    What Is the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner Credential?Your Route to Multi-Framework Agile Mastery

    The PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) is the Project Management Institute's cross-framework agile credential, and PMI-ACP certification training in Botswana gives you a structured, exam-ready path to earning it. Unlike single-framework certificates, it validates your ability to apply Scrum, Kanban, Lean, Extreme Programming and Test-Driven Development across real delivery, so you stay versatile wherever your projects take you. This programme is built around the PMI-ACP Examination Content Outline (ECO) published in January 2018 and the Agile Practice Guide, so every session maps to the seven agile domains the exam tests. Across 24 contact hours of instructor-led learning you cover value-driven delivery, stakeholder engagement, adaptive planning and continuous improvement, comfortably meeting the 21 contact hours PMI requires to apply. For professionals in Gaborone and across Botswana moving into agile and hybrid delivery, the credential proves your capability to employers in banking, telecoms, mining and the public sector. Start your agile certification journey with Invensis Learning and turn hands-on experience into a globally recognised qualification.

    How to Get PMI-ACP Certified in BotswanaStep-by-Step Certification Process

    The path to Online PMI-ACP certification follows a streamlined exam-based process. After completing the required training and obtaining PMI approval, candidates proceed directly to the certification examination administered through Pearson VUE. Unlike some senior PMI credentials, PMI-ACP does not require a peer-panel review. Most candidates complete the journey from training to certification within 6–10 weeks, depending on preparation time and application processing.

    Step 1: Confirm PMI-ACP Eligibility

    Verify you meet the PMI-ACP eligibility requirements: a secondary degree (high school diploma, associate's, or global equivalent); 2,000 hours (12 months) of general project experience within the last 5 years; at least 1,500 hours (8 months) of agile project experience within the last 3 years (in addition to the general project experience); and 21 contact hours in agile practices. The agile experience can be on the same projects as the general project experience.

    Step 2: Enrol in the 3-Day PMI-ACP Training

    Choose your preferred Invensis Learning PMI-ACP cohort (3-Day Live Online Bootcamp, E-Learning, or Corporate Group Training). On enrolment you receive PMI-aligned PMI-ACP courseware, multi-framework agile workbooks (Scrum, Kanban, Lean, XP), and scenario mock-exam material covering all seven agile practitioner domains.

    Step 3: Register on the PMI Candidate Portal

    Create or sign in to your PMI account at pmi.org. PMI membership (~$139/year) is optional but reduces the PMI-ACP exam fee from ~$495 to ~$435 and gives access to the PMI Agile Practice Guide.

    Step 4: Submit the PMI-ACP Application to PMI

    Submit your application via the PMI candidate portal: document your general and agile project experience and your agile-practices training, and pay the application/exam fee (~$435 PMI member or ~$495 non-member). PMI typically processes applications within 5-10 business days. No peer-panel review is required.

    Step 5: Sit the 120-Question PMI-ACP Exam via Pearson VUE

    Once approved, you receive a one-year exam eligibility window. Book your PMI-ACP exam through Pearson VUE , online proctored from your home or office in Botswana, or at a Pearson VUE test centre. The exam is 120 multiple-choice scenario questions over 180 minutes, covering all seven agile practitioner domains.

    Step 6: Earn the PMI-ACP Credential and Plan CCR Renewal

    On passing, PMI issues your PMI-ACP digital badge and certificate. The credential is valid for three years; renew via PMI's Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) programme by earning 30 PDUs in agile-relevant content across the 3-year cycle.

    Exam

    What is the format of the PMI-ACP exam?

    The PMI-ACP exam is a closed-book, multiple-choice examination based on the PMI-ACP Examination Content Outline published in January 2018. Questions are distributed across seven agile domains and delivered online-proctored via Pearson VUE OnVUE or at a test centre.

    How many questions are on the exam and how long is it?

    The exam has 120 questions and an allotted time of three hours. It uses single-answer and multiple-answer multiple-choice questions drawn from the seven domains of the Examination Content Outline.

    What are the eligibility requirements for the PMI-ACP?

    You need a secondary degree, 2,000 hours of general project experience in the last five years, 1,500 hours of agile project experience in the last three years, and 21 contact hours of agile training. PMP or PgMP holders already meet the general project experience requirement.

    What is the passing score for the PMI-ACP exam?

    PMI uses a psychometrically determined passing score that is not published as a fixed number. Results are reported as pass or fail with domain-level feedback, so aim for broad mastery across all seven domains.

    What if I do not pass on the first attempt?

    You are permitted up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period. Our mock exams, practice questions and trainer support are designed to prepare you thoroughly so you can approach exam day with confidence.

    Course Content

    What topics does the PMI-ACP training cover?

    The training covers all seven agile domains: Agile Principles and Mindset, Value-Driven Delivery, Stakeholder Engagement, Team Performance, Adaptive Planning, Problem Detection and Resolution, and Continuous Improvement, aligned to the Examination Content Outline and the Agile Practice Guide.

    Which agile frameworks are included?

    The programme spans multiple frameworks including Scrum, Kanban, Lean, Extreme Programming (XP) and Test-Driven Development, rather than a single method. This breadth is what distinguishes the PMI-ACP from single-framework certificates.

    Do I need prior experience to take the training?

    You can enrol in the training at any level, and it is a good way to earn the 21 contact hours you need. To sit the exam, PMI requires documented general and agile project experience, which we help you plan and evidence.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions and full-length mock exams modelled on the 120-question format, plus quizzes to help you identify weak areas and build exam readiness.

    Is the courseware aligned to the current PMI-ACP standard?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the PMI-ACP Examination Content Outline published in January 2018 and PMI's Agile Practice Guide, which together form the basis of the current exam.
