Who is this course for?
The course is suitable for everyone who is about to start using Scrum or has already gathered some experience and wants to deepen their understanding of Scrum.
The Scrum Master role is the focus of the course – however, it is suitable for team members or managers who would like an introduction to Scrum.
No experience in Agile / Scrum is necessary to enrol on this course. If you have time to do so before the course, please refresh your understanding of Scrum by reading the Scrum Guide or completing our On-Demand Introduction to Agile & Scrum training.
This course requires a minimum attendance of 16 hours. Full attendance and participation will result in the online Certified ScrumMaster exam registration. Upon successful completion of the exam, attendees will hold Certified ScrumMaster status.
If you’re unsure whether the CSM or the CSPO is the right course for you, this short assessment on the Scrum Alliance website should help you to make an informed choice and discover which course aligns best with your career goals and aspirations.

Why become a Certified Scrum Master?
Scrum’s primary selling point has traditionally been ‘the art of doing twice the work in half the time’, yet it’s so much more than that. It’s about producing great work that leverages creativity and collaboration amongst teams to deliver valuable outcomes that delight customers. Frequently and consistently.
Creating a mediocre product twice as quickly isn’t a win for anyone and that’s where a truly great Scrum Master comes into a class of their own.
By leveraging Scrum and Scrum values, the Scrum Master is the glue that binds the Scrum Team together and becomes the catalyst for progression, continuous improvement, and growing hyper-productive teams. They aggressively remove impediments to progress, act as both the guardian and facilitator of Scrum within the organisation, and foster a culture of high performance through servant leadership and coaching.
A Scrum Master is not the source of competitive advantage for your company, but they are an integral part of building and sustaining competitive advantage within the organisation. They are also critical drivers of increased employee satisfaction and retention, as well as increased customer satisfaction and retention. Their effectiveness and influence as a servant leader are tangible and measurable in the value of each product increment delivered within each Sprint cycle.
