    What Is the PMI-ACP Credential?Your Agile Career Advantage

    The PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) is the Project Management Institute's globally recognised agile certification, and PMI-ACP certification training in Costa Rica prepares you to lead delivery across multiple agile approaches rather than a single framework. The credential spans Scrum, Kanban, Lean, Extreme Programming (XP) and Test-Driven Development, proving the versatility that employers value. The programme is aligned to the PMI-ACP Examination Content Outline (ECO), the current January 2018 outline that defines the seven agile domains tested in the 120-question, closed-book exam. You cover agile principles and mindset, value-driven delivery, stakeholder engagement, team performance, adaptive planning, problem detection and continuous improvement, and complete 24 contact hours that fully satisfy PMI's 21-hour training prerequisite. For agile practitioners in Costa Rica's nearshore, global business services and software sectors, PMI-ACP is a clear way to formalise cross-framework experience and stand out. Delivered in live online and classroom formats, the training moves you from study to certified with structured practice and expert guidance. Start your journey with Invensis Learning.

    How to Get PMI-ACP Certified in Costa RicaStep-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 Costa Rica, 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.

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the payment option that suits you.

    Exam

    What if I do not pass the PMI-ACP exam the first time?

    You have up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period. Our training includes mock exams and scenario practice to build readiness, and our team can guide your revision so you approach a retake with confidence. Reexamination fees apply per PMI policy.

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

    The PMI-ACP exam has 120 questions and a three-hour allotted time. It is closed book and proctored, with single-answer and multiple-answer multiple-choice questions distributed across the seven agile domains of the Examination Content Outline.

    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 of Above Target, Target, Below Target or Needs Improvement, so aim for broad mastery across all seven domains.

    Which standard is the PMI-ACP exam based on?

    The exam is based on the PMI-ACP Examination Content Outline, the current January 2018 outline that defines seven agile domains. It draws on a broad set of agile references, including the Agile Practice Guide and the Scrum Guide, rather than a single framework.

    Where can I take the PMI-ACP exam?

    You can sit the exam online through Pearson VUE's OnVUE proctored system or at a Pearson VUE test centre. Scheduling is done through PMI's portal or the Pearson VUE website within your one-year eligibility window.

    Course Content

    Do I need prior agile experience to take the training?

    You can join the training at any experience level, and it is beginner-friendly in its structure. To sit the exam, however, PMI requires documented general project and agile experience plus 21 contact hours of training, which this programme provides in full with 24 hours.

    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, plus exam strategy and practice.

    Which agile frameworks does PMI-ACP cover?

    PMI-ACP spans multiple frameworks including Scrum, Kanban, Lean, Extreme Programming (XP), Test-Driven Development, Crystal and Feature-Driven Development. This multi-framework scope is what sets it apart from single-framework credentials.

    Does the training meet the 21 contact-hour requirement?

    Yes. The programme delivers 24 contact hours of agile training, which exceeds and fully satisfies PMI's 21 contact-hour education prerequisite for the PMI-ACP application.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions mapped to the 120-question exam format, full-length mock exams, quizzes, and reference guidance on the Examination Content Outline and Agile Practice Guide to support your revision.
