The AgileLite Practitioner Lab · Complete Cohort Offer
You passed the exam.
This makes you impossible to interview against.
Eight live sessions inside a corporate organisation so real it will make you uncomfortable. Two AI simulators. A full software suite that tracks your growth and places you into a job. And a portfolio of eight artefacts you walk into any interview and put on the table. Certificates get you shortlisted. This gets you hired.

The gap no certification fills
A certificate proves you passed a test.
It does not prove you can do the job.
Every hiring manager in delivery knows the difference between someone who memorised the framework and someone who has stood in the room when the Product Owner vanished, the sponsor misquoted the velocity, and a critical compliance requirement landed two days before sprint close. Until now, the only way to learn that was to live it — badly, in your first role, in front of the people deciding whether to keep you. AgileLite is where you live it first, safely, and come out the other side with proof.
Everything in the cohort
The complete practitioner arsenal.
Line by line. Nothing held back.
Most programmes give you slides and a certificate. Here is the full inventory of what a single AgileLite seat actually puts in your hands — the live lab, both simulators, the entire software suite, and the portfolio. Every item below is real, built, and yours the moment you join.
Eight three-hour live sessions inside one fictional corporate organisation so detailed you will know it better than companies you have actually worked in. You are Grace Okoro, newly hired delivery manager, from minute one. Every session opens mid-crisis. At the 30-minute mark, something breaks — a resignation, an escalation, a scope grenade — with no warning. You rotate through every role at the table. This is not a course you watch. It is a world you survive.
- The case file method — you walk in already thinking
- Rotating corporate roles across all eight sessions
- The unannounced complication in every single workshop
- Honest teardown against a FTSE 250 standard
- Six live corporate characters to manage
- Chronological sequence mirroring a real programme
A live AI-powered simulation where four distinct personas — a scope-creeping Product Owner, an over-optimistic lead developer, an uninformed senior VP, and an uncompromising QA lead — challenge you across seven ceremonies. Every response you give is scored live across six competency dimensions. Between sessions, whenever you want, you run it again and again until holding the line becomes instinct. This is the flight simulator for delivery managers.
- Four AI personas, each with a real agenda
- Seven ceremonies from planning to retrospective
- Live scoring across six competency dimensions
- A personalised AI coaching report every session
- Unlimited replays — practise until it is instinct
- Available 24/7, not just in live sessions
Where the Sprint Simulator drills the individual ceremony, SprintPilot zooms out to the entire delivery lifecycle. You steer a complete programme end to end — planning, governance, stakeholder management, risk, and close-out — making the trade-off decisions a real delivery manager makes across weeks compressed into a single guided flight. Two simulators, two altitudes: one teaches you the conversation, the other teaches you the campaign.
- End-to-end programme simulation, not a single sprint
- Strategic trade-off decisions under real constraints
- Governance, RAID, and stakeholder threads combined
- Complements the Sprint Simulator's ceremony focus
- Builds the helicopter view hiring managers test for
- Yours to keep and re-fly after the programme
The complete learning environment that houses everything — session briefings, the Meridian case files, artefact templates, both simulators, your progress data and your growing portfolio, all in one place. Not a folder of PDFs. A live platform you log into throughout the programme and keep access to afterward, so the whole experience stays in one organised home you actually return to.
- Every session brief and case file in one hub
- All artefact templates ready to build in
- Both simulators embedded and launch-ready
- Your portfolio assembles itself as you go
- Cohort Slack, Notion and Miro all linked
- Retained access after the programme closes
Before your first session you complete an adaptive 24-question diagnostic across eight Agile competency dimensions. It tells you precisely where you stand, which track suits you, and it generates a personalised learning path so the whole programme bends around your specific gaps. At the end, you retake it — and the before-and-after is documented proof of exactly how far you have come.
- Adaptive questioning across eight dimensions
- A personalised learning path built for your gaps
- Track recommendation — Scrum Master or Product Owner
- Before-and-after proof of measurable growth
- Feeds directly into both simulators
- Documented evidence to show employers
Every session, every simulator run, every artefact feeds a live readiness score across six competency dimensions. You see your own trajectory climb toward the 90% placement-ready threshold, with AI coaching nudges telling you exactly what to work on next. No more wondering if you are improving. You watch it happen, measured, in real time.
- Live readiness scoring across six dimensions
- Your trajectory toward the 90% placement threshold
- AI coaching nudges on what to improve next
- Every artefact and simulator run counted
- A clear, honest picture of your progress
- The evidence base for your placement brief
This is what separates AgileLite from every course you have ever taken. When you hit placement readiness, the system generates a corporate-ready candidate brief built from your real portfolio and progress data, and matches you to hiring partners actively looking for delivery talent. Most programmes end at a certificate and wish you luck. This one ends with your name in front of employers, with the evidence to back it up.
- An AI-generated corporate candidate brief
- Matched to active hiring partners
- Your real portfolio as the evidence
- Before-and-after growth story built in
- The programme works to get you hired
- Certificates end at luck — this ends at a shortlist
Item 08 · The portfolio
Eight artefacts no certificate can replace.
By session eight you have built and own eight real corporate delivery documents — produced under live pressure, in real tools, to a standard a senior delivery manager at a FTSE 250 firm would accept. You do not walk into your next interview holding a certificate. You walk in and put these on the table.
Artefact 01
The Meridian Delivery Playbook
A complete end-to-end Agile delivery playbook for a corporate programme, built section by section across sessions one to seven.
Artefact 02
Definition of Ready & Done
Written to satisfy a development team and a resistant PMO simultaneously. Not a template — a real, defensible document.
Artefact 03
A live RAID log with escalation notes
Maintained through real programme risk events, including entries written under the pressure of a mid-exercise complication.
Artefact 04
A full stakeholder communication plan
Covering all six Meridian characters, with cadence, channel, message strategy and escalation triggers for each.
Artefact 05
A delivery health dashboard
Velocity trend, cycle time analysis, team health scores and a probabilistic delivery forecast, built from real programme data.
Artefact 06
A dual reporting pack
The same sprint reported in Agile terms for the team and governance terms for the PMO. Same data, two documents, both accurate.
Artefact 07
Programme close-out & retrospective
Structured as a formal SteerCo document and as a handover brief for an incoming delivery manager.
Artefact 08
Grace Okoro's learning log
Your personal reflection across the eight-session journey — what you would do differently. Belongs entirely to you.
Add it up honestly
What this would cost you anywhere else.
Price each piece the way the market prices it. A single corporate delivery coaching engagement runs into thousands. A recruitment placement fee alone is worth more than this entire programme. Here is the honest tally of what you are actually receiving.

