Introduction
The course consists of two qualification levels: Foundation and Practitioner, with an examination for each. The Foundation Agile Project Management certification lives up to its name by providing the users of the method with the core principles needed to facilitate a successful project, while allowing a degree of scope and agility that not many other methodologies provide. The Practitioner level empowers, encourages and equips you with an in-depth knowledge of not just the certification, but also how to apply and implement these principles into the life of a project manager on a daily basis.
Professional Development Units (PDUs) 35.
Audience profile
The Agile Project Management certification is useful to all candidates and competency levels ranging from highly experienced project managers to those new to the industry.
Pre-requisites
Students will be required to complete pre-course reading prior to their attendance to ensure that they are prepared for the course. Students should receive their courseware two weeks prior to the start date of the course. It is therefore encouraged that students read, and familiarize themselves with, the Agile Project Management Handbook prior to the start of the course. Whilst attending the course students should also be prepared to complete evening work.
There are no mandatory prerequisites for the Foundation examination.
Pre-requisites accepted to be eligible to take the Practitioner examination:
- AgilePM Foundation Certificate (either 2010 or 2014 version), or

The Foundation examination assesses a candidate’s knowledge of Agile Project Management. The Practitioner examination tests a candidate’s ability to apply the concepts of Agile Project Management to the running and managing of projects.

- Explain how to lay the foundations for successful agile projects

Agile Project Management (AgilePM®) Overview
In an effort to become more agile, organisations are looking to adopt a more flexible approach to the delivery of projects. However; where existing formal project management processes already exist, the informality of many of the agile approaches is daunting and is sometimes perceived as a potential risk. These project-focused organisations need a more agile approach to project delivery; Agile Project Management.
Agile Project Management instructor led training and certification, through Torque IT, focuses on developing skills and solutions incrementally thus enabling project teams to react effectively to changing requirements, whilst empowering project personnel and encouraging increased collaboration and ownership.
