Who is this course for?
This knowledge-based certification was designed for agile coaches and aspiring coaches who have a passion for servant leadership and a desire to learn and practice facilitation, professional coaching, mentoring, and teaching in service of agile teams.
Roles such as these will all benefit tremendously by taking the Agile Team Coach certification:
- Agile Coaches
- Aspiring Agile Coaches
- Agile Project Managers
- Iteration Managers
- Scrum Masters
Prerequisites
There are no rigid prerequisites for attending this training. However, as this is an intermediate-level course for practitioners, delegates should have 6 months of agile experience. Dedicated coaching experience is not required. Instead, we will build upon the knowledge you already have working with agile teams.
Full attendance and participation are mandatory. The trainer will formally assess delegates to meet the certification criteria throughout the course. Upon successful completion, you will receive the ICAgile ICP-ACC certification.
Although it is not a formal prerequisite, we have found that this training is best for attendees after they have completed an agile foundation course (such as Scrum Foundations, Agile Fundamentals or Certified Scrum Masters or Professional Scrum Master).
This course requires a minimum attendance of 21 hours. As long as the ICP-ACC prerequisites are met, full attendance and participation will result in registration as a ICAgile Certified Professional – Agile Team Coach (ICP-ACC).
