We offer live online (live virtual) instructor-led training and onsite corporate group training, both led by a Certified Scrum Trainer. Choose the format that fits your schedule and learning preference.

Are there prerequisites to enrol in the training?

There are no prerequisites to enrol. Attendance at the approved CSM course is itself the requirement to access the Scrum Alliance online exam, so anyone motivated to learn Scrum can join.

Can I reschedule or transfer my CSM enrolment?

Yes. You can reschedule or transfer to another batch under our published policy. Contact our support team and we will help you move to a schedule that works for you.

How soon can I start the CSM course?

New live online batches run regularly, and corporate cohorts can be scheduled around your team's availability. See upcoming schedules or speak with a learning advisor to pick the next available date in your timezone.
