This course is a two-day Certified Scrum Master Training facilitated by Catherine Louis. A hearty THANK YOU goes to the oflks at Shoregrp for hosting this course in their facilities where they practice Scrum. We host classes at companies where people are using Scrum to develop products. The beauty of offering a public course in a place where Scrum is practiced is that we will get to see how others are using Scrum during the course!
In our interactive and hands on Scrum Master Certification course, you will learn the Scrum framework, how to apply Scrum to your projects, and how to navigate the cultural changes necessary to implement Scrum. During the two day course, taught by a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST™), you will earn 14 PDUs and become a Certified Scrum Master through the Scrum Alliance.

Scrum Master training provides an applied understanding of the Scrum process and helps participants begin to develop the tools, insights, and skills requried to apply Scrum on their projects and across their organizations.
