Scrum Master
What makes the best Scrum Master training? Learning it from people who do it every day. The Professional Scrum Master (PSM) course from Scrum.org is the global standard in agile training. Taught by New Zealand’s longest-standing Scrum trainer, Edwin Dando, who learned Scrum directly from the creators Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber. If you want to learn how to master Scrum, this is the course for you.
About
The Professional Scrum Master™ (PSM) course offers an engaging and interactive learning experience. It focuses on activity-based instruction to help students thoroughly grasp the fundamentals of Scrum.
Participants will develop a profound understanding of Scrum’s core principles. We will also unpack the agile mindset, and what makes a high-performing Scrum team.
Certification
This course includes the PSM1 Assessment (the base-level certification for Scrum Masters), as part of the fee. The assessment is done after the course, in your own time. All details are supplied as part of the course, including tips and tricks for preparing for the assessment.
Duration
This Scrum Master course uses experiential learning techniques and is best learned in person, not online. While we have taught it online during lockdown, experience has taught us that people learn much more when collaborating in person. We therefore only offer this two-day course in person.
Cost
$1,800 + GST per person standard rate.
$1,600 + GST per person early bird
(booked and paid for one month prior to the programme).
