Frequently Asked Questions

What are the days of this CSPO workshop?

August 18th through August 21st, 2025 

When do we start and end each day?

The virtural classroom opens at 8:45 AM each day and class will begin promptly at 9:00 AM. We will end at 1:00 PM each day. All times are USA Pacific Time.

What's the pre-work?

We recommend that you watch this series of 14 short videos, which will get you up to speed on the fundamentals. We also recommend that you read The Scrum Guide. This 14-page document defines what scrum is. Budget about 90 minutes total for these two activities. Doing this homework before class will make a huge difference in how much value you get from the workshop itself.

Is the cost of the test included?

There isn't yet a test for CSPO, so no worries! The price of the workshop does include two years of membership in the Scrum Alliance; sweet!

Do you offer a guarantee?

We guarantee our services unconditionally. If you aren't satisfied, we aren't either, and we'll work with you to make it right, up to and including your money back.

What is your refund/transfer policy?

Life happens; we get it! At this unprecedented time we are waiving our last-minute transfer/cancellation fee. Please reach out to us before the start of the workshop and we'll be happy to help you.
