Agile Government Certification

This course is designed for public sector professionals, policymakers, digital transformation leaders, and consultants working on government reform or service design.

The choice depends on what's most important to you:

• If you value practical application and want flexibility between e-learning and live training, Certified by Agile Academy is ideal.
• If you want to focus purely on the Scrum framework, Scrum Alliance could be an option. However, be aware of the ongoing recertification costs.
• If you just want to take an exam and are willing to pay the exam fees, then Scrum.org is an alternative.

Certifications like Scrum.org are often exam-focused, meaning theoretical knowledge is sufficient. If you care more about real, applicable skills, Agile Academy offers the better approach.

• Lifetime Validity: You never need to renew your certificate or pay additional fees.
• Holistic Approach: Beyond Scrum, Agile Academy covers topics crucial for modern work practices, such as:
• OKRs (Objectives and Key Results): Goal management for teams.
• Psychological Safety: Creating a safe work environment.
• Leadership Development: Leadership skills for Agile teams.
• Our approach makes you a comprehensively trained agilist – far beyond the basics.
• Practice-Oriented: The focus is on applying what you learn directly. Our exams and assignments are designed to test and promote your practical skills – ideal for real project environments.
• Flexible Learning: Choose between e-learning and live training, depending on what better fits your schedule.
• Free Retakes: You can retake the exam as many times as needed at no additional cost.

• No Hidden Costs: Unlike ScrumAlliance or Scrum.org, we have no ongoing fees or expensive exam attempts.
• Broader Range of Topics: We go well beyond Scrum and cover modern, practice-relevant topics like OKRs, Psychological Safety, and Leadership Development.
• Practice-Oriented Certificates: Our certificates reflect your actual abilities, not just passing an exam. The goal is for you to apply your knowledge directly in real projects.
• Lifetime Validity: Through our lifetime certification, you save considerable time and money in the long run.
• Modern Learning Formats: Agile Academy offers you the flexibility to choose between live training and e-learning to optimally support your personal learning style.

Yes! Unlike many other certification bodies, Agile Academy doesn't force you to attend live training. You can prepare flexibly and independently through e-learning. However, live training is available if you prefer personal interaction.
