Why choose our certifications
What our learners say
I like that the theory behind AgilePM is well structured and organised. It gave me a broader perspective on the needs of the customer, how to handle their requests and all that for everybody's benefit.
In AgilePM, I learned a lot and will be applying my new knowledge, not just on new client projects, but in my own company.
Scrum has its strengths, but understanding its place within effective project management is crucial. The AgilePM for Scrum course and certification illuminate this relationship.

Do I need prior Agile experience before taking a certification?
Not necessarily. For Foundation level certifications with the Agile Business Consortium, you don’t need formal agile experience - many learners start fresh and succeed.
For Practitioner level, having some practical experience working in agile or change delivery roles will help you get maximum value from the training. Training providers will clarify prerequisites before booking.
How do I take the exam?
Exams are delivered by APMG International and can be taken online or at authorised test centres.
After booking your training with an Accredited Training Provider, you will receive an exam voucher and details of how to schedule your exam. The specific format (Foundation vs Practitioner) and duration will depend on the certification you choose.
What’s the difference between Foundation and Practitioner levels?
Foundation gives you a solid understanding of the framework’s principles, terminology and practices.
Practitioner goes deeper — applying the framework, tailoring it to real situations, and demonstrating agile delivery in complex environments.
Many professionals choose to complete both levels to unlock full competency and external recognition.
How long does it take to get certified?
The time varies by provider and delivery format:
-
Foundation courses typically run 2-3 days (or equivalent online modules).
-
Practitioner courses may add another 1-2 days (or more with self-study).
Your training provider will publish full schedules.
Will the certification expire?
Some Practitioner-level certifications may require renewal or Continuing Professional Development (CPD) depending on the region/sector. Foundation certifications typically do not expire.
