Thanks to the interactive instruction, excellent training materials and practice exams from SmartPath, I was able to pass the ACP exam on the first attempt. I would highly recommend the SmartPath ACP Exam Prep Course to anyone serious about wanting to pass the ACP exam and needing to obtain the 21 contact hours of training in agile practices. Thank you so much.
Please find attached - a copy of my ACP Exam Results Report. I earned an Above Target in all domain areas, except Adaptive Planning." - Jim R., PMI-ACP
"Hi Nereda,
The test was a little different from the practice tests. The practice tests are focused on the theoretical knowledge, while each single question on the actual test was a practical scenario where you had to respond on how you would handle it. Otherwise it was not hard. I passed with “above targets” in all sections. Thanks for all your help and support! Great training and it was easy to deal with everything!" - Diana R., PMI-ACP - Passed 6-17-17

"I just finished my exam today with a pass (with a mix of Moderately Proficients and Proficient results), and I was able to do it with a concussion (which I received from hockey a week ago). The exam was pretty basic, which I had no complaints. (Note: it took like 7 days to be approved to take the exam, just in case you guys are capturing some metrics). Thanks again for the great class." Christian M., PMI-ACP - passed 2-2-17

"Most of my team has been through CSM training, which at least has helped them understand the process. I did mine in April, since I was told to go, but I think I got a better overall understanding from this course (PMI-ACP Certification with Prep), because nothing but Scrum is discussed (in CSM) and that does not work for all teams. I know people look for it, like the PMP, but I think that is primarily because that's [a]recruiter code for agile, not because they understand it." Liz H.,PMI-ACP - Passed 12-24-13
PMI-ACP Cert: "Well, I passed today, but with only Moderately Proficient in both categories, which is to be expected I guess as I still have a lot to learn in application of agile. . .
