This Scrum Master training gives you the practical skills and PSM I certificate to lead a real Scrum team with confidence. Not just theory.

Scrum.org PartnerRecognised CertificateBy Experienced Trainers

Wanting to become a Scrum Master takes more than skimming a few articles. You need to understand how to create an environment where a team can actually do great work, how to deal with real impediments when they pop up, and how to coach people without just telling them what to do. This Scrum Master training builds exactly those skills. You'll finish with a Professional Scrum Master (PSM I) certificate that's recognised worldwide, plus the practical know-how to apply it from your very first Sprint.

Why this Scrum Master course actually works

Plenty of Scrum Master courses walk you through the framework. This one shows you how to use it when things get messy. Big difference. You'll work through situations that come up in real teams: a team that quietly ignores the Sprint Goal, a Product Owner who keeps going directly to developers, a Daily Scrum that's slowly turned into a status update. You'll know what to do in each case.

  • Built on the Scrum Guide 2020. The Scrum Guide defines Scrum as a lightweight framework grounded in empiricism and lean thinking. This training works from that foundation, not a simplified version of it.
  • PSM I certificate included. You'll be ready for the Professional Scrum Master I assessment. It's a rigorous test and we make sure you're prepared for it, not just vaguely familiar with the content.
  • Small groups, real practice. You work in a small cohort where you can try things, make mistakes and get direct feedback from a trainer who's seen it all. No 200-person webinars.
  • Taught by active practitioners. Our trainers work with real teams right now. They know what a Daily Scrum actually looks like in a 9-person team three weeks into a complicated project. That context makes the coaching land differently.

What you'll cover during the training

The Scrum Master training follows a clear path, but it's not a lecture series. You move through the material by doing it, not watching someone do it for you.

  • Scrum fundamentals and the 2020 Scrum Guide. We start with what Scrum actually means and why the framework is shaped the way it is. Transparency, inspection, adaptation. Not as buzzwords, but as things you'll practise in your next Sprint.

  • The Scrum Master role in practice. The Scrum Guide says the Scrum Master is accountable for the Scrum Team's effectiveness. We dig into what that looks like day to day: facilitating events, clearing blockers, coaching the team and the wider organisation.

  • Learn from practitioners who do it every day, because our trainers don't just work with Scrum in theory but brint real-life situations from the teams who they work with.

  • PSM I exam preparation. We walk through the format of the Professional Scrum Master I assessment, the kinds of questions you'll face, and the spots where most candidates lose marks. You'll sit the PSM I with genuine confidence.

Already have your PSM I and want to go further? The Professional Scrum Master Advanced (PSM-A) training is your natural next step, covering deeper coaching, facilitation and organisational change.

There are also related paths worth exploring. If you work closely with designers, the Professional Scrum with UX training (PSU) broadens your toolkit. And if your team works across a Kanban system, check out the Professional Scrum with Kanban Training (PSK).

Common questions about Scrum Master training

Do I need prior experience to join the Scrum Master training?+
No formal prerequisites. If you've worked in or around a development team, you'll have plenty of context to draw on. Completely new to Scrum? That's fine too. The Scrum Master training starts from the fundamentals and builds up. You don't need a technical background to become a Scrum Master.
What makes PSM I different from a Scrum Master certificate from other providers?+
The PSM I is issued by Scrum.org, co-founded by Ken Schwaber, one of the two creators of Scrum. It doesn't expire and there's no renewal fee. It's based directly on the official Scrum Guide, so it tests real understanding of the framework, not just memorisation. A lot of employers specifically ask for it.
How long does the Scrum Master training take?+
The Professional Scrum Master training typically runs over two days. After the course you get access to the PSM I assessment, which you can take whenever you feel ready. Most participants sit it within a week of finishing the Scrum Master training.
What score do I need to pass the PSM I assessment?+
You need 85% or above. The questions are scenario-based and test how well you understand the Scrum Guide 2020 in real situations. It's not easy. But this Scrum Master course prepares you specifically for the format and the tricky edge-case questions. Most participants pass on the first attempt.
Can I follow this Scrum Master course online?+
Yes. The training runs in both online and in-person formats. Online sessions are fully interactive with breakout groups, case studies and the same trainer feedback you'd get in a classroom. You can become a Scrum Master without being in the room.
Is this training useful if I'm already working as a Scrum Master?+
Absolutely. Many experienced practitioners find the Scrum Master training resets their thinking and surfaces habits they didn't realise they'd picked up. If you've been practising for a while and want a deeper challenge, the PSM-A covers advanced coaching, facilitation and organisational change.
