AgilePM® certification is useful for all candidates and competency levels, from highly experienced project managers to those new to the industry.

Agile Project Management (AgilePM) is the world’s most widely used framework for Agile project management, and with good reason! Based on the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), AgilePM combines the flexibility and adaptability of Agile with a level of control and direction found in more traditional project management approaches. Not only that, but the framework is also easier on newcomers than alternatives like PRINCE2 Agile, making it an excellent choice for businesses that are new to the Agile methodology.

This course will take students through AgilePM before giving them a comprehensive understanding of how to apply it in practice. By passing the AgilePM Foundation and AgilePM Practitioner certification exams, a candidate will qualify for larger roles in Agile projects and even unlock new career and networking opportunities. 

This course is designed to prepare students to sit and pass the AgilePM Foundation and AgilePM Practitioner certification exams. Passing the Practitioner exam will demonstrate a student’s understanding not only of the key elements of the framework, but also how to apply them in practice.

In addition to practice exams, instructor-led videos, and other online training assets, students also receive free exam vouchers.
