With our Agile Project Manager training, you will grow in your leadership skills and gain the tools to manage development, change, and business acumen!

Learn Agile Project Management

This program provides you with a solid foundation in agile methods and plan-driven project management. You will learn how to lead projects, teams, and development. You will also be able to facilitate workshops, both digitally and in person. You will become the driving force behind processes at your future workplace! Throughout the program, you will continuously work in teams on relevant cases, where participants take turns leading the team.

The Agile Project Manager program is aimed at you who:

  Want to work with agile project management, which is primarily used in IT where the role is rapidly growing

  Want to be responsible for evaluating processes and updating workflows based on projects and needs

 

Strong demand for new competence

The demand for flexible and modern leadership in a rapidly changing job market is continuously growing. In the IT & Telecom sectors alone, it is estimated that at least 70,000 people will need to be hired in the coming years (according to the Swedish IT & Telecom companies’ report ”The IT Skills Shortage”), with project management being one of the most sought-after skills. This program meets the recruitment needs of the job market and provides the competence profile you need to develop in an exciting and dynamic leadership role. Our lecturers are some of the most knowledgeable in their industries, specializing in agile methodology, SCRUM, business development, leadership, and project models.

A program that opens up multiple career opportunities

This profession is rapidly growing, and the skills are needed not only in IT but also in other industries and the public sector. Examples of job titles and roles you may pursue after graduation include;

  • Agile Project Manager

Behörighet

You are welcome to apply if you have a high school diploma with:

  • English 6
  • Swedish 2
  • And at least one (1) year of related work experience in project management and/or data/IT

or equivalent qualifications.

Equivalent knowledge can be acquired in many different ways; you may have pursued further studies or gained comparable knowledge through work experience. In that case, you may be able to apply based on real competence. It is important that you can provide evidence of how you acquired the equivalent knowledge.

 

What counts as ”one year of related work experience”?

Regarding the one-year related work experience, you may already have held a position in your current role where you led people in your daily work and now want to learn more about agile methodologies. Alternatively, you may already have some IT knowledge and are somewhat familiar with the methodologies, but want to learn more about leadership.

Examples of fields and job titles that meet the requirements for work experience include:

  • Project Manager, Product Manager, Project Coordinator
  • Team Leader, Group Leader, Manager, Supervisor, Site Manager, Consultant Manager
  • IT Developer, System Administrator, IT Technician, IT Coordinator
  • Business Development, Digitalization, Change Management
  • Marketing Coordinator, Marketing Analyst, UX Designer, Customer Success

Please note that the above are only examples. If you have equivalent experience that you believe is relevant to the program, you are welcome to submit your application for evaluation.

Work Certificate

When work experience is part of the eligibility requirement, it is important to be able to verify your experience, for example, through a work certificate.

To be accepted and registered, the certificate must clearly include:

  • The employment period (start and end dates)
  • Employment scope (percentage)
  • Job responsibilities

The certificate must also include your personal information and be dated and signed by the employer.

Please note that an employment contract cannot be used to verify work experience.

Want to know more about eligibility?

If you do not have grades in Swedish, English, or Mathematics, you may be offered to take an eligibility test. Read more here.

CSN

Utbildningen är CSN-berättigad. Du kontaktar själv CSN med förfrågan om studiemedel. Gå in på www.csn.se.

Så snart du har fått ditt antagningsbesked kan du ansöka om studiemedel från CSN. Behöver du intyg från skolan så kontaktar du din utbildningsledare. Skolan rapporterar löpande till CSN att du fullföljer dina studier. Du får dina YH-poäng löpande efter godkända kurser och är därigenom berättigad till fortsatt studiestöd. Om du inte fullföljer dina studier behöver du omgående meddela detta till CSN. Avtalet mellan dig och CSN är inget som skolan ansvarar för, men vi hjälper dig gärna när du behöver intyg eller har frågor. Kontakta din utbildningsledare.
