I have my PMP, and I want to learn more about Lean/Agile frameworks/methodologies. I'm a bit confused and overwhelmed by the options just through PMI. For someone not well-versed in Lean or Agile that wants to get training that covers a fairly broad range, which of these would you pursue?:
PMI-ACP
DASM
DAVSC
DAC
AHPP Saving Changes...

You will not learn by getting a certification. I am PMI-ACP. It could be a very interesting certification in my personal opinion because is "generalist" certification, it covers all the topics related to agile in software including it the key methods/frameworks (while I could say that more than 80% is about to Scrum framework). DA based certifications is about Discipline Agile then is more specific because is related to DA. Saving Changes...

I highly recommend you start with PMI-ACP - It will provide you with a broad idea about Agile, Principle, Mindeset, different frameworks and methodologies.
A good book to prepare for the exam is PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book by Mike Griffiths - Excellent resource.
I'd also recommend reading PMI's Agile Practice Guide as it provides a good overview of the agile landscape. Once you've done so, you can watch one or more of the introductory videos or webinars on Disciplined Agile to decide whether that is a toolkit you'd want to learn more about.
However, as far as certification goes, make sure you get some experience leading projects using adaptive approaches first. For many PMs without this hands on experience, working as a team member within a team is a good way to "learn the ropes" before you lead them.
