I am learning so much by just listening to your experiences and solutions - it is a good melding of the course and actual experience.Roberta Pettit
I recently attended Mountain Goat Software's Advanced Certified Scrum Master 2 day course. Much to my delight it was facilitated by Brian Milner. Brian is such a skilled and engaging facilitator. The content was logically sequenced and paced well for increased comprehension along with application of new learnings and skills. The best part for me personally was connecting with so many like minded Scrum Masters whose main goals here were to increase their abilities to best serve their teams. The conversations and relationships I made were fantastic and I cannot wait to start making even more of difference with my teams. Thank you Mike, Brian and Mountain Goat Software for yet another enriching learning journey.

Amazing class! Great course content but my favorite part was how engaging and valuable the workshops were. Brian did such an excellent job facilitating and making sure everyone was able to have productive conversations. I wish we had another day just to keep sitting around talking!Danielle Hunt
Brian's A-CSM class was a perfect combination of recap, new materials, and discussions with other professionals.

This class was a relevant step in learning more about being a better scrum master and the journey in front of the scrum master. I would recommend this class to anyone that is trying to learn more about SCRUM. The instructor was very knowledgeable, understanding, and quick to respond to questions. He had complete control of the class but also encouraged spontaneity. The classmates were all eager to learn and had a wealth of knowledge being from different backgrounds and it seemed like every exercise the team I was with all participated and worked for excellence in the exercises.

No, your certificate will not mention the course was held virtually. It will look the same as the in person certificates.
Our certified Live Online classes include volume discounts:
All CSM, CSPO, A-CSM, and A-CSPO classes include a 2-year Scrum Alliance membership
The only course that includes an exam is the Certified ScrumMaster class. There is no additional fee to pay in order to take the exam. The course registration fee is the full and final price.
Your CSM or CSPO certificate doesn't need to be current to be eligible for the advanced courses. Once you complete your Advanced course, you will need to add 1 year of relevant work experience to your profiles to receive your certification.
If your certificate is expired, there is no cut-off date that requires you to take that certification course again. (You may want to retake it if a lot of time has passed, or if you want to renew it by re-taking the class rather than going through the renewal process of submitting enough SEUs and paying the renewal fee.)
When it comes to taking an advanced class, if your foundational (CSM / CSPO) certification has expired you can still take the course. Assuming you meet the experience requirement on completion of the advanced class, your foundational certification will be renewed, and include new renewal deadlines.
After completing your course, you'll receive an email with instructions for claiming continuing education units from Scrum Alliance and Project Management Institute.
