AgileDS® Foundation Virtual

Our virtual courses give you all the benefits and interactivity of classroom learning, but from the comfort of your own home.

Course overview

About the course

Agile Digital Services (AgileDS) provides a consistent approach, common language and a skilled workforce for the successful design, delivery and evolution of digital service. The AgileDS guidance is aligned to the Service Manual of Government Digital Service, the UK Government’s department responsible for digital transformation.

By the end of the Foundation-level qualification you should have sufficient knowledge and understanding of the Agile Digital Services guidance
to be able to recognise and distinguish between the key elements of the approach.
