Trainer - Michel Goldenberg

Overview:

A Certified ScrumMaster® helps project teams properly use Scrum, increasing the likelihood of the project's overall success. CSMs understand Scrum values, practices, and applications and provide a level of knowledge and expertise above and beyond that of typical project managers.

Pre- requisite:

There are no prerequisites for attending the course itself. A degree of course completion from our Certified Scrum Trainer makes you eligible for Scrum Alliance’s Online CSM Test.

Certification:

 To gain the CSM certification, candidates must:

❖ Understand the concepts of Scrum.

❖ Attend a two-day CSM course taught by a Certified Scrum Trainer.

❖ After completing your CSM course, you will receive an email from Scrum Alliance that includes a link to create your login credentials. You will use those credentials to gain access to the Online CSM Test.

❖ Take the online CSM test.

The Exam:

• Score a minimum of 24 correct answers out of 35 questions to pass the CSM test.
• On successfully passing the test, you will be asked to accept the License Agreement and complete your Scrum Alliance membership profile.

 You will then receive the official designation of Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM) from Scrum Alliance, along with a two-year membership with Scrum Alliance.

If you are already a Scrum Alliance Member, the CSM Test will be available through a link from your dashboard. Once the test is complete, you will be asked to accept a license agreement and your CSM badge will appear on your profile.

The CSM Test fee is included in your course fee; however, if you fail the test a second time, you will need to pay a $25 exam fee to Scrum Alliance before taking the exam a third time. Scrum Alliance recommends that anyone who fails three times, must re-take the CSM course before attempting the exam a fourth time.
