Professional Scrum Master

Discover Scrum’s four success principles in this guaranteed official Scrum.org Professional Scrum Master training class, leading to and including the industry-recognized PSM I certification. (This live-virtual class will be offered in English.)

Enjoy the benefits of a compact immersive class with like-minded agile peers in the morning hours from 9 am – 1 pm CET:

➕ Tech check & PSM I certification preparation: Additionally to the class itself, we also meet a week before for the tech check. Moreover, we meet a week after the class to share first-hand experience with the PSM I certification and prepare ourselves to pass the certification.

➕ Attend a free refresher class as a former student upon arrangement and availability. Here, a former student may attend a (public) course for a second time to revisit practices and principles. (Attendance does not include recertification, however.)

Pre-requisits: The PSM I class is most effective when you already have some practical experience with Scrum or comparable agile practices. Alternatively, you need general knowledge in project management and product development. If neither is the case, I recommend considering attending an Applying Professional Scrum (APS) class first; the class is not suited for absolute beginners.

Furthermore the workshop is well balanced between knowledge input and active training with practical examples. I can recommend this for everybody who wants to get a first glance on SCRUM.

But although this was also tried to tackle by our SCRUM teacher.” (Link.)
