    Your Netherlands Career Transformation

    How to Get PMI-ACP Certified in NetherlandsStep-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 in Netherlands, 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.

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    The PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) is PMI's globally recognised agile credential that validates your ability to apply agile practices across Scrum, Kanban, Lean, XP and TDD. It suits Scrum Masters, product owners, agile coaches, project managers and delivery leads working in agile or hybrid environments.

    General

    What is the PMI-ACP certification and who is it for?

    The PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) is PMI's globally recognised agile credential that validates your ability to apply agile practices across Scrum, Kanban, Lean, XP and TDD. It suits Scrum Masters, product owners, agile coaches, project managers and delivery leads working in agile or hybrid environments.

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

    Yes. PMI-ACP is highly valued by Dutch banks, tech firms, consultancies and high-tech manufacturers that have scaled agile as their default delivery model. Scrum Master, product owner and agile coach roles in the Netherlands command strong pay, and a recognised credential helps you stand out. Talk to a learning advisor about your path.

    What are the prerequisites for the PMI-ACP?

    PMI requires a secondary degree, 2,000 hours of general project experience within the last five years, 1,500 hours of agile project experience within the last three years, and 21 contact hours of agile training. Holders of PMP or PgMP already meet the general project experience requirement.

    How long is the PMI-ACP certification valid?

    The PMI-ACP is valid for three years from the date of certification. To maintain it, you earn 30 PDUs in agile topics within each three-year cycle and report them through PMI's Continuing Certification Requirements system.

    How is PMI-ACP different from a Scrum-only certification?

    PMI-ACP spans multiple frameworks including Scrum, Kanban, Lean, XP and TDD, whereas Scrum-only credentials cover one framework. It is also experience-backed, which makes it a broader, more rigorous validation of real agile capability for practitioners in mixed and hybrid environments.

    Pricing

    What is included in the PMI-ACP training fee?

    The training fee includes PMI-aligned courseware, 24 contact hours of instructor-led training, practice questions, mock exams, an exam simulator, downloadable resources, application guidance and learner support. The PMI exam fee is billed separately by PMI. Request a quote for current pricing.

    How much does PMI-ACP training cost in the Netherlands?

    Training fees in the Netherlands vary by format and are available on request in euros. Live online, classroom and corporate options are priced differently. Contact a learning advisor for current euro pricing and any group offers.

    Is the PMI-ACP exam fee included in the training price?

    No. PMI bills the PMI-ACP exam fee separately in USD. For reference, it is around USD 435 for PMI members and USD 495 for non-members, and prices may vary. PMI membership can reduce the exam fee and provides free resources such as the Agile Practice Guide.

    Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for delivery teams, agile release trains and departments. Ask about corporate and group pricing for a tailored quote.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    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, so there is room to retake if needed. Our training includes mock exams, practice questions and exam-readiness support to help you pass with confidence. PMI charges a re-examination fee for the second and third attempts.

    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, uses multiple-choice questions distributed across seven agile domains, and is proctored.

    What is the passing score for the PMI-ACP exam?

    PMI uses a psychometrically determined passing score and does not publish a fixed percentage. 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 online-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 period.

    Which standard is the PMI-ACP exam based on?

    The exam is based on the PMI-ACP Examination Content Outline (ECO), published January 2018, which defines seven agile domains and their tasks. It also draws on recognised agile references such as the Agile Practice Guide.

    Course Content

    Can I take PMI-ACP training as a beginner or do I need experience?

    Anyone can enrol in the training, and it starts from agile fundamentals before covering advanced techniques. To sit the exam, PMI requires agile and project experience, so the training is best suited to practitioners who already work in agile teams. We guide you on eligibility.

    What topics does the PMI-ACP training cover?

    The training covers all seven PMI-ACP domains: Agile Principles and Mindset, Value-Driven Delivery, Stakeholder Engagement, Team Performance, Adaptive Planning, Problem Detection and Resolution, and Continuous Improvement, plus practical tools and exam strategy.

    Which agile frameworks does PMI-ACP cover?

    PMI-ACP spans multiple frameworks including Scrum, Kanban, Lean, Extreme Programming (XP), Test-Driven Development (TDD), Crystal and Feature-Driven Development. This cross-framework breadth is what makes the credential versatile across delivery contexts.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams, an exam simulator and topic-wise quizzes aligned to the 120-question, three-hour format, so you can identify weak areas and build exam readiness.

    Do the training hours count toward PMI-ACP eligibility?

    Yes. The programme provides 24 contact hours of agile training, which exceeds the 21 contact hours PMI requires and fully satisfies the agile education prerequisite for the PMI-ACP application.

    Enrollment

    How soon can I start and how do I enrol?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website and join the next available batch. Choose live online, classroom or corporate training, complete payment, and you receive access to schedules, courseware and resources. See upcoming batches or talk to a learning advisor to begin.
