PMI-ACP® Boot Camp: the agile certification that travels with you.

For practitioners leading iterative work in cyber, software, product, and innovation. The PMI-ACP validates agile expertise across Scrum, Kanban, Lean, XP, and hybrid delivery.

Which one is right for you?

PMI-ACP is the agile specialty, and a strong second credential once you have your footing. For most people, PMP is the foundation employers ask for. Newer to project management? CAPM is the starting point. Directing whole programs? That is PgMP.

Who it's for

For the people leading iterative work.

Scrum Masters, product owners, agile coaches, and anyone leading work in sprints and iterations, especially in cyber, software, and innovation cells. If agile is how your team already delivers, the PMI-ACP makes that expertise official.

Do you qualify?

The PMI-ACP asks for a mix of experience and training:

  • A secondary education (high school diploma, GED, or the global equivalent)
  • General project experience, plus hands-on experience working on agile teams
  • Agile training hours, which this boot camp provides

Already hold a PMP or PgMP? That satisfies the general project-experience requirement. PMI is refreshing the PMI-ACP exam in November 2026, so email info@pm4life.biz and we will confirm the current requirements for your situation.

Pairing it with another cert?

Many members pair PMI-ACP with the PMP for a foundation-plus-specialty combination. New to project management? Start with the CAPM. Not sure what fits? Tell us where you are and we will map it out.
