Certified ScrumMaster

All CSM courses are taught by Certified Scrum Trainers. Taking a CSM course, passing the CSM test, and accepting the license agreement designates you as a Certified ScrumMaster, which indicates that you have been introduced to and understand the basic concepts you need to perform as a ScrumMaster or team member on a Scrum team. This course also satisfies two elements of the CSD track: Scrum Introduction and Elective.



Platinum Edge uses dynamic teaching techniques with real-world examples and hands-on exercises to make your understanding of Scrum straightforward and enjoyable.

During our intensive 2-day class, Certified Scrum Trainer and author of “Agile Project Management for Dummies” Mark Layton will step you through the finer points of the Scrum framework.

The cost of the attendance covers:

  • Certified Scrum Master assessment and certification (CSM)
  • 16 PDUs toward PMP recertification and PMI-ACP certification
  • 2-year membership in Scrum Alliance
  • 132-page reference guide


We also provide breakfast, snacks, and drinks to keep you energized and motivated throughout the day.
