Agile Project Management Foundation & Practitioner Online Courses - AgilePM®

Agile project management

AgilePM is the certification developed by the APMG in conjunction with the Agile Business Consortium. It’s based upon the DSDM Agile Project Framework.

DSDM originated in 1994 as an agile project delivery framework in the software industry. DSDM was one of the founders of the agile manifesto and therefore has a strong pedigree amongst the agile community.

As an individual the main benefits of gaining agile project management certification are:

• you can boost your understanding of how to manage agile projects;

Agile project management careers

If you are already a project manager, a software developer or a team leader and you want to develop your career in a project management direction, then gaining an agile project management qualification is a great way to go.

By far the best agile project management certification in the UK is AgilePM. In fact, we haven’t come across any other similar qualifications anywhere in the world. As a sign of its popularity, over 100,000 AgilePM exams have been sat since it was launched in 2010.

Benefits of online learning

Why study your agile project management course online?

Studying agile project management online is ideal for busy people. If you study your agile project management course online rather than in a classroom there are some key benefits:

• Saves time – Studying online means you don’t need to travel to a course venue to study. You don’t even need to go to an exam centre because you can take your exams online too.
• Saves money – the price of our courses is very competitive. It comes with an exam too, so there’s no extra costs to you.
• Flexible schedule – you can study where and when you want. The only requirement is that you need internet access.

Designed for long lasting learning

All our online courses have been designed using the latest best practices in e-learning.

Some competitors develop e-learning cheaply by simply filming a trainer in a classroom. We don’t think that’s a good way to help students learn, nor does it engage learners.

Our courses are highly interactive and exercises have been designed to aid a deeper level of understanding, leading to longer-lasting learning. We are confident that our interactive e-learning will help you gain an understanding of agile project management so that you can sit your exams with confidence.
