With our Premium A-CSM program, you get the most thorough and rigorous instructor-guided online learning program available — plus 1-on-1 mentoring and unlimited virtual classroom sessions. You can move through the program as fast as you like, but we recommend most students plan on 3-6 months for the optimal learning experience. If you’d prefer to really space things out, our Premium Program gives you up to 12 months to complete the course.
Advanced Certified ScrumMaster – Premium Program
$1,495.00
Hands-on learning supported by expert coaching
Our guided mentoring program was designed by Certified Scrum Trainers® specifically for ScrumMasters looking to achieve a deeper understanding on Scrum and Agile. This program offers A-CSM students fast, condensed lessons combined with on-the-job application of key concepts for immediate affect.
Progress at your own pace — all you need is 1-2 hours per week
With our A-CSM Premium program, all you need are a few spare hours a week to complete one or more topics. Our A-CSM program is comprised of eighteen online courses which include short lectures, engaging exercises and useful step-by-step techniques to test out with your team.
Special format – Say goodbye to boring lectures
Most online training is boring and prone to distraction. Too many instructors talk for far too long about topics and theories not relevant for real world application. With our A-CSM program, all our lectures are crisp (no more than fifteen minutes) and are combined with practical, on-the-job exercises so you can immediately put into practice what you have learned.
Be part of a community of learners — establish relationships with the instructors
Learning works best when you are in a community and the best learning experiences are shared. Each month, you can join one or more one-hour virtual classroom sessions with your CST instructor and other students, to check progress, share ideas, answer questions, offer encouragement and give some support. In our program, you will feel like you are doing your A-CSM journey within a team, even though it is an online program.
