Levels of AgilePM Examinations
There two main levels of AgilePM exams available: Foundation and Practitioner with variants for Version 2.0 and Version 3.0.
Foundation Level
Achieving Foundation-level certification demonstrates sufficient understanding of the method for someone to work effectively within, or supporting, a project.
NB: Foundation certification is required before achieving Practitioner certification.
Practitioner Level
The AgilePM Practitioner certification is for anyone managing projects. This could be as part of a formal project management function or a role in which project management is an inherent part of day-to-day work. The Practitioner certification aims to confirm that you have sufficient knowledge and understanding in order to apply and tailor the method in a range of different project environments and scenarios.
