Prerequisites

There are no formal prerequisites for the AgilePM® V3 Foundation certification, making it accessible to anyone interested in agile Project Management.

It is recommended that delegates have a basic understanding of what Scrum is and how it works.

However, for the Practitioner level, candidates must have passed the Foundation exam.

This ensures a solid understanding of AgilePM® principles before moving on to more advanced concepts and practical applications.

FAQs

Yes, we do provide courses suitable for beginners. However, Firebrand's accelerated courses aren't easy and it's essential that you are interested and actively pursuing a career in IT.

Traditional training providers usually run their courses from 9am to 5pm. At Firebrand Training we maximise the number of learning hours to minimise the number of training days, so you’ll be back to your job as quickly as possible.

Firebrand's accelerated courses are constantly reviewed. We ask our delegates for feedback after every course. We are official partners with leading vendors and therefore, we're provided with certification changes and updates, which we can then implement in our course delivery at a very early stage. This feedback is then analysed in view of changes or discrepancies. We will then address the topics mentioned and have a panel of subject matter experts provide us with valuable suggestions for improvement and solutions.

If you need to learn new skills and you want to be able to put them into practice quickly, then Firebrand is the right training company for you.
