Intermediate qualifications
Intermediate qualifications are those that require candidates to first attain entry-level certifications or otherwise have stringent prerequisites.
PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner
To be eligible for a PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner examination, candidates must hold either PRINCE2 Foundation, PRINCE2 Agile Foundation, PMI® Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® or an equivalent qualification.
PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner courses elaborate on those topics covered by the PRINCE Agile Foundation course.
This course explores the practical application of the PRINCE2 method to working projects.
Agile PM Practitioner
To be eligible for the Agile PM Practitioner examination, candidates are required to have first passed the Agile PM Foundation exam or have an equivalent certification in Agile.
The AgilePM Practitioner qualification aims to build upon the concepts first taught in the AgilePM Foundation course with a greater emphasis placed on your ability to apply and tailor the method to any given scenario.
Earning this qualification allows you to demonstrate your competence in DSDM management and your ability to begin work as an Agile project manager to potential employers.
Upon completion, candidates will be equipped with the confidence and in-depth knowledge necessary to implement the AgilePM framework and manage the daily tasks of a professional project manager.
PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)®
The PMI-ACP® is PMI’s answer to the growing need for experienced Agile project managers. Whilst not itself an Agile project management certification, the ACP is PMI’s fastest growing certification with an increasing number of project managers electing to acquire this qualification each year.
PMI-ACP® qualifications recognize practitioners’ ability to work as an Agile practitioner, rather than simply having knowledge of the subject. The PMI brand carries weight and credibility owing to the difficulty of its certification exam, guaranteeing that only those who have a good grasp of course material go on to earn their qualifications.
To be eligible for the PMI-ACP examination, candidates require 2000 hours of project management experience, and 30 contact-hours of training making it mandatory for candidates to first attend a PMI training course provided by select training service providers. It is possible however to earn this experience through other Agile courses such as a PSM I or Agile PM training course.
