedesk@apmgroup.co.uk.

Format

Since the 1 January 2008 the PRINCE2 Re-registration exam has become an Objective Testing Exam. The exam format is:

3 questions, with a scenario background and appendices.

• Each of the 3 questions is worth 40 marks
• An overall score of 60 out of a possible 120 is required to pass
• One hour duration
• Open-book examination (only the PRINCE2 Manual is allowed).

Electronic/Online Exam

This will continue to be an essay style exam (until September 2008). The format of the exam is:

From September 2008 (expected date), the Objective Testing style Re-registration exam will be available online. The format will then be identical to the current paper based exam.
