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)

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

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.
