If you're a project manager looking to take your skills to the next level, or if you have ever sat in a meeting that was poorly organized with a lack of clarity - this is a great course for you!Alex Bass
This was one of the best on-line learning experiences I have had. It was hand-on and collaborative even though it was done virtually. I particularly love how all the content was still available after the course was over so I could continue to prepare for the certification exam on my own. But not that I needed it, I was more than prepared for the exam once the course was complete.Brian Boyd
There are a ton of articles and videos on-line on the subject of Scrum (many of them written by Mike Cohn and the team at Mountain Goat) and this course does a great job of distilling the lake of information into a manageable and consumable course. Mike Cohn and the other instructors are invested in the success of Scrum at your organization and how much they care really shines through. I have several years of experience working in a Scrum environment and I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to learn new ways to really take their team to the next level.Drew Grubb
I’d highly recommend the scrum master course to anyone managing a team of developers and learning how to facilitate the different meetings to optimize for outcome.Mohsin Sumar
It was well worth my time, starting with the videos to prepare and the interactions with others of varying skills wanting to learn more about being a ScrumMaster.David Harms

If you cancel or reschedule a Live Online course more than 7 days before the first day of the class you will receive a full refund. If you cancel or reschedule within 7 days of the first day of class, a 50% fee will be charged, and the remaining 50% can be used as a credit toward a class to be taken within 6 months from the date of the canceled class. All cancellation requests must be made via email. Refunds or credits will not be issued for no shows, partial attendance or cancellations within 24 business hours.

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.
