Prerequisites
There are no rigid prerequisites for attending this training. However, we recommend that delegates have 6 months of Agile experience. Dedicated coaching experience is not required. We will build upon the experience 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-ATF 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, Certified Scrum Masters or Professional Scrum Master).
This course requires a minimum attendance of 14 hours. As long as the ICP-ATF prerequisites are met, full attendance and participation will result in registration as an IC Agile Certified Professional – Agile Team Facilitator (ICP-ATF).
What do I need?
Online Courses
- We require delegates to use a laptop, computer or device with a large screen to ensure they can participate without the limitations of using a smaller device.
- A reliable internet connection is vital.
