OVERVIEW
What the PMI-ACP® is — and why it reads differently from a framework certificate
The PMI Agile Certified Practitioner is PMI's agile credential, and the broadest one it awards. It does not test a single framework. It covers the agile approaches practitioners actually mix in delivery — Scrum, Kanban, Lean and XP among them — which is why it reads as evidence of judgement rather than of one method learned by rote.
PMI restructured the exam with its March 2026 Examination Content Outline. There are now four domains: Mindset at 28%, Leadership at 25%, Product at 19% and Delivery at 28%. Mindset and Leadership together carry more than half the paper, so more than half the exam is about how you think and how you work with people, not which ceremony happens on which day.
PMI-ACP also asks for documented experience, unlike an entry-level credential. This programme delivers the 21 contact hours of formal agile training PMI requires before you apply, teaches all four domains, and keeps coaching you through the preparation weeks that follow.

Who it's for
Who should take PMI-ACP certification training
It is written for people already working in or alongside agile teams who want a credential that covers more than one framework.
Scrum Masters and product owners
Holding a framework-specific certificate already, and wanting a credential that covers agile more widely.
Project managers moving to hybrid delivery
Running predictive projects that have started to adopt iterative practices, with no formal agile grounding.
Agile team members and delivery leads
Working in agile teams and wanting the reasoning behind the practices, not only the routine.
PMP holders adding agile evidence
An active PMP satisfies the PMI-ACP experience route on its own, so the training hours are what remains.
Managers of several agile teams
Accountable for delivery across teams that each work differently, and needing one vocabulary for all of them.
PMI-ACP REQUIREMENTS
PMI-ACP eligibility — four routes, and the training hours
A secondary school qualification, 21 hours of formal agile training, and one of four experience routes.
| Highest education | Project experience |
|---|---|
| Agile experience | 24 months of agile experience within the past 5 years |
| GAC-accredited degree | 12 months of agile experience, with a degree from a GAC-accredited programme |
| Existing agile certification | 12 months of agile experience, with a current third-party agile certification earned more than a year ago |
| Active PMP | 0 further agile experience required — an active PMP satisfies this route |
This programme provides the 21 hours, and PMI does not expire them — its own instruction is to record all training hours regardless of when they were accrued, so the certificate of completion stays valid for a later application. PMI's handbook also records project and agile team experience separately from the routes above.
Eligibility is assessed by PMI, not by ProCert. Not sure which route you qualify under? Send us your background on WhatsApp and we will tell you honestly.

WHERE PMI-ACP CANDIDATES GET CAUGHT
Most people who fail the PMI-ACP knew Scrum. The exam asked about four domains and a mixed toolkit.
- 01
Preparing for a Scrum exam, then meeting a paper that spans Kanban, Lean and XP as well.
- 02
Studying ceremonies and artefacts when Mindset and Leadership carry 53% of the marks.
- 03
Learning definitions, when the questions ask what you would do next on a real team.
- 04
Leaving the experience routes until submission, then discovering the documentation does not support the application.

I had an excellent experience with this PMP training. The course was well-structured, engaging, and covered the latest PMBOK concepts in a practical and easy-to-understand way. The trainer was knowledgeable, patient, and provided plenty of real-world examples that made the content much easier to grasp.

Great training session with clear explanations and practical examples. The trainer was knowledgeable, engaging, and encouraged participation throughout the session. I gained valuable knowledge and would highly recommend this training to others.
Rebecca Lee
Took the Project Management Professional Certificate training for 5 days. It was a great 5 days with Dr Faiz Rasool as the trainer. I learned a lot and know I am confident enough to sit for the exam. Global Master arranged the training & ensure everything went smoothly without any hiccups. For the next training, will find Global Master for sure!

The trainer was highly knowledgeable and delivered the content in a very engaging and interactive manner, making it easier to grasp even the more complex concepts. The sessions really helped me develop a clearer understanding of the PMI mindset, which is crucial for the exam.

Questions
PMI-ACP certification in Malaysia — common questions
Is PMI-ACP worth it in Malaysia?
It is the credential to hold if your work spans more than one agile approach, because it is not tied to a single framework. It also carries an experience requirement, which a one-day framework certificate does not, so it says more about what you have actually done.
What are the prerequisites for PMI-ACP?
A secondary school qualification, 21 contact hours of formal agile training, and one of four experience routes: 24 months of agile experience in the past 5 years; 12 months plus a GAC-accredited degree; 12 months plus a current third-party agile certification earned over a year ago; or an active PMP.
PMI-ACP or PSM I — which should I take?
PSM I assesses Scrum specifically and asks for no documented experience. PMI-ACP spans Scrum, Kanban, Lean and XP, and requires experience you can evidence. If your teams only run Scrum, PSM I is the closer fit. If they run a mix, or you want a PMI credential alongside a PMP, PMI-ACP is.
How many questions is the PMI-ACP exam?
120 multiple-choice questions in 180 minutes, including one 10-minute break. Since the March 2026 outline the questions are spread across four domains: Mindset 28%, Leadership 25%, Product 19% and Delivery 28%.
Do the 21 contact hours expire?
No. PMI's instruction is to record all training hours regardless of when they were accrued, so your certificate of completion stays valid for a later application.
How much does PMI-ACP cost in Malaysia in total?
Face-to-face training is RM 4,800 early-bird or RM 5,200 standard, nett with no additional SST. Live virtual training is available upon enquiry. Self-paced is USD 149 / USD 179 / USD 199 for 90 / 180 / 365 days' access. The PMI examination fee is USD 348 for members and USD 396 for non-members. An examination and PMI membership bundle is RM 2,500 and includes one year of PMI membership.
How do I keep the certification once I have it?
30 PDUs every three years, of which at least 18 must be education. That is a lighter cycle than the PMP's 60.
What happens if I fail?
You may attempt the exam up to three times within your one-year eligibility period. PMI charges a re-examination fee, which is lower than the first attempt and shown in your PMI account.
Can I sit the PMI-ACP exam online from Malaysia?
Yes. PMI offers online proctored testing alongside Pearson VUE test centres. Online requires a private room, a stable connection and a clear desk.
Is the exam voucher included?
The exam voucher is an optional add-on. You still need PMI to approve your application before you can schedule.
Can you run this in-house for our team?
Yes. Private cohorts run at your premises or ours, with scheduling built around your team. Minimum 15 participants.
