Professional Scrum Master II

This is a two day course specifically aimed at existing Scrum Masters with at least six months experience to support them in their professional development.

Unlike the PSM course, this course assumes working knowledge of Scrum and focuses on facilitation techniques, developing a deeper understanding of what is required to be effective with Scrum and various stances a Scrum Master can take when coaching their team/s.

This *virtual* course includes 2 days training and up to two attempts at the PSM II Assessment for a *discounted* price of £895 + VAT.

What's included in the price?

The price includes 2 days training and up to two attempts at the PSM II Assessment and a 40% discount on the PSM III Assessment should you wish to attempt it.

You can also claim 14 PMI PDU credits for attending the course.

How many people will be in the training?

At least 4 and usually no more than around 8 people to ensure maximum engagement for everyone who attends.

What time does the training run from and until?

Nine to half past five both days with frequent breaks for coffee and lunch.

How do I obtain the PSM II (Professional Scrum Master) Certification?

The course includes up to two free attempts at the PSM II on-line Assessment. You can take this in your own time. All you need is a computer with an internet connection and a web browser and the assessment password, which is supplied by Scrum.org after you have completed the course. It is an "open book" exam meaning you can have the Scrum Guide open and Google available but you need to answer 30 multiple choice questions in 90 minutes and the pass mark is 85%.

Students that attempt the assessment within 14 days but do not pass will be given a 2nd attempt at no additional cost.
