| Overview: |
The PMI-ACP® Certification Preparation course will thoroughly prepare agile practitioners to sit for and pass the PMI-ACP® exam through instructor-led presentations, class discussions, games, exercises, and practice exams. The course is aligned with the PMI-ACP Exam Content Outline (ECO) and provides everything needed to pass the exam. This course also provides students with the 21 contact hours necessary to apply for the exam.
The Project Management Institute has defined tasks required of the agile practitioner that fall into seven domains of practice. Tools and techniques as well as knowledge and skills needed by the PMI-ACP certified professional have also been identified that apply to all domains. Comprehensive coverage of all concepts will be in enough depth to ensure thorough understanding at the level required to pass the exam.
