Advanced Certified Scrum Master (A-CSM) Training
The Advanced Certified Scrum Master (A-CSM) class is for Certified ScrumMasters who already have a year’s experience and need to take the next step in learning, scaling, and dealing with resistance, in order to become true experts.
We offer this training as an in-person training (2 days) as well as a remote course (usually 3x5 h).
Our Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) training class is a two-day learning experience for Certified ScrumMasters 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).
