AgilePM certification
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.
More details of the certification can be found here.

Studying online is ideal for busy people. If you study AgilePM 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.

Designed for long lasting learning
All our online courses have been designed using the latest best practices in elearning.
Some competitors develop elearning 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 elearning will help you gain an understanding of agile project management so that you can sit your exams with confidence.
