PRINCE2 7 Pract. is PeopleCert's practitioner credential, so you need to meet a few requirements before you can sit it. Here's exactly what qualifies — and how to prepare once you do.
To be approved for the PRINCE2 7 Pract. exam, PeopleCert requires:
✓ PRINCE2 Foundation certificate required (7th, 6th or 5th edition all accepted).
✓ Certain other PM credentials (e.g. PMP, CAPM, IPMA levels) are accepted as alternatives — verify the current list on peoplecert.org.
Keep a record of your projects and roles — PeopleCert may audit a sample of applications.
PRINCE2 7 Pract. requires valid 3 years — renew by re-sitting the exam or via cpd points through peoplecert plus (verify current rules) to stay current.
Meeting the requirements gets you to the exam; passing it is a separate job. PRINCE2 7 Pract. is an application exam, so the fastest route is targeted practice with explanations, not just reading. ExamDeck gives you original PRINCE2 7 Pract. questions, per-area readiness, and a spaced-repetition error log — 6 free to start.
6 free questions · explanation for every option · no dumps, no ads.
Start free →Yes — Foundation tests recall; Practitioner is open-book and scenario-based at Bloom's levels 3–4: you judge whether an action is appropriate, which role should act, and how to tailor a practice to the context.
Only the official 7th-edition manual is allowed — no notes or photocopies. Success depends on knowing the manual's structure well enough to navigate quickly under time pressure, not on memorizing it.
Yes — PRINCE2 Foundation (any recent edition) is the standard prerequisite, though PeopleCert accepts some alternative credentials like PMP or IPMA levels — verify the current list.
56 questions and sub-questions worth 70 marks total, scenario-based objective testing built around a project case study, in 150 minutes (extra time for non-native English speakers).
The passing score is 60% — 42 out of 70 marks. Aim for a consistent 80–85% on realistic practice exams before booking.
PeopleCert does not publish official pass rates, so any exact percentage quoted online is unverified. The readiness signal that actually predicts passing: consistently holding 80–85% on realistic, full-length practice exams before you book.

PeopleCert lists three EUR bundles (VAT included): Exam Bundle €701 (exam voucher plus Learning Resource Kit - note it does NOT include the official eBook, unlike the Foundation bundle, and this is the open-book exam), eLearning €1,596, eLearning+ €1,833 (adds a free retake and the official mock exam) - verified 12 Sep 2026. Prices vary by country and provider - verify on peoplecert.org. The Take2 resit add-on is much cheaper than a standalone retake.
