Upskilling Your PMP:
Align Your PMP with Agile and Hybrid Skills
Save 20% through 31 December 2021 with PROMO CODE “AHPP20PCT”
You already know the Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification is the global gold standard for traditional approaches. This year, the PMP® expanded to include Agile and Hybrid approaches. Now, you can easily align your PMP certification to today’s standards with Agile Hybrid Project Pro™.
Three steps to upskill with Agile and Hybrid – no application necessary:
- Complete the online, on-demand course. 6 ½ hours and 13 PDUs toward maintaining PMP certification.
- Pass the 60-question online assessment. Available on-demand, on your schedule, from any computer.
- Add the Agile Hybrid Project Pro badge to your profile. No need to renew – this credential does not expire.
