Certified Scrum Trainer^® (CST^®)

At Scrum Alliance, we value the learner’s journey above all else, so we prioritize trainers who are able to meet learners wherever they are. It takes a special kind of person to pursue the CST certification. It’s a journey that is challenging – and life changing. Read on to hear from a few of our CSTs about their experiences.

• Bruno Margueritat (France): "My long journey to become a CST was the most valuable and challenging journey of my career. It makes me grow, not only as a trainer, but also as a person."

• Bob Jiang (China): "My CST journey is the most valuable thing I did in the last 7 years. I got feedback from different talented people, and stretched myself more and more. If you would like to go beyond your comfort zone, challenge yourself towards the CST."

• Kamlesh Ravelani (India): "I can confidently say that my CST journey has been massively rewarding. Feedback I received at each step of this journey helped me expand my envelope, helped polish the rough edges as a trainer and allowed for increased self-awareness."
