How is this different from the instructor-led course?

This is fully self-paced online study, so you set the schedule and learn from anywhere. If you’d rather learn live with a trainer and a cohort, see our instructor-led AgilePM® training course.

Do I need Foundation before Practitioner?

Yes — Practitioner builds directly on Foundation, so Foundation must be completed first. This course includes both in the right order, so you don’t need to enrol separately for each.

Is AgilePM recognised in Australia?

Yes. AgilePM® is an internationally recognised certification with CPD recognition from AIPM and PMI.

How long do I have to finish?

You have four months of full access to complete both levels and sit your exams.
