Welcome aboard the Knowledge Train. In this podcast we explore insights and tips to help you manage your way to success in your career and business. I’m Simon Buehring, your conductor on this journey to knowledge and I’m thrilled to have you with us today.

If you’ve been eyeing that PRINCE2 certification and are curious about what it takes to clear the hurdles of its exams, today’s episode is tailor-made for you. We’re going to uncover the mystery behind PRINCE2 exam pass rates, and how they might influence your decision in choosing a training course. So, let’s get rolling.

You’ve decided to take the leap into the world of PRINCE2, and that’s commendable. But before you sign up for that course or mark the date of your exam, you might find yourself pondering on the pass rates. Just how many aspirants cross the finish line? It’s more than just numbers; it’s about setting expectations and understanding what lies ahead on your path to becoming PRINCE2 certified.

Now, let’s clarify a common confusion among candidates – the difference between the exam pass mark and the pass rate. The pass mark is the score needed to ace the exam, usually expressed as a percentage of the total. Take the PRINCE2 Foundation exam, for example. You’re looking at needing 36 out of 60, or a 60% mark to pass. On the other hand, the pass rate is a bit different. It’s the proportion of individuals who pass the exam out of those who attempt it. For instance, in the UK, the national average for people passing the PRINCE2 Foundation exam has hovered around 73% since the year 2012.

Speaking of averages, the landscape across the UK for PRINCE2 exam pass rates is quite telling. The Foundation exam boasts an impressive average pass rate of 97%, while the Practitioner exam stands at 73%. This has been a steady trend for several years, painting a picture of consistency and perhaps, predictability.

As for us at Knowledge Train, we take pride in our pass rates since 2012. Comparing our numbers to the national average, you’ll find that our candidates tend to outperform. For the Foundation exam, while the pass mark is at 60%, our trainees enjoy a 99% pass rate. The Practitioner level, admittedly more challenging, still sees our candidates surpassing the UK average with an 83% success rate. These statistics not only reflect our commitment to quality training but also suggest that with the right preparation, success in PRINCE2 exams is within reach.

Now, finding a trustworthy PRINCE2 training academy is crucial and can be as tricky as navigating a maze. Not all claims you read about are true, and transparency is key. Our advice? Do your homework. Read the reviews, and not just the shining, 5-star ones. Dive deep into the customer experiences shared on various platforms like Google, Facebook, or review websites. A pattern of grievances – such as last-minute course cancellations, misleading information about exams, or inadequate customer service – should raise red flags. Remember, if an academy’s practices don’t inspire confidence, you might want to question their boasted pass rates as well.

Finally, let us not forget why we’re all here – to help you pass your PRINCE2 exams. Whether you choose a classroom setting or prefer the flexibility of an online, self-paced course, Knowledge Train is equipped to guide you through. Plus, we’ve compiled a treasure trove of articles and tips, outlining question styles and exam strategies to give you that extra edge.
