Overview
QA Total Learning™ is our newest and most effective way to learn.
Combining the best of digital and live learning, with access to world-class industry experts, we focus on ensuring you can apply your learning to help drive impactful results in your workplace. What's more, our digital platform gives you the tools to track your progress and manage your own learning.
This course is for existing and aspiring project managers looking to develop their skills and knowledge and earn an industry best practice qualification in Agile Project Management.
PRINCE2 Agile is the world’s most complete project management solution, combining the flexibility and responsiveness of Agile with the clearly defined framework of PRINCE2. The new best practice guidance shows how this compatibility can be exploited by organisations harnessing both PRINCE2 and Agile, equipping them with the required skills and processes to successfully deliver projects to meet customer requirements in today’s fast-paced and rapidly changing business environments.
Learners may be preparing to transition from a project support role, or a non-project focused role into a project management position. Alternatively, they could be experienced project managers looking to prove their skills, gain a deeper understanding of Agile practices, and enhance their project credentials by gaining the PRINCE2 Agile® Practitioner certification.
In this Total Learning course, learners will benefit from both a Digital stage and a Live event to gain the best possible preparation to pass the PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner examination.
The 2-day virtual Live event focuses on deepening learners’ understanding of the key topics and involves feedback sessions on exam technique, aligning to the question types in the PRINCE2 Agile exams. Building on Foundation knowledge, this Practitioner course will delve deeper into the Practitioner-level content and exam techniques to enable learners to confidently progress on to the Practitioner exam.
