Find out the PRINCE2 2017 changes in a nutshell and what they mean to you with course dates from SPOCE

1. When?
Official launch date is 4th July with the first exams taking place on 10th July.
What?
The core of PRINCE2® with it’s tried and tested approach is as strong today as it ever was. However, the following
changes have been made:
The guidance
 Tailoring now appears as a constant throughout the guidance.
 More specific examples are given in applying themes to a project.
 Practical examples of applying the methods are increased in the guidance.
 There is an enhanced link between the themes and principles.
The exams
 Foundation - 60 questions in 60 minutes with a slightly increased pass mark of 55%.
 Practitioner - 68 (recently reduced) questions in 2hrs 30 mins with a pass mark of 55%. Blooms level has slightly
increased so questions are harder but this is balanced by the reduction in number.
Practitioner status
 Practitioner status will now last for 3 years instead of the current 5 years. Candidates will no longer be able
to refresh this with a ‘Re-Registration’ exam. Practitioner status will need to be upheld by doing one of the
following:
1. An active subscription to the AXELOS PRINCE2® membership scheme each year
2. Completing the required 20 CPD points per year over a 3 year period
3. Taking the Practitioner exam again
Important changes to membership status
As part of the PRINCE2 2017 changes and its newly implemented connection with AXELOS membership, AXELOS are
changing the way in which candidates can maintain their certification through PRINCE2 Membership. As follows:
1. One year’s PRINCE2 Membership with every PRINCE2 2017 Update Practitioner exam from 10 July 2017
2. Set the price of membership to £50 + VAT per annum and no longer a registration fee.
