The latest release of PRINCE2 was launched on 16th June.
Those looking to take PRINCE2 training have waited with interest since the APMG announced some months ago that it was looking to “raise the bar” – as it appears that the qualification has become easier to obtain since a move away from essay based exams in 2007.
The news is that the pass mark for the Practitioner exam is being raised from 50 to 55%. This will apply to exams based on either the existing or new syllabus (they will run in parallel until 31 December 2009). The exam will be a bit shorter too (2.5 hours rather than 3).
What do you think?
- Good to keep standards for this well regarded qualification at a high level
- Unfair to those who weren’t able to qualify during the past year
