Prepare for Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)® Certification while learning to lead Agile software projects that adapt to change, drive innovation and deliver on-time business value.

Today, more and more organizations and companies are adopting the Agile Approach over the traditional Waterfall Methodology and many more are progressively making this essential transition. PMI Agile Certified Practitioners median salaries now exceed six figures! See http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Certification=PMI_Agile_Certified_Practionioner_(PMI-ACP)/Salary#by_City

Our Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP)® CertificationTraining will prepare you to lead your next Agile project and help you prepare for the Project Management Institute Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)® Certification Exam.

The PMI-ACP® is PMI's fastest growing certification, and it’s no wonder. Organizations that are highly agile and responsive to market dynamics complete more of their projects successfully than their slower-moving counterparts — 75 percent versus 56 percent — according to PMA.

The PMI-ACP spans many approaches to agile such as Scrum, Kanban, Lean, extreme programming (XP) and test-driven development (TDD.) So it will increase your versatility, wherever your projects may take you.
