Looking to become PMI-ACP® Certified? Then the easily accessible PMI-ACP® Prep Video Workshop, The Agile PrepCastTM is just what you need.

SILVERADO, April 26, 2013 - The Agile PrepCastTM is released today and is aimed towards helping those who have the goal of obtaining their PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)® certification. The certification is offered by The Project Management Institute (PMI)®.

The Agile PrepCastTM at http://www.agileprepcast.com is a high-quality low-cost PMI-ACP® Exam Prep Video Workshop that you download to your smart phone, tablet, laptop, or other media device to allow for easy access even when you are on the go. Developed by project management expert Cornelius Fichtner, PMP, CSM, The Agile PrepCastTM reduces your study time because you can utilize times such as your commute to work, your lunch, or exercising to listen to easy to understand lessons anywhere you would use a smart-phone, tablet or other portable player.

“After the success of our PM PrepCastTM for the PMP® exam it was only natural for us to move forward and begin developing a similar course for the PMI-ACP®,” says Fichtner. “The PM PrepCastTM Workshop has helped nearly 23,000 students prepare for the PMP® Exam so far and we are hoping to help as many if not more students prepare for the PMI-ACP® Exam.” Concerning the creation of The Agile PrepCastTM Fichtner states, “we took our 8 years of experience in delivering podcasts and webinars for traditional PM methods, combined it with our Agile experience and created something truly remarkable: An Agile course for an Agile exam.”

The Agile PrepCastTM was developed by those who understand and use Agile principles. As Fichtner explains, “we formally introduced Agile principles in our organization 2 years ago, so what we teach is based on experience. I'd like to point out in particular, that The Agile PrepCastTM was set up and developed as an Agile project using Agile methods.”

The Agile PrepCastTM focuses on the various Agile frameworks, methods, concepts, tools & techniques necessary to know and understand to take and pass the PMI-ACP® Exam. We cover the material required to pass the PMI-ACP® Exam according to the Exam Content Outline. The lessons are in everyday English. They are interesting and engaging and are designed to help you understand the concepts not just memorize them. Understanding each concept will not only help you pass the PMI-ACP® Exam but you will retain the knowledge for real use.

Not only is The Agile PrepCastTM an easily accessible, high quality and low cost training course developed especially to help students learn the Agile concepts required to pass the PMI-ACP Exam, the course also qualifies for the 21 contact hours needed to apply for the exam. OSP International LLC, the creator of The Agile PrepCastTM, is a PMI Registered Education Provider (R.E.P.).
