Pass the PMI Agile Certified Practitioners exam
I am very excited to be offering my own 3-day PMI-Agile Certified Practitioner Certification Prep workshop. I’m very passionate about the PMI-ACP exam.
First, I was one of only a few instructors who were independent reviewers of the curriculum, as it was being developed. As independent reviewers of the PMI-ACP, it was our job to modify, revise, update or delete elements to ensure that it was comprehensive, contemporary (reflective of current practice), concise, and clear.
Second, I’m currently the co-lead for the newly formed ACP Support team at PMI. Among other things, we are building a body of knowledge that Registered Education Providers can teach to and that upcoming test takers can reference.
In my workshop, you’ll get a lot more than just preparation for the exam. Yes, there will be a practice exam at the beginning and end of the class. Yes, there will be practice questions throughout the 3 days of learning. But, there will also be a combination of lecture, project simulation, and exercises.
Course Overview
This course will satisfy all of the training requirements for the exam. After taking this course, students will have the strong foundation needed to begin preparing for the certification exam.The PMI-ACP(sm) certification requires the candidate to have 2,000 hours of general Project Management experience, 1,500 hours of Agile Project Management experience, 21 training hours in an Agile specific curriculum, and pass the PMI-ACP(sm) certification exam.
Who Should Attend/Prerequisites
Although this prep course is primarily targeted towards project management professionals interested in achieving the PMI-ACP(sm) certification, it could benifit many others. It is an effective foundation for anyone interested in adopting and leveraging Agile techniques, including Product & Line Managers, Program Managers, IT Managers, or Senior Technicians.
