About the CSM Class

This is a 4-evening Live On-line class focused on the adaptive framework called Scrum. This class is certified by Scrum Alliance as the CSM®.

Get Involved!

There's not a lot of time to sit around and just watch. This class is packed with exercises that require each student to participate. You are only going to be able to Master Scrum if you participate in class.

Value in Certification

The Certified ScrumMaster(CSM)® certification is the most-respected and widest known certification in the Agile world. It is a requirement for almost all open Scrum Master positions today. Many of our students looking to make a career change start with this class and certification to jumpstart their next career, or next career move.

We Offer Something Unique!

Prerequisites

There are no required prior certificates, educational background, or work experience needed to participate in this course. Preparing for the course, by reading the Agile Manifesto, the Scrum Guide, and watching the e-Learning series of videos is a responsible move, though.

More CSM Exam Details
