not just in theory.
Impress your customers and boss,
advance your career (and get paid more),
and gain job satisfaction without burnout.
At work have you ever felt…
- pressured to deliver faster, and a lot more?
- that obstacles were constantly put in your way?
- frustrated by wasted time in meetings?
- like you were part of a feature factory?
- loss of momentum and motivation?
- confused about what you were supposed to be building/doing?
- micromanaged?
- management didn’t care (or, worse, didn’t trust you)?
- that Scrum is a waste of time, or been told that it is?
The problem isn’t you or your team.
Traditional self-study doesn’t work because many books and teachers treat Scrum as a magic formula, promising that if you just follow all the prescribed steps, you’ll produce great product with more features, faster. But you’re working with real people in the real world, not a theoretical one. In real life, there’s egos, deadlines, competition, pressure… a whole host of problems that aren’t mentioned in training material. Fixing the problems – and the system that created them - isn’t easy, so you need skills as well as a plan to help find your own unique path through the mess.
Discount training gets you discount results.
Don’t settle for fast food Scrum. Invest in healthy, full-meal training with success and ongoing support during and after the course.
Looking for ScrumMaster Certification but don't want to sit through a boring course?
Want real experience and not just theories?
Unsure how Agile can fit into your work world and don't know where to start?
Discouraged by Scrum done poorly?
Just been told you're the ScrumMaster and don't know what to do?
You've found the right place.
We make work suck less.
You can suffer death by PowerPoint to get your ScrumMaster certification from a trainer who has never experienced merge hell themselves, and who waves goodbye as soon as the course is finished (if you’re lucky)…
OR…
… you can discover for yourself why Mark Levison is considered an Agile and Scrum pioneer, and “the one to learn from” in Canada. He believes in going above and beyond the workshop and he invests in your success by providing ongoing support and resources. If you take a course from another provider, you risk leaving the training without a clear path forward. You risk being left to guess for yourself how to guide your team through challenges. You risk being taught Learning Objectives (snooze) as opposed to gaining an understanding of how real teams work.
Training Unlike Any Other
- Hands-on learning of Scrum "what", "how" and "why"
- Expert advice for "Yes, but in real life..." questions
- Techniques to build an effective team without using a carrot and stick approach
- Guidance to deliver the right product, not just features by a deadline
- Methods to create a culture of learning and continuous improvement
- Added value with continued support and resources - it's like extra training days with Mark
- A clear path to long-term success including how to measure progress, hold effective retrospectives and make changes that stick

Mark Levison is one of Canada's foremost experts in Scrum and Agile. After spending twelve years as a ScrumMaster and Coach, helping teams by chance, he started to systemize it and has read hundreds of books, countless articles, and heaps of academic papers, all with the purpose of figuring out what helps teams succeed.

Don't Put This Off
The decline in performance that you already see, and
that prompted you to look for help, isn't going to get better on its own.
It will only get worse.
See the difference Scrum can make. Grab your spot now.
While other trainers may offer an agenda, that isn’t our style. We believe in Scrum, so we run each workshop using Scrum principles to give you immediate hands-on experience. Instead of an agenda, we use a Product Backlog of all the topics needed to meet all certification requirements, plus so very much more. Then just like in real Scrum, attendees work as a team with Mark to make choices about what gets added, reordered, etc.
The Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) course is usually the best fit for anyone new to Scrum as it’s focused on the basics of Scrum and the role of the team and the ScrumMaster.
Our CSM workshops get attendees from across the spectrum including: Individual contributor (Developer, Tester, BA), ScrumMaster, Product Owner, traditional Project Managers, mid-level executives, and anyone interested in learning about Scrum and how to build great teams.
Some things include: understanding the how and why of Scrum (not just the what), how to design retrospectives that help teams overcome problems, how to coach their team through challenges, and how to coach their Product Owner.
Reviews
I got a lot of great resources out of this course! Mark is a fun instructor and I'm certain that I'll be using the booklets/guides very soon.
Mark Levison is an awesome trainer, he used accurate examples and modern tools to convey all key messages when teaching the foundations of Scrum Master approach. I thank him for his leadership and expertise and recommend him to all those who plan to undertake their Scrum Master certification.
It was a great experience
I had the pleasure of taking the Certified ScrumMaster training online with Mark Levison, at Agile Pain Relief, and really enjoyed his approach to learning. His use of Mural to deliver the training was great. The class was interactive, and we were able to complete practical scenarios while working in a scrum team like environment. It seemed any question that was asked he could point the class to a blog he had written on the subject. I highly recommend his class.
From start to finish, this was an exceptional training experience. Mark Levison is a fantastic teacher and a legend in the Scrum and Agile communities. You won't find a better CSM workshop anywhere, and Agile Pain Relief also offers A-CSM and CSPO training. I would recommend Agile Pain Relief if you're serious about Scrum.
Good grounding with realistic scenarios and exercises combined with lively 'what if' discussion
Great course!
Mark tries his best to be engaging despite the Zoom format. The materials can get boring at times, and the course is quite expensive
it was a pleasure to learn from Mark.
Great instructor, great intro into scrum world
