Advanced Scrum Master course
Overview
Our Advanced Certified Scrum Master (A-CSM) training class is a learning experience for Certified Scrum Masters who already have at least one-year experience and need to take a further step in learning, scaling, facilitating and coaching, in order to become true experts. The A-CSM program is the second step in the Scrum Alliance Path to CSP program and it is designed to build on your previous knowledge and experience and further enhance your skills in the service of the Team, the Product Owner and the whole organization.
The class is presented in a highly interactive and collaborative format with elements of lecture, classroom discussion, exercises, games and simulations, smoothly blended throughout the class.
Upon completion of the class, students who have at least 1 year experience as a Scrum Master will be eligible to become an Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM).
“I would like to sincerely thank you both for a great training and chance for the collaboration! That was a really awesome and fun experience!” – Farid Z.
Pre-requisites
In order to obtain the A-CSM certification, you will need to attend the A-CSM training, complete the online pre-course preparation homework, hold a Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Master (CSM) certificate and demonstrate at least one-year work experience specific to the role of Scrum Master (from within the past five years).
Target audience
The A-CSM course is appropriate for Certified Scrum Masters with at least 1 year experience as a Scrum Master. This is the perfect opportunity to further develop in the principles and practices of Scrum within an Agile team or organization, whilst taking the next step on your journey towards becoming a Certified Scrum Professional.
Even though the course is appropriate for Certified ScrumMasters with at least 1 years’ experience, you can still attend the class if you are short of your required experience. You will only receive certification after the full 1 year is completed.
