PRINCE2 Agile certification
More and more projects are agile. There are now hundreds of thousands of people trained in agile development methods such as SCRUM or Kanban. However, these agile methods although flexible and able to respond quickly to change do not provide project management processes or governance.
PRINCE2, the world’s most popular project management methodology does provide such governance. PRINCE2’s controls enable organizations to keep control over projects, enabling them to deliver the benefits expected. Until now, there was no guidance on how to merge the flexibility of agile with the structure and control of PRINCE2.
PRINCE2 Agile provides such guidance and you can now get training in this brand new certification.
There’s only one level of PRINCE2 Agile certification – the Practitioner.
PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner certification
You can obtain your PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner certification by taking a 3 day PRINCE2 Agile training course at our London venue. In order to sit the PRINCE Agile examination, you must already have passed the PRINCE2 Foundation examination.
The training comes with the PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner exam. The course is accredited by PEOPLECERT and therefore complies with the syllabus which is written by AXELOS, the owners of PRINCE2 Agile.
Who is this for?
There’s a number of people who would benefit from PRINCE2 Agile training:
- Existing project managers who need to manage agile projects
- Development team members who are already trained in agile methods such as SCRUM, but who want to gain an understanding about how to manage their agile projects
- PRINCE2 Foundation qualification holders who want to complement their existing knowledge in order to better manage agile projects
By the end of the PRINCE2 Agile course, you’ll have gained an understanding of how to merge PRINCE2 with agile methods and be able to apply such knowledge to simple agile projects.
PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner exam
All of our PRINCE2 Agile training courses come with a 2.5 hour PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner exam. For students taking our PRINCE2 Agile courses the pass rate for this exam is 100%. You’ll get your results straightaway after the exam.
Prior to being accepted onto our PRINCE2 Agile course, you must show that you have already passed the PRINCE2 Foundation exam because this is a pre-requisite for obtaining the PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner certification.

In today’s economy, we often get students who are out of work who want to develop new skills for their CV. On a typical classroom course, there’s usually a good mix of men and women, and being in London, it’s not unusual to have one or two students who have travelled from abroad to one of our PRINCE2 Agile courses.
