Do Non-Certified Offerings Add Value?

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations are continually seeking ways to stay competitive and innovative. One strategic approach is to invest in skill development and knowledge expansion of their teams, especially in areas like Agile methodologies and integrating cutting-edge technologies like AI. However, the dilemma often lies in choosing between certified and non-certified training offerings.

Here's why organizations should consider leaning into non-certified training offerings, particularly for courses such as Agile & Scrum Foundations, Advancing & Scaling Agile, Agile Leadership Summit, Agile Facilitation Foundations, and Integrating AI and Agile.

Cost-Effectiveness: Non-certified training courses are generally less expensive as they are not billed per participant. This financial advantage allows organizations to train more members of their team without incurring the steep costs often associated with certified courses. By opting for non-certified training, companies can allocate their resources more efficiently, enabling a broader base of employees to acquire essential skills and knowledge.

Customization and Relevance: Unlike certified courses that adhere to a strict curriculum, non-certified training can be tailored to meet the specific needs and challenges of an organization. This means that the content, examples, and exercises can be directly related to the company's projects and processes, making the learning experience far more relevant and immediately applicable. Customization ensures that the training addresses the unique issues and goals of the organization, fostering a more engaging and impactful learning environment.

Direct Pathway to Agile Without the Fluff: Non-certified training courses can be designed to cover the same core concepts and learning objectives as their certified counterparts, but without unnecessary content that may not add value to the learner's immediate needs or the organization's objectives. This streamlined approach not only makes the learning process more efficient and effective but also prepares participants for certification should they choose to pursue it later. By focusing on the essence of the subject matter, non-certified training ensures that participants gain the necessary knowledge and skills in a more focused and time-effective manner.
