Is it really true, am I going all Victor Meldrew in my old age? I really can not help myself having seen the latest output from the website regarding the changes to the format of the Practitioner exam, which if you weren’t aware is changing from 1st September 2007.


The document, available at www.prince2.org.uk/nmsruntime/saveasdialog.asp?lID=1142&sID=365 is an amazing read, explaining why the prestigious and much sought after qualification is now to be an “Objective Testing Exam” or in old currency multiple choice! Now don’t get me wrong, I have not accused anybody of “dumbing down”, the changes of course are to make them more acceptable to the growing international market, oh and of course to bring a significant time reduction in delivering results to candidates! Now in my day a product that was aimed at an international audience would be “localised” to meet the local market requirements not changed at source to accommodate international requirements! I am being naïve here or just suffering the Meldrews? Ok, so it’s being changed to speed up the results for the candidates, ah, customer focussed, just what we all want to hear! Oh no, Mildrew’s strike again, am I being cynical or has the monster grown to big and now we need a computer to mark the papers so that the cash cow can be milked?

And finally, yes “there will be very little writing involved so therefore the exam will be easier for those unused to writing for extended periods of time”. Make your own opinion, but I would love to see their PID!

Grumpy!
