What Do Our Students Say About Our Class?
TrustScore 4.9
Excellent
"Thank you for the wonderful sessions and for making the course more of self-managed with your awesome facilitating skills. To be honest, my opinion was if everything is to be done by the attendees then what is the role of the Trainers: disappointed: but after completing the assignments slowly the experience is sinking down the brain that it was all about facilitating skills to ensure the attendees learn the advanced scrum skills through self-awareness, visualize the problems, identify the solutions and strategize according to the needs of our teams."
Shaik Jaffrey
"The instructor was resourceful and had very direct approach to the material, it felt like hanging out with my friends but every word was opening a new dominion of knowledge."

What are the requirements for the Advanced Certified ScrumMaster certification?
To receive the Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) certification, you need to have a current Certified ScrumMaster certification with the Scrum Alliance and have 1 year of work experience as a ScrumMaster in the last 5 years, and satisfactorily complete an accredited A-CSM program like ours.
I do not have the required work experience yet, can I still start the program?
The 12 months of work experience specific to the role of Scrum Master or Product Owner can be met at any time once you’ve attended an A-CSM or A-CSPO course. The work experience must be within the past five years.
How long does it take for me to complete the program?
The cohort-based program is part of a team-based training where you will be taken through a scrum master journey from teaching scrum to stakeholders to creating a roadmap that suits your organization. In addition to self-paced tasks, the learner will participate in a weekly one-hour session to complete the certification within 4 to 6 weeks. The four sessions will consist of live training.
How soon can I start the program after I sign up?
As soon as you join you will be invited to join our learning academy to start the pre-work and the dates for the cohort sessions will be as per your registration page.
Is there a test at the end of the program? Will my work be graded?
There are NO tests to obtain any of the certifications that you can achieve with our programs. However, the Scrum Alliance places a strong emphasis on validated work experience to receive more advanced certifications. Since our CSTs are the ones charged by the Scrum Alliance to make sure that learners who they certify meet a level of competency, as you go along, your assignments and exercises will be evaluated by your instructor and will have to be satisfactorily performed for them to request your certification be issued. They will be looking for evidence that you can put into practice what you have learned in the program with a Scrum/Agile team. In addition, you can agree to mentor if you would like deeper responses to questions and topics.
