The Gold Standard for Agile Project Professionals

Yes. The PMI-ACP® exam is intended for professionals who already work with agile practices and want to deepen and validate their skills. PMI® sets specific eligibility requirements that include your level of education, general project experience, and hands on agile experience. During the course, we will review PMI’s current criteria together and point you to the latest information so you can confirm that you qualify before you apply. PMI.org is the source of truth for eligibility requirements, and its standards may change at any time, so always confirm details directly with PMI.

You do need real experience working on agile teams to qualify for the PMI-ACP® exam, but that experience can come from many settings. You may have worked on Scrum teams, Kanban teams, or hybrid projects that used agile practices for planning and delivery. During the course, we will help you think through your background in terms of PMI’s requirements. If you are very new to agile, you may want to consider our Foundations or CAPM® pathway first, then return to PMI-ACP® once you have more experience. Because PMI.org is the source of truth for PMI-ACP® eligibility, you should always review PMI’s current standards to understand the experience required.

Yes. Your registration includes dedicated PMI-ACP® exam preparation taught by a PMI® Authorized Training Partner.

Yes. The PMI-ACP® certification signals to employers that you understand how agile works in practice rather than only in theory. This course helps you connect frameworks like Scrum and Kanban to real delivery challenges, improve how you collaborate with product owners, teams, and stakeholders, and speak clearly about agile practices in interviews and performance conversations. Earning your PMI-ACP® can support growth into roles such as Scrum Master, Agile Project Manager, Product Owner, or agile team lead.

In this course, you will explore agile principles and practices across a variety of methods and frameworks. Topics include agile mindset and values, stakeholder engagement, team performance, adaptive planning, estimation, risk management, and continuous improvement. You will connect these ideas to real work through examples, discussions, and practice questions so that you can apply what you learn on your team and feel prepared for the PMI-ACP® exam.

This course is designed for professionals who work on or with agile teams and want to formalize and expand their knowledge. It is a strong fit for Scrum Masters, product owners, project managers, team leads, business analysts, and technical professionals who participate in agile projects. It is also helpful for leaders who need to understand agile practices in order to support teams and guide change across their organization.

The course fee covers your live instruction, course materials, and learning support. The PMI-ACP® exam fee is paid directly to PMI® when you apply to take the exam, or it may be covered by a qualifying exam voucher provided through the Snyder Center. During the course, we will walk you through the application process and point you to PMI’s current pricing model and policies. Because PMI.org maintains the most current information on exam fees, always confirm costs directly with PMI.

Yes. This course provides the required project management education hours you need for the PMI-ACP® application. You will receive documentation you can use when you submit your application to PMI®.

This is an instructor led course with live sessions that encourage questions, discussion, and practice. Sessions are held online so you can join from anywhere, as long as you have a stable internet connection and a quiet place to participate.

You will receive access to PMI® Authorized Training Partner materials that align with the PMI-ACP® exam content outline. This may include a student manual, practice questions, and study tools. Details about specific materials are listed on the course registration page.

Plan to set aside regular study time between sessions and after the course ends. Many students find that spending a few hours each week reviewing notes, completing practice questions, and revisiting key concepts helps them feel ready and confident before they schedule the exam. The amount of time you need will depend on your prior experience with agile, your comfort with the concepts, and your schedule.

We understand that life happens. If you miss a session, we will work with you on available options. In most cases, this includes joining a future offering to make up the missed content, in line with our current policies.
