Overview

This course covers the certification developed by APMG and the Agile Business Consortium to provide an agile approach to project management. The course is based on AgilePM Version 3 which was launched in 2024.

This course provides each participant with a solid Foundation in AgilePM concepts. The course is equally divided between the theory of the new wave of agile project management and the practical experience of the techniques and disciplines involved.

Course Objectives

The Foundation course will cover the latest Agile project management techniques and practices, focusing on:

  • Effective leadership styles;
  • Balancing real-world constraints;

  • Managing risks in a volatile environment;

  • Tailoring the approach to specific project needs, and

Delegates will be fully prepared for the Foundation exam.

Why we are the best value

Our AgilePM version 3 courses cover the breadth and depth of agile project management. They are presented in a clear, predictable manner with key concepts reinforced and broken down into manageable sections, making them enjoyable courses.

We recognise that studying and sitting exams can be a stressful time on top of the day-to-day commitments of our lives. Therefore the structure and flow of the course provides predictability and confidence that the learner will be able to plan and manage their own learning experience and to grasp key concepts quickly. This results in being confident in your ability to pass the certification exams and to be able to apply what has been learnt to work practice.

And we are able to offer one-on-one tutor support to those taking our Self Study and eLearning courses, so you won't feel isolated, and can clear up any aspects of the course content or its application in your organisation that may be causing concern.

Our courses were developed by Geoff Rankins, our Lead Trainer and Instructional Designer. He has worked in project management for more than 40 years, has been a Scrum Master since 2007 and has been a Practitioner of AgilePM since 2014 when it was first offered by APMG and the Agile Business Consortium. His systematic approach to courseware and eLearning development is recognised by many Accredited Training Organisations and fellow trainers globally. Our Self Study and eLearning courses are based on our classroom courses; the eLearning format allows us to add content to most sessions that increases the value and clarity of what is being covered.
