PRINCE2® Practitioner: This certification is for candidates who are managing projects as part of their role. It aims to confirm whether candidates have a sufficient understanding of how to apply and customize the method in a range of different project environments and scenarios.

Customer Review

I just completed the uCertify Prince2 Study guide. This was super easy to use the online platform, which broke down the material into manageable and easily digestible chunks of information, with real-world scenarios, exam spotlights for easy reference, as well as tables and diagrams. I especially appreciated the knowledge check sections that helped to emphasize key knowledge areas to prepare you for the exam. You should definitely check this resource if you're thinking about taking the Prince2 Exam!

The course offers a systematic approach to delivering successful content with clear templates, processes model, steps, and master project plan (project plans, stage plans, and team plans). During my study, I have understood that PRINCE2 is more methodological and practical than PMP which is more like project management standards.

I have been given the opportunity from uCertify to try out their PRINCE2 2017 online course. I completed the pre-assessment phase, which I elected to do before reading the Prince2 Manual or doing starting any courseware. I am very impressed by the standard of the questions, user interface and the fact it worked!
