The training uniquely combines Scrum theory with a strong focus on real-world application, coaching, and personal development:

To maximise your learning experience, we advise you to read the Scrum Guide (at least once) and write down your questions and remarks. You can also take the free online Open Scrum assessment on the Scrum.org website.
After the training, you will have access to the classroom page which will have a lot of material to be able to review and read more in-depth information.
Enhance your understanding and practical application of Scrum fundamentals and empiricism.
Master the ability to navigate complex challenges through effective use of Scrum values, principles, and frameworks.
Develop stronger self-awareness regarding your impact as a Scrum Master, including understanding team dynamics and how your behavior influences outcomes.
Acquire practical, coaching-based techniques to better serve your teams and stakeholders.
Build capability to facilitate and encourage continuous improvement within your organization.
The training takes place over four immersive days, spread over four consecutive weeks. This structure provides ample opportunity for reflection, experimentation, and embedding of new skills within the participants' professional environments between sessions.
After the training, you will receive an assessment code from Scrum.org support to take the PSM assessment. There is no expiration date on this assessment code. However, when you take your first attempt within two weeks after the training and do not pass the 85% marker, you will automatically receive a new code to do a second attempt.
Participants will form a sustainable intervision group that continues beyond the initial training period, providing ongoing peer support, knowledge exchange, and mutual coaching opportunities. Scrum Facilitators will occasionally join these intervision sessions, offering ongoing guidance and professional coaching to reinforce learning and enhance your growth as a Scrum Master.
