PRINCE2 Agile™ Practitioner Certificate in Agile Project Management
Hello,
You'll shortly be attending the PRINCE2 Agile™ Practitioner Certificate in Agile Project
Management course – and to help you prepare for the course, we have put together this
pre-course learning resource. The objective of this learning resource is to help you
refresh your existing knowledge of PRINCE2, just in case you're feeling a bit rusty! In
order to gain the maximum benefit from the course, it is important that you refresh your
knowledge with PRINCE2 Practitioner level certification.
To help you achieve this we have created an online quiz. This quiz will provide you with
an opportunity to refresh your PRINCE2 Foundation knowledge.
We've also included a brief introduction to some of the key concepts that will be
covered during the course.
ONLINE QUIZ
We recommend that you attempt the
quiz a couple of times to reassure you
that you are ready to attend the course.
Note: The test is completely anonymous
and your score is not being tracked.
