Course Details Questions:

Both our in-person and virtual course formats are dynamic and interactive, steering clear of the typical ‘death by PowerPoint’ experience. The in-person sessions foster spontaneous discussions and hands-on activities, creating an environment of active participation. Meanwhile, our virtual format translates this engaging interaction into the digital realm. Regardless of your choice, the quality, participant feedback, and assessment outcomes remain consistently high across both formats.

Ultimately, it’s about your personal preference: whether you thrive in the direct, face-to-face interaction of in-person training or prefer the flexibility and convenience of virtual learning, you’ll receive the same comprehensive and engaging experience in our course

Our courses generally start at 09:00 and finish at 17:00 UK time each day. However, we recommend checking the specific details of each individual course for any variations in timings.

Our courses are intentionally kept small to guarantee a premium learning experience. In instances where a course exceeds 10 attendees, we ensure the quality is maintained by having a second trainer in our classes

Begin with the Scrum Guide.
The Scrum Guide is your essential starting point for preparation. While it serves as the primary resource, exploring additional materials can deepen your understanding and help you get even more from the two-day course – though it’s not mandatory.

Our blogs can provide practical insights into key concepts during the course. Recommended reads include:

What is a Scrum Master?
Agile and Scrum: Unravelling the Misconceptions.

For extended learning, Scrum.org’s Scrum Master Learning Path offers a variety of resources, including blogs, articles, videos, and podcasts, that dive deeper into Scrum concepts and practices.

We know that sometimes emergencies can’t be helped, so we ask you to keep the course days clear in your schedule as much as possible. Our trainers have the final say if you miss some time, and generally, being away for more than an hour might mean you can’t be accredited. But don’t worry too much – if this happens, we’ve thought of a compassionate alternative. You won’t receive a refund or assessment codes, but we’ll gladly welcome you into a future class at no extra cost. Please remember, we can’t cover any costs that come up due to rescheduling, but we’re here to support your educational journey in every way we can!

It explores the responsibilities and intricacies of this role in detail, making it well-suited for individuals aiming to specialize as Scrum Masters.

Both the APS and PSM courses offer two attempts at the PSM I assessment. While each course provides the essential knowledge to pass, PSM delves deeper into Scrum Accountabilities. Choose the course that best aligns with your learning objectives.
