Certified ScrumMaster

Irvine CSM Night Class

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.

This CSM class is the standard 16 hours of training, split across four evening classes, meeting four consecutive nights, Monday through Thursday, 5 PM - 9 PM on August 20th through August 23rd.

Unlike most courses, this CSM course does not use PowerPoint, but is taught interactively via teams, discussion, interaction and exercises. Class feedback has been more than 9.5 on a scale of 1 to 10.

As a local trainer and coach, this course also includes 1 hour of follow-up coaching, training or assessment for those in the Southern California area.

This ScrumMaster certification course provides everything you need to get started with Scrum . The largest and fastest-growing Agile project management methodology, Scrum is a simple framework that has a small set of interrelated practices and rules, is not overly prescriptive and enables more effective teams almost immediately.
