Course details
Course Description
This two day course—taught by author and popular Scrum and agile trainer Mike Cohn—not only provides the fundamental principles of Scrum, it also gives participants hands-on experience using Scrum, and closes with Certification as a recognized ScrumMaster.
During the ScrumMaster course, attendees will learn why such a seemingly simple process as Scrum can have such profound effects on an organization. Participants gain practical experience working with Scrum tools and activities such as the product backlog, sprint backlog, daily Scrum meetings, sprint planning meeting, and burndown charts. Participants leave knowing how to apply Scrum to all sizes of projects, from a single collocated team to a large, highly distributed team.
Following successful completion of the course, you will be qualified and ready to pass the Scrum Alliance assessment exam. This multiple-choice, online test is required to become a Certified ScrumMaster, which includes a two-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, where additional ScrumMaster-only material and information are available. For more information on the certification exam, see this page about the CSM exam.
This course earns you 16 SEUs (Category B) within the Scrum Alliance. This course also earns you 15 PDUs (Category A) within the PMI. SEUs and PDUs can be used toward CSP, PMP, PMI-ACP and other certifications.
Courses will be conducted in English.

Very interactive session with a diverse group of cohorts.

Great team, great content
Appreciate the real world exercises applying these concepts.
Awesome teacher and class!
a fun interactive class to cover the principles needed for the CSM exam. highly recommend!
The set of videos was helpful to gear you up for the live class. The videos were informative and engaging. The instructor was funny, kept all attendees interactive and made it a great experience for everyone involved.
Mike's videos were very information and provided a ton of information. For a newbie with Scrum, I was able to follow and feel totally prepared for the Live sessions with Scott. Scott provided real world examples and was open to open discussions to help make the information relatable.
Scott was a great instructor.
