    Where a PMI-ACP Credential Takes Your CareerRoles, Demand, and Pay Upside

    PMI-ACP has become a global marker of agile capability, valued by employers in IT, financial services, healthcare, consulting, and telecom that run adaptive, iterative delivery.

Demand runs from Scrum Master through agile coach and release train engineer, and here is what the market is paying right now.

    The Agile Skills Gaps Driving Demand for Certified Practitioners

    PMI-ACP is more than a credential. It is a career multiplier for agile professionals. Join practitioners who deliver value across frameworks and lead adaptive teams. Start your journey today.

    Your Agile Career Transformation

    From Agile Practitioner to Certified Agile Leader

    See the Shift the PMI-ACP Makes

    Agile hiring in 2026 rewards proof, not just years of practice. Employers increasingly separate certified agile practitioners from the rest. Here is the gap the PMI-ACP closes and where it takes you.

    How to Get PMI-ACP CertifiedStep-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, 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.

    Which agile frameworks does the PMI-ACP cover?

    For reference, the PMI exam fee is around USD 435 for PMI members and USD 495 for non-members; actual fees may vary, so confirm current pricing at pmi.org. PMI membership (about USD 139 per year) can reduce the exam cost and unlocks free resources like the Agile Practice Guide.

    No. PMI bills the PMI-ACP exam fee separately in USD. Our training fee covers instruction, courseware, and exam-prep resources; you pay PMI directly when you apply and schedule your exam.

    Exam

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

    You get up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period. Our training includes mock exams, domain-wise practice, and prep support to help you pass, and PMI charges a reduced re-examination fee for later attempts within that window.

    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 time limit. It is closed book and proctored, with questions distributed across the seven agile domains defined in 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.

    Where can I take the PMI-ACP exam?

    You can take the exam online through Pearson VUE's OnVUE proctoring or at a Pearson VUE test center worldwide. Scheduling is done through the Pearson VUE website or PMI's portal after your application is approved.

    Which standard is the PMI-ACP exam based on?

    Course Content

    Can a beginner take this PMI-ACP training?

    You can enroll in the training with basic agile familiarity, and the program builds your knowledge from principles up. To sit the exam, though, PMI requires 2,000 hours of general project experience, 1,500 hours of agile experience, and 21 contact hours of agile training, which this course provides.

    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 tools like backlogs, velocity, and retrospectives.

    Does the training satisfy the 21 contact hours PMI requires?

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

    What learning materials and practice are included?

    You receive PMI-aligned courseware, references to the Examination Content Outline and Handbook, practice questions, full-length mock exams, and topic-wise quizzes to identify weak areas and build exam readiness.

    Is the courseware aligned with the current PMI-ACP outline?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current PMI-ACP Examination Content Outline (the January 2018 ECO) and PMI's agile reference materials, so you study exactly what the exam evaluates.

    You can enroll through the Invensis Learning website and choose an upcoming live online, classroom, or self-paced schedule. Complete payment to receive access to schedules, courseware, and resources. See upcoming batches to pick a start date.