The readiness guarantee
Complete all eight sessions, build your eight artefacts, and run both simulators to the placement-ready threshold. If a senior delivery manager reviews your portfolio and would not accept it as evidence of competence, we will work with you one to one until it does — at no further cost. We do not issue certificates. We stake our name on whether you are actually ready.
For Levy-Paying Employers · Growth and Skills Levy · East London & Essex
You are already paying.
Your levy is expiring unused.
Every month, a portion of your payroll above £3 million flows into a digital account and starts a 24-month countdown to expiry. AgileLite deploys that money to certify your existing project coordinators, digital analysts, and delivery staff to Level 4 — before the clock runs out.
0.5%of payroll above £3m paid in every month — whether you use it or not
24 mobefore funds expire and return to the Treasury permanently
~40%of Growth and Skills Levy funds expire unused across UK employers every year
The Growth and Skills Levy — what changed in April 2026 and what did not
In April 2026, the Apprenticeship Levy was renamed to the Growth and Skills Levy. The 0.5% collection is unchanged. The 24-month expiry is unchanged. The Level 4 apprenticeship standards your staff are eligible for — Business Analyst, Associate Project Manager, AI & Automation Practitioner — are not affected by any defunding announced for September 2026.
The urgency has not changed. Funds you paid in 24 months ago are expiring this month. Funds you are paying in today begin their own 24-month countdown immediately. Every month without a plan is money you have already paid returning to the Treasury having developed nobody.

The process
Four steps.
Your team certified. Your levy deployed.
AgileLite manages the delivery, the compliance, the evidence, and the EPA preparation. Your line managers commit approximately 45 minutes every three months.
1
20-minute call
We review your levy position and identify which staff are eligible. No commitment required.
2
Staff identified
You nominate existing staff. They continue in their roles. No backfilling required.
3
Levy pays
Funds drawn from your Growth and Skills Levy digital account. No separate budget.
4
AgileLite delivers
Eight live sessions, progress reviews, portfolio evidence, EPA preparation. Your manager: 45 minutes per quarter.
Questions we hear most often
Our staff are too busy for a training programme.
6 hours per week, delivered online around their existing schedule. No residential. No full days off. Less disruptive than one 3-day training course per year.
18 months feels like a long commitment.
The levy expires in 24 months regardless. You are not choosing between 18 months and no commitment — you are choosing between certified staff and money returning to the Treasury.
We do not have the bandwidth to manage this.
AgileLite manages delivery, progress reviews, portfolio evidence, and EPA preparation. Your line manager: 45 minutes every three months for the tripartite review. Nothing more.
Can our existing staff really be enrolled as apprentices?
Yes. Existing employees at any level can enrol on a funded standard, provided the programme develops new knowledge, skills, and behaviours — which Level 4 consistently does for coordinator and analyst roles.
We already have a training provider.
AgileLite works under Route 3 — within your existing provider's contract if you have one, or through our own APAR partnership. Either way, your levy funds the programme.
What does the qualification actually mean for our staff?
A nationally recognised Level 4 — equivalent to first year of a degree. BCS-accredited for the BA standard. A documented portfolio of real delivery practice reviewed against a FTSE 250 professional standard.
🏛️Local authorities
Digital transformation programmes, project delivery teams, data and analytics staff. High levy balances, high underutilisation. Essex CC, Newham, Tower Hamlets — we know this sector.
🏥NHS trusts
Project managers, change leads, digital delivery staff. The NHS carries some of the largest underspent levy balances in the UK. Barts, BHR, Homerton — we know this sector.
🏢Large corporates
Any organisation above £3m payroll with staff in delivery, technology, or analytical roles. If your team references Agile but was never formally trained — this is the levy vehicle that fixes it.
20 minutes. No commitment. Just the numbers.

You have the DfE contract.
We have the curriculum you are missing.
AgileLite delivers the specialist Agile and AI curriculum your BA and PM programmes reference in marketing — but do not yet deliver in practice. Under Route 3, you keep 50–60% of the funding band. We bring the curriculum, the Meridian PLC simulation, and 36 employer contacts ready to enrol.

Every provider markets Agile. None deliver it as a specialism.
A full scrape of APAR-registered providers conducted July 2026 confirmed one finding across all eight targets: Agile methodology is referenced in marketing copy for every L4 BA and APM programme in the market. It is not delivered as a dedicated, practice-based curriculum anywhere.
When an apprentice reaches EPA, assessors probe for delivery evidence — artefacts that prove the apprentice has actually run a sprint, managed a stakeholder escalation, and produced a delivery playbook under real pressure. Most L4 programmes deliver Agile theory. Experienced EPA assessors know the difference immediately. AgileLite is the practice layer your programme is missing.
Three fully mapped curricula
The standards you deliver.
The specialism you do not have yet.
All three curricula built, KSB-mapped, and EPA-ready. No build time from you. First cohort enrolled within 8 weeks of a signed subcontract.

The Meridian PLC simulation.
Eight sessions no other provider offers.
The simulation is the curriculum's competitive moat — the thing your apprentices will still reference five years into their careers, and the thing EPA assessors recognise immediately as real practice.
What your apprentices experience. What your EPA outcomes reflect.
Apprentices are embedded employees of Meridian PLC — a fictional but meticulously constructed FTSE 250 corporate. Eight live sessions unfold in chronological sequence, each opening mid-crisis. At the 30-minute mark, something breaks without warning: an unannounced stakeholder escalation, a scope grenade, a resource pulled, a board that wants answers today. Apprentices rotate through every role. Every artefact reviewed against one standard: would a senior delivery manager at a FTSE 250 firm accept this?
By session eight, every apprentice owns eight real corporate delivery documents — produced under live pressure, in real tools. These are not templates filled in during a workshop. They are evidence of practice. No provider in the APAR register delivers anything comparable. Building it from scratch takes months. Licensing it from AgileLite takes one signature.
