3BACK'S ADVANCED CERTIFIED SCRUMMASTER TRAINING
HERE'S WHAT WE DO!
The A-CSM is a very intense course, and our goal is to maximize our student outcomes in the 16 hours we have together.
12 of those 16 hours are guided learning, where you will be working, reading, completing exercises, discussions, and so on. We guide you through 13 learning modules with great materials, discussions, and exercises. All of the Learning Objectives will be verified in 12 Contact hours while you are working through assignments that are reviewed. We facilitate this for you by review, by verifying you've completed each module before moving to the next one, and by having our admin available to you for questions.
4 of these 16 hours are Office Hours, where the Trainer does Coaching, Mentoring and Q&A based on the Students' questions and supports the LOs. In practice, the vast majority of this time is spent talking about work problems or misperceptions about agile and scrum.
We believe, and our reviews validate, that this structure provides a near-optimal learning experience for our Students.

MORE ABOUT THE COURSE
As a Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM®), you’ve been introduced to Scrum values, practices, and applications. You now understand how to facilitate a Scrum team's development, teamwork and improvement processes through the use of Scrum.
The next step in your journey is to obtain an Advanced Certified ScrumMaster® (A-CSM®) credential from Scrum Alliance®. To obtain your A-CSM you need to take an A-CSM class and have at least one year of experience as a Scrum Master. (For Details see here.)
3Back's Exclusive Companion Book
A Great Scrum Team is good at playing both the production and improvement games. The Scrum Mastering II book and companion course, will help you guide your team to become a Great Team that is proficient at both games. For anyone who is new to the world of Scrum -- its foundations, its principles, its nuances -- there’s a lot to digest. You will discover that Scrum is lightweight, useful, and difficult to master. Once mastered, Scrum becomes an intuitive extension of how you approach work.
To help you master Scrum, our books are broken down into two groups. The Scrum Handbooks which describe the models of Single-Team Scrum and Multi-Team Scrum - what it is. And the Scrum Guidebooks, which describes guidance for implementation - how to apply. Both book groups will help you frame Scrum Effectively so that you can maximize your chances of success - especially in complex, ever-changing environments.
The Scrum Leadership Series is a core set of books and companion courses that, when combined with years of domain-driven experience, allow a person to be designated as a Recognized Scrum Leader.

TESTIMONIALS
OUR STUDENTS SAY IT BEST
It was a wonderful experience and kept us engaged throughout. It was perfect.
K. CHANDWANI
I enjoyed the class and the interaction from the trainer with the class. One of the few trainings I really looked forward to coming back to the next day
D. BROWN

Reviews
Was a self paced study which was important for having time to digest and study the materials needed.
I liked the self-paced aspect, and there was a lot of great information in the course itself. Would have liked the one on ones to be a bit more focused, maybe with a cohort of people who started the course at the same time, but I totally understand why they structure those the way they do. All in all, a great value for the price!
