This list is for anyone who runs projects or wants to: first-time project leads, people whose company is moving to Agile, and candidates for the PMP, CAPM or Professional Scrum Master exams. Our catalogue lists 254 live Udemy courses with project management, PMP, CAPM, Agile or Scrum in the title. These nine are the ones we would buy for each goal. They have over 640,000 student reviews between them, every one is rated 4.5 or higher, and eight of them were updated in 2026.
Every rating, review count, length and last-update date on this page comes from our catalogue and is refreshed with it. The pros and cons are written by CourseDuck’s editors from the course syllabus and a sample of the written student reviews, and checked against both; no course pays to be on this list. Udemy prices move with its sales, so treat the price on each card as the current one, not a fixed one. Exam fees are paid to PMI or Scrum.org separately and are not included in any course.
How to pick
- You have a project to run next week: Project Management Fundamentals.
- You want the whole job, start to finish: The Project Management Course: Beginner to PROject Manager, or Deeply Practical Project Management if you want templates and PDUs.
- Your company is moving to Agile: Agile Crash Course, or Agile Fundamentals for Kanban and Scrumban too.
- You want to become a Scrum Master: Agile Scrum for Beginners + Scrum Master Certification Prep.
- You are applying for the PMP: Andrew Ramdayal’s PMP Exam Prep Course, or David McLachlan’s if you want more practice questions.
- You know the basics and want the entry-level CAPM certificate: the CAPM Exam Prep Seminar.
Start here: project management basics
1. Project Management Fundamentals
Chris Croft’s course is a quick, useful start: a 12-step method for planning a project, from defining it to the final review, built live on one real example in about 2.5 hours over 33 lectures, with 12 quizzes. The PERT diagram is made with Post-it notes and the Gantt chart in Excel, so you need no special software. It is aimed at people who have a project to run and no formal training. It has about 45,800 reviews at 4.7 and was last updated in June 2025. Reviewers call it clear and practical, and like his calm delivery. It stays introductory, skips Agile and PRINCE2, and is not exam prep.
Pros
- Builds one real project live, from defining it to the final review, in 12 steps
- Gantt chart and PERT diagram made with only Excel and Post-it notes, no special software
- Calm, clear delivery that reviewers call easy to follow and practical
- Short lectures and 12 quizzes make the 2.5 hours easy to fit in
Cons
- At 2.5 hours it stays introductory, so risk and cost topics get only a few minutes each
- Not PMP exam prep, and it skips Agile and Prince2 despite the PMP and PMI mentions
- One reviewer found the visual project plan hard to follow and got little applicable work
What students say

2. The Project Management Course: Beginner to PROject Manager
365 Careers follows one project from initiation through planning, execution, monitoring and closure, with a case study for each phase, 15 quizzes, downloadable templates, a section on Excel for project managers, an Agile and Scrum section and a newer chapter on using AI as a PM. It runs about 7.8 hours over 110 lectures, was updated in April 2026 and has about 91,900 reviews at 4.6. Reviewers praise the clear explanations and say the case study and quizzes make the ideas stick. Some found the lesson order illogical, Scrum gets only about 45 minutes, and a few disliked the quiz wording.
Pros
- Follows one project from initiation to closure, with a case study to apply each phase
- Includes 15+ templates plus a section of Excel lessons for the core PM documents
- Quizzes come with written explanations that reviewers say help the ideas stick
- Covers both Waterfall and Agile, with Scrum and an AI chapter, refreshed April 2026
Cons
- Some reviewers find the lesson order illogical and the course longer than it needs to be
- Scrum gets only about 45 minutes, and reviewers asked for more depth there
- Quiz wording draws complaints for typos and answers that feel open to opinion
What students say
Claudia Anthony RajkumarExcellent course and highly recommended to anyone delving into the world of project management. Clear, concise, and the graphics kept me motivated vs reading through endless texts. Resources provided is an added bonus! Thank you, Ivan and Team!
Anyanwu Blessing JulietThis course has truely been an eye opener for me. Even my little skill acquired as a PM, I have grabbed more knowledge in this course. It shows that project management is a very verse course. There are lot of new thi gs to learn everyday, especilally as an Agile Pm. Thank you

3. Deeply Practical Project Management (earn 16 PDUs)
William Stewart, who has managed projects for more than 30 years and holds the PMP, walks through the five stages of the PMI life cycle in about 8.8 hours over 226 lectures. One fully worked example project comes with a charter, plan, Gantt schedule and risk register, plus templates you can reuse, and 24 quizzes. It was updated in June 2026, has about 22,200 reviews at 4.6, and earns 16 PDUs for people who already hold a PMI certification. Reviewers like the short lessons and say the quizzes make it stick; a PMP holder called it a good refresher. Veterans may find it basic, and there are no practice exams.
Pros
- Quizzes after the sections help the material stick, according to several reviewers
- Worked example project with charter, risk register and Gantt, plus reusable templates
- Lessons are cut into short pieces that reviewers found easy to digest
- Updated June 2026 and earns 16 PDUs for people who already hold a PMI certification
Cons
- No practice exams, so PMP candidates still need a separate question bank
- One reviewer calls it basic common sense fundamentals, so veterans may find little new
- The IFPPM certificate comes from the instructor’s own institute, not from PMI
What students say
Thuto Larona NgwatoThis is a great course, well thought out, and as the course title states, it does offer insight into the practicality of project management.
Kimberly SimmonsThe information was presented in a very organized and clear manner. I found the repetition of key information useful for locking these element into memory.

