What's new in v3? Could this course help you reach your goals? 

Let's find out more.

What is AgilePM®?

The APMG Agile Project Management Foundation & Practitioner, known as AgilePM® for short, is a combined accelerated course that enables you to achieve both APMG Project Management levels in just 3 days.

The course consists of the Foundation and Practitioner levels and ends with both official exams; upon passing them, you will become a certified Agile Project Manager.

The course focuses on core Agile principles, the DSDM Agile Project Management framework, Agile project lifecycles, Agile techniques, and the roles and responsibilities within an Agile project.

At Firebrand, we are proud to be an APMG Accredited Training Organisation (ATO) and offer the latest version of AgilePM®, v3. Depending on your goals, you can take the Foundation or Practitioner levels separately, or achieve both through this combined course.

Who should pursue AgilePM®?

AgilePM® is a comprehensive certification that attests you have the knowledge and skills you need to manage Agile projects.

The Foundation level is open to anyone, while the Practitioner level builds on that knowledge for an advanced certification.

Whether you are a practising Project Manager, looking to become one, or looking to specialise in Agile, achieving AgilePM® shows you mean business. More than 240,000 professionals around the world take these exams each year.

What's different in AgilePM® v3?

V3 is a high-quality update to AgilePM® V2.

V3 goes beyond Project Management and ventures into Agile Project Leadership, especially multi-team; it's also much more aligned with Scrum, provides more advanced Risk Management and Risk Assessment tools, and is overall more focused on delivering tangible business value rather than products.

If you've been considering AgilePM® for a while, this is an excellent version to study.

How long does the course take?

We specialise in accelerated courses that help you become competent, confident, and certified fast. The combined course comprised of both AgilePM® levels takes only 3 days.

Where is the course delivered?

You can take this course in person, at our all-inclusive, distraction-free training facilities, or online, through live instructor-led training. Nothing is pre-recorded. You learn directly from experienced instructors who cover the official AgilePM® curriculum.

The Foundation curriculum consists of:
