Take control of your Agile career: We've worked closely with the Agile Academy to develop a comprehensive Agile curriculum. Covering so much more than just “Scrum” or “Lean” approaches, these courses are ideal for the Agile curious right through to the seasoned Agilista. 

What's more, Software Education is an accredited training provider for the International Consortium for Agile (ICAgile). The Agile Fundamentals course is an ICAgile accredited course where participants can become Certified ICAgile Professionals.

There are also courses designed for business professionals and IT management such as Taste of Agile and Agile for Executives (course available in 2013), enabling organisational understanding from the outset.

And because Agile software development requires quite a cultural shift for most organisations, you can get Agile coaching and support from us - delivered by Agile experts with practical experience implementing Agile methodologies and helping our customers overcome many of the challenges associated with major organisational change. In-house options are available for the Agile range of courses.
