Obtaining the qualification
There are 2 levels to this qualification; Foundation and Practitioner. The first 3 days cover the syllabus and exam for the Foundation level. The exam consists of a 1 hour, closed-book, multiple-choice paper, with 60 questions. The pass mark is 50%.

Candidates who undertake the Practitioner level will build on the knowledge gained through the Foundation level, working towards an exam on the afternoon of the 4th day. By this time candidates will have had an opportunity to tackle sample exam questions and revisit any areas of the syllabus where they had queries. The 2 hour Practitioner exam is in the ‘Objective Testing’ multiple choice format, split into 4 main areas, each offering 15 marks. This exam is open-book, but restricted to the Agile Project Management Handbook only, and the pass mark is 50%.

Candidates who have passed the Agile Management Practitioner qualification exam can put Agile Project Management Practitioner on their business cards.

Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for taking this course, but it is not possible to progress to the Practitioner level until either the Foundation exam has been passed, or one of the following DSDM certificates is held:
