Agile is not what you do, Agile is what you become! An introduction to the essentials of Agile Scrum as a delivery method. The same learning objectives as used in central government & public sector digital delivery projects. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agile is not what you do, Agile is what you become! Since 2012, all government departments have been required to use the Agile approach to project management, to build and run new digital services. As you begin your Agile journey, one of your first challenges will be understanding the rules and roles that support Agile delivery, some of the most frequently asked questions are "Which Agile framework is applicable to our business operating model?" or, "Is the Project Manager role equivalent to that of theProduct Owner?" and, "What does a Scrum Master do?" A strong corporate culture not accustomed to the Agile mindset can also be a difficult environment in which to implement Agile methods.  In some cases, the company’s culture and practices may reward non-Agile milestones while inadvertently discouraging Agile success. This intensive two-day training course combines PowerPoint presentations, informal discussions and practical exercises to introduce you to Agile Scrum as a Delivery Method, without the impending pressure of having to pass a formal certification examination. Previous experience of Agile delivery is not a pre-requisite to attending this course, although it is assumed delegates have previously attended the Primer course, or have some understanding of Agile Scrum terms and practices. This course, designed by Agile Scrum practitioners and coaches with specialist experience of working on GDS (Government Digital Service) Service Standards compliant government and public sector projects has been accredited by The CPD Certification Service and is now available outside its usual central government and public sector digital delivery setting. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Who this course is for Service and Programme Managers If you are a Service Manager or Programm Manager who wants to explore the benefits of transitioning to Agile ways of working and want to understand how your existing business processes and resource landscape will fit into an Agile delivery model, then this course aims to provide you with enough information to enable you to make an informed decision. Career ambitions If you are new to Agile and your intention is to pursue a career either as an Agile Scrum Master or Agile Product Owner, you will hopefully be provided with enough knowledge to enable you to determine which role best suits your Agile career ambitions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frequently Asked Questions How this course differs from other Agile courses Delegates will learn the 'How', not just the 'What'! This course has been designed by highly experienced Agile practitioners and coaches with specialist real-life experience of working on GDS (Government Digital Service) Service Design Standard projects.

I will receive my certificate as soon as I have completed the course You will initially receive an Assessment Completion report after completing the assessment. The report details the certification status: 'Pass' or 'Fail', and includes information on which questions were answered incorrectly. Your certificate is issued by the CPD Certification Service approximately four-to six-weeks after successfully completing and passing the C-ASDM Certification Assessment. A CPD certification is recognised by employers Yes! CPD certification is recognised by private and public sector employers, and in central government departments as a valuable way to evaluate the skills of an individual, and the quality of the learning activities. Listing your CPD certification as well as the number of CPD Points you have achieved on your CV is essentially showcasing your achievements in continuing your professional development. One CPD Point is equivalent to an hour of training CPD points are units that quantify time, and the quality of learning and development activities. Delegates will earn 3 CPD Points upon successful completion of the C-ASDM Certification Assessment or 13 CPD Points after completing the two-day course. My CPD certificate will expire after three years Your certificate will not expire however, best practice suggests a renewal after three years.

The UK CAA Commercial Pilot's Licence (CPL(H)) If you want to fly professionally as a career, you will need a Commercial Pilot’s Licence (CPL (H)). This is the standard professional licence which can only be taken at Approved Flight Training Organisations like Heliflight.  Heliflight offers a modular flight training approach to obtaining a CPL (H) that helps you to train at your own pace and manage your finances. Before you start training for your CPL, you will need to hold a PPL (H), issued in accordance with Annex 1 to the Chicago convention and have logged 155 hours of helicopter flying including 50 hours PIC of which 10 hours must be cross-country. You will also be studying a range of theory in greater depth than for your PPL. This study can be done at home in your own time on a distance learning course.  Heliflight will guide on where best to complete this ground school. There is also a compulsory ground school part of the course that lasts three weeks in total. This will also give you the opportunity to make friends with fellow pilots as you work towards passing your theoretical exams. These exams must be passed prior to taking your Skills test, but Heliflight recommends that they are passed prior to commencing your flight training. The theoretical knowledge exams cover the following subjects: - • Air law • Meteorology • Aircraft general knowledge airframe/systems/powerplant • General navigation • Aircraft general knowledge - instrumentation • Radio navigation • Mass and balance • Operational procedures • Performance • Principles of flight • Flight planning and monitoring • Visual flight rules (VFR) communications • Human performance      The flight training will comprise of at least 30 hours of dual flight instruction, including 10 hours of instrument instruction and 20 hours of visual flight instruction. Your commercial flying course will hone the flying skills you developed on your PPL and build upon them. You’ll become adept at emergency procedures including practicing landing a helicopter without power. You will also need to complete at least 5 hours of night flight instruction, comprising 3 hours of dual instruction, which will include at least 1 hour of cross-country navigation and 5 solo night circuits, each including a take-off and landing.  You will not need to complete the additional night flight instruction if you already hold a night rating (helicopter). At the end of training, and when all requirements for licence issue have been met, you will need to take a skill test with an examiner. If you would like further information about the CPL (H) course and the other training available from Heliflight, please contact us. We’ll be happy to help. For current prices please call us.
