AgileAsia Pte Ltd is excited to reveal its partnership with the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) to offer a Professional Certificate in Agile Project & Product Management. This collaboration is designed to elevate professionals' skills in Agile methodologies by combining AgileAsia's hands-on training with SUTD's renowned academic standards, providing a comprehensive educational experience.
This partnership marks a major advancement in Agile training and certification, merging AgileAsia's practical, real-world insights with SUTD's cutting-edge design and technology education. Participants who complete the Certified Scrum Master (CSM) and Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) courses will receive the SUTD Professional Certificate in Agile Project & Product Management.
Offered by SUTD, the certification involves completing two essential courses: a two-day Certified Scrum Master (CSM) course and a two-day Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) course. Individuals who already possess one or both certifications from Scrum Alliance can opt to take either the CSM or CSPO course to qualify for the Professional Certificate.
The courses will be taught by Sam Bowtell, who brings 32 years of experience in Agile, including roles as Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Programme Lead. As a Certified Scrum Trainer, Sam is renowned for infusing energy, care, and fun into his coaching. Participants will benefit from SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) funding, which covers 70% to 90% of the course fees for Singapore citizens, Permanent Residents, and SMEs. This makes the courses highly accessible, with subsidized fees ranging from $254.00 to $654.00, which can be paid using SkillsFuture credits.
The curriculum emphasizes real-world scenario-based learning, providing participants with practical insights into Agile methods for estimation, planning, adapting to evolving requirements, and managing project risks. The courses also include post-completion support to ensure ongoing learning and foster a supportive community. This strategic partnership with SUTD bolsters AgileAsia’s outreach, attracting professionals seeking credible Scrum certification programs. SUTD’s well-established reputation guarantees that these courses adhere to industry standards, which is essential for upholding the quality of the credentials.
Looking ahead, AgileAsia and SUTD plan to introduce stackable credential systems, enabling learners to earn micro-credentials that count towards academic programs. The curriculum will be regularly updated to address industry trends, ensuring the courses stay current. Upcoming programs in GenAI and Sustainability are also being developed, demonstrating the partnership’s dedication to equipping more industry professionals with relevant skills.
