Learning outcomes
At the end of this course you will have gained an understanding of agile project management and be ready to pass the APMG-accredited AgilePM Foundation examination.
Designed for long lasting learning
Like all our online courses, this AgilePM Foundation course has been designed using the latest best practices in elearning.
Some competitors develop elearning cheaply by simply filming a trainer in a classroom. We don’t think that’s a good way to help students learn, nor does it engage learners.
Our course is highly interactive and exercises have been designed to aid a deeper level of understanding, leading to longer-lasting learning. We are confident that our interactive elearning will help you gain an understanding of agile project management so that you can sit your AgilePM Foundation exam with confidence.
All devices
The course is fully responsive so it works on all devices – desktop, table and mobile. Because it is built with the latest web technologies it will also work on Windows, MacOS, iOS and Android.
Structure
This course consists of 11 self-paced interactive modules spread over 28 bite-size episodes which cover the full AgilePM Foundation syllabus. After completing all modules, you can use the AgilePM Foundation exam simulators to prepare for your online examination. The modules are:
- The DSDM agile approach
- DSDM philosophy and fundamentals
- DSDM principles
- Success factors
- The DSDM process
- Roles and responsibilities

Exam prep
With quizzes and exam simulators to aid knowledge retention, you will be well-equipped to pass the AgilePM Foundation exam.

We expect that it will take about 20 hours to complete the full course and sit the exam. Because each person learns at a different pace, some students may require more time, others less time.

What is AgilePM?
AgilePM is the certification developed by the APMG in conjunction with the Agile Business Consortium. It’s based upon the DSDM Agile Project Framework.
DSDM originated in 1994 as an agile project delivery framework in the software industry. DSDM was one of the founders of the agile manifesto and therefore has a strong pedigree amongst the agile community.