Agile and Scrum
4. Agile Crash Course: Agile Project Management; Agile Delivery
If your workplace is switching to Agile and the sprint and backlog jargon is new, this is a short way in: about 2.8 hours over 26 lectures on user stories, stand-ups, retrospectives and kanban boards, and how Agile differs from traditional delivery. It was updated in September 2026 and has about 101,900 reviews at 4.5. Reviewers say the pictures and role plays make the ideas easy to grasp. It is orientation, not practice: reviewers asked for exercises on backlog grooming and sprint reviews, and low-star reviews call the tool demos shallow.
Pros
- Short at 2.8 hours, so a total beginner can finish it in a weekend
- Explains user stories, stand-ups, retrospectives and kanban in plain language
- Reviewers say the pictures and role plays make the ideas stick
Cons
- A few low-star reviewers call the tool demos repetitive and shallow
- Little practice: reviewers ask for grooming and sprint review exercises
- Too basic for anyone with Agile experience, and one reviewer found it beginner only
What students say
Melissa CurtisReally enjoying this course so far. It is direct, to the point, and easy to understand. Looking forward to the rest!
Ken NicolsonVery good presenter, and went over a lot of material, including looking at the pros and cons or Jira versus Microsoft Planner versus Trello.
Reviews from students, via this course's page on CourseDuck.
5. Agile Fundamentals: Including Scrum & Kanban
Jeremy Aschenbrenner and Vivek Khattri’s course goes a little further: Agile values and principles, Scrum, estimating, other Agile roles, Kanban and Scrumban, in about 4.5 hours over 84 lectures with six quizzes. It was updated in February 2026 and has about 97,200 reviews at 4.5. Reviewers find it clear and logical and like that the two presenters talk ideas through instead of reading slides. It is too basic for anyone already running sprints, and one reviewer says questions in the Q&A went unanswered.
Pros
- Six quizzes, and reviewers single out the quiz after each section
- Covers Scrum, Kanban and Scrumban in one place, plus estimating and other Agile roles
- Two presenters who talk through ideas, so it feels less like reading slides
- Only about 4.5 hours, and updated in February 2026
Cons
- Too basic for people who already work in Agile teams, per a 3-star review
- One 1-star reviewer found it long, boring and short on real-world application
- Little on people problems like unmotivated teammates; one reviewer reports unanswered Q&A
What students say
Nikhil KushwahaBoth instructors are great, concepts are clear, hands on experience and example sheets are a big help. Recommended course for all professionals out there.
Thipparti PriyankaYes, Learnt Many things about the Agile Methodology, How scrum works, what are the teams involved, who will take care of what things and importance of each step each meetings,

6. Agile Scrum for Beginners + Scrum Master Certification Prep
Valentin Despa’s course prepares beginners for the Professional Scrum Master (PSM I) exam. It is unofficial and built on the 2020 Scrum Guide, covering artifacts, events, the Scrum Team, scaling and terms like velocity and burn-down charts, with 16 quizzes and two practice tests. More than half of its 14.4 hours is one recorded live webinar, so the core lessons are shorter than the headline length. It was updated in July 2026 and has about 28,600 reviews at 4.6. Several reviewers say they passed PSM I on the first attempt. The exam fee is not included, and reviewers advise reading the Scrum Guide itself several times.
Pros
- Plain explanations with real-life examples that beginners say make the Scrum Guide easy to follow
- Sixteen quizzes and two practice tests, and reviewers say some questions resembled the real PSM I
- Several reviewers report first-attempt PSM I passes
Cons
- Unofficial, and it will not prepare anyone for the ScrumStudy SMC exam
- More than half of the 14.4 hours is one recorded live webinar, not tight lessons
- One reviewer found the time limit on written role-play exercises too short
What students say
MireiaI passed the PSM I exam on my first attempt after a few months of studying. This course does an excellent job of explaining all the key Scrum framework concepts. English is not my native language, and I was still able to understand everything clearly. Highly recommended.
Libor FuksaThis course was sufficient for me to successfully pass the PSM I exam (in addition to experience from a project where I was allocated as a tester). The course is also practical and helps not only with understanding the Scrum framework, but also with setting you on the Scrum journey.

