Hello All,
I'm planning to give PMI-ACP in coming months. Any leads on preparation/courses/practice tests ? .I do have fair understanding of Agile ( Kanban/Scrum) as I use them on daily basis in my current projects.
I really appreciate your insights . Saving Changes...
Since you have the necessary hands-on experience, my suggestion would be to get a self-study guide (e.g. Mike Griffiths', Andy Crowe's) rather than taking a formal course. Both of those guides include practice questions to help you get ready.
You might also wish to review PMI's Agile Practice Guide to ensure that there is a consistent understanding of key concepts given that the implementation of frameworks such as Kanban or Scrum can result in different interpretations than what PMI might have.

For some reason I’m unable to reply to your original post, so responding here… For PMI-ACP aspirants who already meet the minimum requirements to apply, my approach was to purchase a PMI-ACP prep course on the Udemy MOOC to achieve the required PDUs. Based on the high volume of 5 star reviews and comments I chose a discounted Udemy course from Joseph Phillips "PMI-ACP Exam Prep for the PMBOK 6 - 21 PDUs". To focus the agile mindset I did lots of reading around the subject – the Internet has a plethora of info on Agile mindset and Agile SDLC methods (scrum.org / PMI being reputable resources). I bought Mike Cohn’s book - Agile Estimating and Planning (used as a reference – I didn’t read it all). It’s a practical resource. N.B. I did NOT read Mike Griffiths’ well known exam prep book. I completed 1000 of the 1250 questions of the Udemy course “PMI ACP Agile Certified Practitioner Practice Exam 1500 Q&A” (curated by Juilee Joglekar). It was helpful to identify my weak spots and brush up on them. I passed with Above Target in 6 of the 7 domains. Enjoy leaning, get the preparation in and good luck!

Joseph Philips have some good courses on Udemy related to PMI-ACP for very affordable prices.
Good Luck.
