Overview

Get ready to gain your ScrumMaster certification

The Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) training is a two day course designed to engage and immerse you in the fundamental principles of Scrum. It offers a wide range of highly practical tactics, techniques and tips that work in the real world.

This course is led by fully qualified and certified expert trainers. It has been designed to be interactive and features a blend of activities, exercises, in-depth discussions and presentation segments to ensure that all learning styles are engaged.

Upon completion of this course, you will have all the knowledge required to sit the CSM exam* - the final step in gaining your ScrumMaster qualification.

What is the Certified ScrumMaster certification?

The Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) certification is the most globally recognised ScrumMaster certification, governed by the peak industry body, the Scrum Alliance.
