The agile certification landscape is broken. Here's how we fixed it.

The Old Way Agile Academy
  • Cramming for exams that don't translate to work.
  • Live trainings or self-paced e-learning, both with real practice and application.
  • Paying renewal fees every two years.
  • One fair investment with lifetime validity, no renewals.
  • Certificates that are just paper, not proof of growth.
  • Credentials that reflect applied learning and outcomes.
  • Workshops that fade and create silos.
  • Ongoing enablement through e‑learning, coaching, and community.
  • Limited to single frameworks or specific providers.
  • Complete agile landscape coverage under one roof, not just single frameworks.
  • Get certified, then get forgotten — no ongoing relationship or support.
  • Lifetime relationship that supports your growth beyond certification.

You deserve credentials that match your growth

Sohrab Salimi

For years I've watched learners transform their work with agile principles, but the credentials we issued felt like paperwork, not real growth.

So we built Certified by Agile Academy. Where credentials reflect high qualilty learning, real application, and measurable impact. Everything under one roof.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike traditional certification providers that focus on single frameworks with renewal fees, we offer lifetime validity across the entire agile landscape. Scrum.org charges over $200 just to take a test with no training or support. Scrum Alliance requires costly renewals every two years that add up fast. With Certified by Agile Academy, you invest once and keep your credential for life. You get comprehensive training (live or online), unlimited test retakes, ongoing coaching support, and access to our learning community. Plus, we cover the full spectrum of agile practices — not just Scrum — so you develop broader, more applicable skills.

Yes, and recognition is growing as more organizations discover the value of our comprehensive approach. Unlike paper certificates that test memorization, our credentials prove real-world application through evidence-based assessments. Many employers are moving beyond asking for specific certification brands to evaluating actual agile competency. Our three-level system (Understand → Apply → Teach) provides clear evidence of capability progression that hiring managers can trust. As more of our certified professionals demonstrate measurable impact in their roles, employer recognition continues to expand.

Absolutely. You can complete your entire certification journey through our self-paced e-learning platform, from Level 1 through Level 3. Online learners get the same comprehensive experience: lifetime course access, AI coaching support, community interaction, and evidence-based assessments. If you prefer live interaction, we also offer remote and on-site training options. Both paths lead to the same lifetime certification with ongoing support.

Our certification follows natural learning progression: Level 1 (Understand) builds solid foundations through comprehensive training in core concepts and principles. Level 2 (Apply) focuses on hands-on practice — you learn to implement agile practices in real situations, work with actual cases, and get feedback from peers and coaches. Level 3 (Teach) develops your ability to enable others through facilitation skills, coaching techniques, and learning how to create lasting change in teams. Each level includes practical training, real-world application, and ongoing support. You can start where your experience matches: new to agile? Begin with Level 1. Already practicing? Jump to Level 2. Ready to coach others? Start at Level 3.

Every live training becomes a lifetime learning resource: the workshop itself + lifetime access to the corresponding online course + one year of our complete e-learning platform + one year of Henrik (our AI Agile Coach) + lifetime community access. This means your learning continues long after the workshop ends. You can revisit concepts, explore related topics, get coaching support, and stay connected with fellow learners — turning a single event into sustained capability building.

Our pricing reflects the lifetime value you receive. While traditional certifications seem cheaper upfront, renewal fees quickly add up. A Scrum Alliance CSM costs hundreds initially, then renewal fees every two years for life. With us, you pay once and own your credential forever. The exact investment depends on your chosen path (self-study vs. live training) and level, but there are never renewal fees, hidden costs, or forced re-certifications.

Failure isn't really possible in our system because learning is the goal, not gatekeeping. Level 1 tests offer unlimited retakes, so you can work with our AI coach on areas you missed, then try again. For Levels 2 and 3, we provide feedback on your submissions and guide you toward improvement rather than simply rejecting your work. This approach reduces anxiety and focuses on genuine skill development rather than one-shot testing pressure.

Not at all. Level 1 (Understand) is designed for complete beginners who want solid foundations in agile concepts and terminology. Our learning materials start from the basics and build systematically. If you already have agile experience, you can jump to Level 2 (Apply) or Level 3 (Teach) based on your background. We'll help you find the right starting point during enrollment.

We cover the complete agile landscape under one roof: Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, Design Thinking, OKRs, agile leadership, team dynamics, and more. Rather than limiting you to a single framework, we help you understand when and how to apply different practices based on your context. This comprehensive approach means you develop adaptable skills rather than rigid adherence to one methodology, making you more valuable and effective in diverse situations.

Absolutely. We specialize in scaling certification across teams and entire organizations. Our Campus solution provides e-learning at scale so teams learn together with consistent practices and shared language. Organizations can choose from live group training, blended learning paths, or self-paced options that fit different learning preferences and schedules. The real value comes from building internal champions who reach Level 3 (Teach) — these certified coaches multiply impact by enabling others long after initial training ends. This creates sustainable capability growth and reduces dependency on external trainers while ensuring org-wide consistency in agile practices.

Certification is just the beginning of your relationship with us. You get lifetime access to your course materials, our learning community, and regular updates as practices evolve. Live training participants also receive one year of AI coaching support and platform access. Our goal is to support your continuous growth, not just issue a certificate and disappear. You'll have ongoing resources for refreshing knowledge, exploring new topics, and connecting with fellow agile practitioners worldwide.