PMP and CAPM exam prep
7. PMP Exam Prep Course 35 PDUs/Hours Updated for the 2026 Exam
Andrew Ramdayal’s PMP course is the most-reviewed PMP course in our catalogue and the highest rated on this list: about 202,000 reviews at 4.8 and roughly 654,000 students. Its 35 hours over 273 lectures double as the 35 contact hours PMI requires before you can sit the exam, with the certificate included. It was refreshed in September 2026 for the PMBOK 8th Edition, with a 30-day study plan, more than 400 exam-style questions, a section on the PMP exam mindset and a walk through the application. Reviewers who passed credit his plain explanations and workplace examples. There are few quizzes in the long process section and the single mock exam is easier than the real one, so budget for a separate question bank.
Pros
- Counts as the 35 PMI contact hours you need to apply, certificate included
- Refreshed September 2026 for the PMBOK 8th Edition, with a 30-day study plan reviewers say keeps them on track
- Ramdayal’s plain-language explanations and real examples get repeated praise from people who passed
- 400+ exam-style questions and a section on the PMP exam mindset
Cons
- The agile half is less clear about what actually matters for the PMP exam, one reviewer says
- Few quizzes in the long process section, and the single mock is easier than the real exam
- Some older lectures are theory-heavy with few visual aids
What students say
Nabihah BasraiAndrew, thank you for this amazing Udemy course (and all your other videos on YouTube, and your amazing exam prep book)! You have an amazing way of breaking down the information that makes it very easy to digest, and I learned so much in your courses. I took the updated exam a few weeks ago and passed with AT in all domains. I wore blue and celebrated with brownies and ice cream! Many thanks to...
Aswathy A RPassed PMP with 3 ATs - big thanks to Andrew Ramdayal! Initially, I was skeptical about the course, but eventually I trusted the process and relied heavily on it throughout my preparation. I depended mainly on this course along with Study Hall practice exams, and that combination was more than enough to clear the PMP exam successfully. Andrew explains the concepts in a very practical and...

8. The Best PMP Prep Course: 35 PDUs, Updated for 2026 Exam
David McLachlan’s course is the alternative if you want more practice questions: 500 of them, plus 35 contact hours, in about 24 hours over 402 lectures. The biggest block walks through the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition, Agile gets its own sections based on the Agile Practice Guide, and two short worked projects use Microsoft Project and Jira. It also suits CAPM candidates and certified PMs who need to renew. It was updated in August 2026 and has about 20,200 reviews at 4.7. Reviewers describe a calm, clear teacher and credit the practice exams; one passed the PMP on the first attempt. Some wanted more knowledge checks and real-world examples.
Pros
- Practice exams come with corrections, which reviewers say prepared them for the real test
- Calm, clear teaching that reviewers say makes dense PMBOK material easy to follow
- Covers both Waterfall and Agile, with worked projects in Microsoft Project and Jira
Cons
- Few knowledge checks between lectures, according to one reviewer who loved the teaching
- Only two short worked projects, and one reviewer asks for more real-world examples
- One reviewer found linking the processes together hard, and another disputed the 35 hour claim
What students say
Brett SidelingerI passed my PMP exam today 3-June-2026 with AT scores in all three domain sections. I completed this course and the two 250 practice tests, as well the first two practice tests in Andrew Ramdayal's PMP Exam Prep 720 Questions. The content and high number of scenario-based questions were extremely helpful to get in the right mindset and absorb the concepts.
Esther ChidoweI passed my PMP exams first time on May 27th 2026 and it was solely from reviewing this course and completing all your exam questions. I have to say David, you do wonderful work for this industry and I along with many, would not have had the instant success and smooth adoption of knowledge without everything you bring to the table. Thank you very much and stay blessed !

9. CAPM Exam Prep Seminar -Updated for the 2023 CAPM Exam
The CAPM is PMI’s entry-level certification, and Joseph Phillips’ seminar follows its 2023 exam outline (predictive and adaptive approaches and business analysis) while counting as the 25 contact hours PMI asks for when you apply. It is big: about 44 hours over 451 lectures, with 35 quizzes, 20 assignments and two practice tests. It was updated in March 2026 and has about 35,300 reviews at 4.7. Reviewers call the explanations clear and the videos short, and one used it as the base of an eight-week plan and passed. Several found the quizzes vague and the lectures repetitive, so add outside practice exams.
Pros
- Counts as the 25 contact hours PMI requires, tracked through course completion
- Short videos and clear explanations that reviewers say are easy to follow
- Covers predictive, adaptive, and business analysis sections of the 2023 outline
- Includes quizzes, assignments, two practice tests, and PDF term sheets
Cons
- Quizzes get called vague and sometimes test topics not yet covered
- Around 44 hours is long, and some reviewers found it repetitive
- Some reviewers say terms were missing and the 49 processes only brushed through
What students say
Jeff BarnesI just took and passed the CAPM exam with Above Target in Agile principles and BA Analysis framework and on target for PM fundamentals and Predictive. This course was the foundation of a study plan that helped me to get this done in 8 weeks as planned. Keep moving forward means don't get caught up on studying too much and just sit for the exam.
Amanda Mooreyes I've learned a lot through this course. I like to take a lot of notes so I can etch it in my mind better than if id do otherwise rather than just adding a noted area. so it is a little time consuming for me but id rather learn it right the first time so I'm ready for the exam!
