I recently completed a course led by Anil, and I can confidently say he is an exceptional instructor. Having attended his in-person training, I was impressed by his real-world examples that made complex concepts easy to grasp. I came in hoping to understand the basics of Agile and Scrum, but Anil's insightful explanations helped me directly relate the principles to my current role. I'm sure the online course will be just as interactive and engaging as the in-person session. I highly recommend Anil's training for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Scrum!
Review
This course was critical for understanding scrum and best practices in my industry. My instructor, Anil, covered all the topics and more to help me understand the purpose of sprint. I learned the true meaning and purpose of processes I thought I already knew, like Daily Scrum, Sprint Planning, and Retrospectives.
Review
Anil did a fantastic job at providing useful and applicable examples to solidify scrum principles and practices. He was incredibly engaging and made the material accessible. As someone who doesn’t have a background in software development, I still found the course to be informative and Anil made a point of explaining things in non-technical terms.

Anil is a force of nature. The course practices what it preaches and there’s no going back. All in thanks to Anil.

Certified ScrumMaster®
Taught by: Anil Jaising
Learn how to apply scrum and gain practical agile skills to drive results in any role, whether you want to work as a scrum master or grow your capabilities. CSM® courses are delivered by Scrum Alliance-certified trainers who possess deep scrum knowledge. When you complete the course, you will receive a two-year Scrum Alliance professional membership.
Effective Scrum isn't just applying theory or process - it's about creating space for a Team to collaborate and deliver value, effectively. Not just in person, but even when the interactions are virtual and online.
If you're ready to learn Scrum in a fun and engaging way via pragmatic techniques you can apply immediately, this course is for you. From deep study of brain science and adult learning, we've learned what it takes to be effective in a virtual environment and avoid "Zoom fatigue."
Get Hands-On Experience with Scrum
The workshop includes all the material required by the Scrum Alliance for its Certified ScrumMaster CSM® certification, along with stories, tips, tricks and practices to take the theory of Scrum and put it into effective action in your organization.
This course is not a Powerpoint snooze-fest. Short presentations cover concepts. Immersive team-based exercises are interwoven into each lesson to get you hands-on practice.
Something else to know: About 20% of all public CSMs & CSPOs have more than 40 people enrolled. That's not us. Our workshops are designed to be interactive in nature. Our public class enrollments are generally below the average course size. This helps you get rich feedback and interaction from other participants and your trainer.

We often see workshop participants complete their certification exam and become Certified Scrum Masters within 24 hours of completing the workshop.
Can I Miss Several Hours of the Workshop and Still be Certified? No. If you miss more than 15 minutes of the workshop, you will not be eligible for certification, and you will be welcome to attend the rest of the workshop.

Now, while in class, you'll be actively using your computer to participate in exercises, so plan to peek at your email only during a break or at lunchtime.

Something to know: About 20% of all public CSMs & CSPOs have more than 40 people enrolled. That's not us.
Our workshops are designed to be interactive in nature. There are breakout exercises roughly every hour for students to practice and apply concepts in “table teams” of a few people rather than in a plenary (whole class) session. Our public class enrollments are generally below the average course size of 16. This helps you get rich feedback and interaction from other participants and your trainer.
Our aim is that you have an engaging and practical experience - not just learn concepts and pass a test. Our intent is that the workshop leaves you feeling eager, excited, and confident about putting the tips, techniques, and frameworks into practice.
