    What Is the PMI-ACP Certification?Your Multi-Framework Agile Credential

    The PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) is PMI's multi-framework agile credential that proves you can apply Scrum, Kanban, Lean, Extreme Programming (XP) and Test-Driven Development across real delivery. Our PMI-ACP certification training in Portugal turns hands-on agile experience into a globally recognised qualification that employers in Lisbon, Porto and Braga actively look for. Led by PMI-accredited trainers, the programme is built around the PMI-ACP Examination Content Outline (ECO) published in January 2018, covering the seven agile domains tested in the 120-question exam. You work through value-driven delivery, stakeholder engagement, adaptive planning and continuous improvement, and complete the 21 contact hours of agile training the credential requires. It suits Scrum Masters, product owners, agile coaches, delivery leads and project managers moving into iterative delivery. With Portugal's nearshore and product sectors scaling fast, certified agile practitioners are in short supply.

    How to Get PMI-ACP Certified in PortugalStep-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 Portugal, 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-ACP is PMI's agile practitioner credential that validates skill across multiple frameworks including Scrum, Kanban, Lean, XP and TDD. It suits Scrum Masters, product owners, agile coaches, delivery leads and project managers working in iterative delivery in Portugal.

    General

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

    The PMI-ACP is PMI's agile practitioner credential that validates skill across multiple frameworks including Scrum, Kanban, Lean, XP and TDD. It suits Scrum Masters, product owners, agile coaches, delivery leads and project managers working in iterative delivery in Portugal.

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

    Yes. PMI-ACP proves multi-framework agile capability that nearshore, fintech and product employers actively seek. Agile roles in Portugal are well paid, with agile project managers averaging around EUR 61,000 and senior agile coaches in Lisbon reaching EUR 82,000. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your path.

    What are the prerequisites for the PMI-ACP?

    You need a secondary degree, 2,000 hours of general project experience within the last 5 years, 1,500 hours of agile project experience within the last 3 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 valid and how do I renew it?

    The PMI-ACP is valid for three years. 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 is framework-agnostic, spanning Scrum, Kanban, Lean, XP, TDD, Crystal and FDD, and requires documented agile experience. Scrum-only credentials cover a single framework and often have no experience prerequisite, which makes PMI-ACP broader and more experience-backed.

    Pricing

    What is included in the PMI-ACP training fee?

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

    How much does PMI-ACP training cost in Portugal?

    Training pricing in Portugal is available on request and varies by format, whether live virtual, classroom or corporate group training. The PMI exam fee is charged separately in USD. Contact us for a tailored quote for your chosen format.

    How much is the PMI-ACP exam fee?

    For reference, PMI lists the exam at around USD 435 for members and USD 495 for non-members; actual fees may vary, so confirm current pricing at pmi.org. PMI membership is around USD 139 per year and can lower the exam cost while giving access to free resources.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing for teams?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for product squads, delivery teams and transformation offices across Portugal. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a tailored quote.

    What payment methods and instalment 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 is the format of the PMI-ACP exam?

    The PMI-ACP exam is a closed-book, multiple-choice examination based on the PMI-ACP Examination Content Outline published in January 2018. It has 120 questions distributed across seven agile domains and lasts three hours.

    How many questions are on the PMI-ACP exam and how long is it?

    The exam has 120 questions and an allotted time of three hours. Questions are distributed across the seven agile domains defined in the Examination Content Outline, from agile principles and mindset to continuous improvement.

    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.

    How many attempts do I get if I do not pass?

    You get up to three attempts within the one-year eligibility period that starts when your application is approved. Reexamination fees apply to the second and third attempts, so confirm the current amounts at pmi.org.

    Where can I sit the PMI-ACP exam in Portugal?

    You can take the exam online through Pearson VUE's OnVUE proctoring from home or office, or at a Pearson VUE test centre. Scheduling is done through PMI's portal or the Pearson VUE website within your eligibility window.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the PMI-ACP training?

    You will learn to apply agile principles, value-driven delivery, stakeholder engagement, team performance, adaptive planning, problem detection and continuous improvement, the seven domains of the PMI-ACP Examination Content Outline, across Scrum, Kanban, Lean, XP and TDD.

    Which agile frameworks does the course cover?

    The course covers multiple frameworks including Scrum, Kanban, Lean, Extreme Programming (XP), Test-Driven Development (TDD), Crystal and Feature-Driven Development (FDD), reflecting the multi-framework scope of the PMI-ACP credential.

    Does the training meet the 21 contact hours requirement?

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

    Is the courseware aligned with the current PMI-ACP syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is mapped to the PMI-ACP Examination Content Outline published in January 2018, which remains the current outline, along with the Agile Practice Guide and other recognised agile references on PMI's reference list.

    Are practice questions and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams and topic-wise quizzes modelled on the 120-question format, so you can identify weak domains and build readiness before exam day.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in the PMI-ACP course?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete payment, and you will receive access to schedules, courseware and learning resources. Talk to a learning advisor if you would like help choosing.

    What training formats are available in Portugal?

    We offer online (live virtual) instructor-led training, classroom training, self-paced e-learning and customised corporate group training, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule and learning style.

    Do I need agile experience before I enrol?

    No. Anyone can enrol in the training to build knowledge and earn contact hours. To sit the PMI-ACP exam, however, PMI requires documented general and agile project experience alongside the 21 contact hours of training.

    Can I reschedule or transfer to another batch?

    Yes. Flexi options let you reschedule or transfer to another batch, and selected plans let you attend the training twice. Contact support to arrange this.

    What is the refund or cancellation policy?

    Refunds and cancellations are handled per our published policy, and selected plans include a money-back guarantee. Reach out to our team for the details that apply to your enrolment.
