Duration: 5 Days

Who should attend:

Prepare your team to achieve AgilePM® Foundation and Practitioner Certification Training certifications with this highly successful Agile project management certification training course. As an APMG-certified AgilePM Practitioner, you will possess a deep knowledge of the Agile project management methodology and demonstrate skills for developing solutions incrementally, enabling teams to handle changing requirements effectively, improving team collaboration, and empowering individuals.

This 5-day AgilePM Certification course includes both exams and provides a greater opportunity to discuss and explore the ideas and techniques behind the AgilePM methodology. It also allows you to take the Practitioner exam on the morning of the final day - leading to improved pass marks compared to exams taken during afternoons.

Pre-requisites:

Delegates should have a familiarity with project work, either as a project manager or as another role on a project - this course is not designed to teach people how to be project managers. Instead, it is intended to provide an agile framework to those who already have some essential project experience.
