PREREQUISITES: None
OUTCOME: CSM Eligibility and 14 PDUs; 14 SEUs
DURATION: 2 Days
REQUIRED READING: Scrum 101
3Back’s Certified Scrum Master (CSM) training provides the tools and information necessary to help you get started with Scrum at your own company. Through robust simulations, hands-on experience, and high-quality instruction, students will learn the fundamentals of Scrum and how to facilitate, coach, and lead an agile project.
Our CSM and CSPO classes assume the student has a basic knowledge of Scrum. If you are concerned, view the Scrum Alliance Foundations videos here.
We use guided exercises in short 15-minute or less periods where students interact after working with explicit and clear guidance, followed quickly by discussion with your instructor. We also use exercises and questions to help students grasp the learning objectives and outcomes required for your foundational course.

DETAILS
Enrolling in 3Back’s Certified ScrumMaster training is the first step toward achieving your own ScrumMaster certification from the world’s largest, oldest, and most recognized Scrum certification organization — the Scrum Alliance. Successful completion of a Scrum Alliance-approved CSM course is required to take the certification exam. Upon completing your Certified ScrumMaster training class, your credentials will be sent to the Scrum Alliance, and they will contact you directly with instructions on taking your exam.
The initial cost of your exam plus a 2-year membership to the Scrum Alliance is included in your 3Back course registration, so there’s no need to worry about hidden costs or surprise fees later on. We know that test anxiety is common so we do everything we can to help you prepare. In addition to the knowledge obtained in class, you will receive a free Scrum Study Guide with two practice exams. And, if you need us, our entire staff (including your trainer) is only a click or call away, so if you need clarification or review, drop us a line. Following your Certified Scrum Master training course, you’ll have 90 days to complete the non-proctored online exam.
The exam consists of 50 questions selected randomly from a pool. A passing score requires a minimum of 37 correct answers. Although 3Back students have a pass rate of over 99%, if you need to retake the exam, a second attempt is included at no cost. Additional attempts are $25 each. We have done our best to provide the most up-to-date information. However, we suggest checking the Scrum Alliance directly for additional details or confirmation of the above.
CERTIFIED SCRUMMASTER TRAINING
So you want to learn Scrum. But is training really worth it?
What can training give you that reading a few books can’t?
TIME = MONEY
Transforming your team or organization to a new methodology is a big undertaking. Organized training will give you the kickstart you need and save you valuable time otherwise wasted on costly trial and error.
INCREASED RETENTION
Studies show that when learners “do and say,” they experience an increase of knowledge retention up to 80% over reading alone.
BUILD SKILL, NOT JUST KNOWLEDGE
Books and blogs are good knowledge resources. Skill, however, is acquired by doing. There is simply no replacement for the skill-building that occurs with hands-on activities and real-life simulations.
There is no right or wrong person to attend this training. The most successful agile adoptions have included training for everyone, right down to Finance and Sales staff. Scrum training is appropriate for anyone in the corporate structure dealing with rapidly changing demands. In a traditional organization, these roles might include:
Developers
Program Managers
Designers
Stakeholders
Testers
CXOs
Technical Writers
Analysts
Directors
Architects
SMEs
QA Staff
Project Managers
Coders
Product Managers
Engineers
WHAT INDUSTRIES
USE SCRUM?
The most popular use of Scrum is for software development in various industries, including financial services, insurance, education, information technology, government programs, and supply chain management. But Scrum goes beyond software development! We’ve known organizations and individuals using Scrum for graphic design, wedding planning, data warehousing, consulting, classroom projects, household management, auto salvage yards, and more. Scrum is appropriate for almost any complex project with rapidly changing or emergent requirements, regardless of the industry.
