Prince 2
I feel it would be a nice to have on my CV and want to do the practisioners exam. Are there any practice questions which you can buy anywhere before taking the exam.
Trancender do them for IT exams and I was wondering if any companies do them for Prince 2. I have the book but want to get used to taking the exam withing the time limit and get a feel for the type of questions they fire at you.
It seems much of the courses on offer are expensive and a waste of time. From past experiences a read of the book and run through questions usually works for me so shelling out £500 is a waste.

The organisation I work for uses PRINCE2 and puts everyone through the requisite courses to gain the necessary qualifications. Before you can take the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam, you have to take, and pass, the PRINCE2 Foundation exam.
The firm we use is SCC, and while I don’t know whether they will let you just take the exams, the link below will take you to their website so you can contact them and find out.

One thing to remember, when you do become PRINCE2 Practitioner qualified, you have to take a re-qualifying exam every three to five years to retain your certification.
Hope this helps.
Chris Oggham - 0Andrew Godfrey ·Hi,
Why not go to www.apmgroup.co.uk - they provide the accreditation for Prince2
or http://www.ogc.gov.uk/index.asp?id=1000829 - the owners of Prince2
or http://www.usergroup.org.uk/ - this is the UK user group for best practice (Prince2, M_o_R etc...)
Hope this helps

Get yourself down to "The Stationary Office" in kingsway, Holborn Tube, this is the place that sells all government publications. They have all of the OGC publications there and i am pretty sure they have exam prepartation as well.
PRINCE is useful as most companies have some sort of tailored prince methodologies.
