All CSM courses are taught by Trainers approved by the Scrum Alliance. Taking a CSM course, accepting the license agreement, and passing the CSM test designates you as a Certified ScrumMaster, which indicates that you have been introduced to and understand the basic concepts you need to perform as a ScrumMaster or team member on a Scrum team.

Certified Scrum MasterScrum is the best known and most frequently used Agile approach. Simple rules let you see what's really happening, get fast feedback and adapt your approach. Thanks to that Scrum allows for effective development of complex product and getting most of your product with every short increment. Despite its origin in IT, Scrum is widely used in other areas, including Sales, Marketing and even Education.

Scrum changes the way teams work and product are being developed. Despite its simplicity it is very difficult to implement and master. It’s hard to understand new approach and gain new perspective from books and articles, therefore we regularly organize courses allowing for better understanding of Scrum roles and principles.

Through lecture, discussions and interactive exercises they learn what is Agile Culture and how to efficiently apply Scrum Principles and Agile Practices to lead and empower Agile team.
