Certified Scrum Professional® - ScrumMaster

What is a CSP-SM?

This course is endorsed by the Scrum Alliance, Inc (www.scrumalliance.org) and on completion entitles the delegate to claim a Certified Scrum Professional – Scrum Master (CSP-SM) license, valid for two years.

Is there an exam?

No. The CSP-SM accreditation is achieved by completing a multi-stage process.

• Holding a previous or current ACSM license
• Completion of pre-class course preparation
• Attending the in-person two-day course and participating fully in the exercises and class discussions
• Demonstration of ALL the skills taught during the two-day course
• Submission of a post-class journal which showcases how you have applied those skills (within 60 days of course ending)

Is my booking refundable/transferrable?

Yes. We will issue a partial refund (course fee minus £200) if you cancel your booking 30 days before the course starts. However, cancellation (or no-show at the event) after this time you will result in you being charged the full amount due.

Where can I contact the organiser with any questions?

Get in touch with us directly if you have any more specific questions, and one of the team will be happy to help.

Our course has been endorsed by the Scrum Alliance based on teaching you:

• Learn how to accelerate teamwork and team accountability in a new or established Scrum team.
• Learn how lean concepts, complexity thinking and systems thinking can be useful to a ScrumMaster.
• Learn how to coach using an understanding of psychological concepts that drive individual and team behaviour.

The course centres around five disciplines and skills which I believe are essential to the growth and calibre of a practising Scrum Master and/or Agile Coach.

• Coaching - being comfortable helping others to find their own solutions
• Faciliation - guiding from the side to enable meetings and events to flow and reach successful outcomes
• Presentation - using improvisation skills and theory to remain "in the moment" when presenting or educating others
• Systems Thinking - being able to understand how cause and effect takes place in wider, more complex environments
• Kaizen - always believing in bettering oursevles and remaining humble

We always reserve some time to delve into topics and questions that you bring along with you – so come prepared!

This Certified Scrum Professional course is aimed at those in a servant-leadership and coaching role who are looking for a deeper range of enabling, facilitation and coaching skills. Split over three modules supported by deliberate practice and optional supervisory coaching sessions, you will get the chance to learn new skills and deepen existing skills that will make you a more effective servant-leader for your teams, customers and organisation.

Based on the challenging curriculum and concepts, the CSP-SM training is aimed at people already VERY experienced (at least 2 years) with the ScrumMaster role. You will be expected to fully participate in the class, and dedicate time to (and iterate on) your coursework elements.
