You can change the time of the exams as you please. However, if you change the date 48hrs prior to start time, PeopleCert will charge a fee. A webcam is required to identify yourself to the proctor with a photographic ID and then you can do the exams online from home.
What are the technical requirements for the online exam?
A personal computer is recommended to avoid any technical issues. If you are using an office computer, make sure you have the access rights or IT support at the time of the exam.
Exams can be taken on a recent MAC or PC with Windows. A webcam and working microphone (internal or external) are required.
The online exam is not available on a tablet (Ipad) or Cellular phone at the moment.
What’s the best way to prepare for the PRINCE2 exams?
Set your exam date first. Then work towards it. The material takes 34 hours study to get you to Practitioner level. So, work out how long that is going to take you and then book the exams. This way you have a clear target to aim at. This will help you stay on schedule.
Do I need ID for the PRINCE2 exams?
You must have a photographic ID with you. A driver’s license or passport is fine. A work ID, with photograph, is also acceptable.
English is not my native tongue?
For exams done in another language than your native tongue, you will be attributed 25% more time. We can also make arrangements to help with dyslexia or medical issues regarding exams if you submit a doctor’s note in advance.
How long does my PRINCE2 qualification last?
The PRINCE2 certificates are valid 3 years.
You can join the PeopleCert Plus membership for a small fee, maintain your digital badge and certification by recording 20 points of continuous development per year. Otherwise retaking the exams after 3 years will be costly.
Candidates who do not renew will still be included on the Successful Candidates Register (SCR) and the Candidate Verification Service, but a note will be added to their record to indicate that their certification needs to be renewed to align with current certification requirements.
What happens if I don’t pass an exam?
If you don’t pass an exam you can do a re-sit. We will send you a new voucher code for an additional fee. If you feel insecure, it is possible to purchase a re-sit insurance from PeopleCert up to 15 minutes prior to taking the exam. This will provide you a second attempt if necessary within the following 6 months.
