AgilePM® eLearning course

In a classroom setting, the Foundation course is delivered over 3 days and the Practitioner course over 1 day. If you are able to work through the courses full time, you should be able to complete them in shorter timeframes.

The timings shown against each course element are indicative only. You could use them to manage your time. For the larger sessions, we've structured them in such a way as to allow you to take them in smaller chunks.
