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.

General

Is the PMI-ACP worth it for agile professionals in Costa Rica?

What is the PMI-ACP certification?

The PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) is the Project Management Institute's agile credential. It validates experience across multiple frameworks including Scrum, Kanban, Lean, XP and Test-Driven Development, based on the PMI-ACP Examination Content Outline. It is globally recognised and experience-backed.

Who should take PMI-ACP training?

PMI-ACP suits Scrum Masters, product owners, agile coaches, delivery leads, developers, testers and project managers working in agile or hybrid environments. It is ideal for professionals who want to formalise and validate cross-framework agile knowledge with a recognised PMI credential.

What are the prerequisites for 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.

How long is the PMI-ACP certification valid?

PMI-ACP is valid for three years. To maintain it, you earn 30 professional development units (PDUs) in agile topics within each three-year cycle and report them through PMI's Continuing Certification Requirements system.

Pricing

What is included in the PMI-ACP training fee?

The training fee includes PMI-aligned courseware, 24 contact hours of instruction, scenario-based practice questions, mock exams, learner support and a course completion certificate. It covers everything you need to prepare for the exam. Request a quote for the current price in your format.

How much does PMI-ACP training cost in Costa Rica?

Training pricing in Costa Rica is available on request and varies by format, such as live online, classroom or corporate group training. The PMI exam fee is billed separately by PMI. Contact a learning advisor for a tailored quote.

Is the PMI exam fee included in the course price?

No. PMI bills the PMI-ACP exam fee separately in USD, with member and non-member rates. PMI membership can reduce the exam fee and provides access to resources such as the Agile Practice Guide. Confirm current fees at pmi.org before applying.

Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for delivery teams, PMOs and transformation groups. Ask about corporate pricing for a quote tailored to your team size.

What payment options are available?

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.
