Advanced Certified ScrumMaster® (A-CSM) Training

The A-CSM certification is an advanced level certification that helps Scrum Masters grow to a higher level of effectiveness.

Participants must already hold the Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) credential with the Scrum Alliance, and they must demonstrate 12 months of collective experience using agile methods to qualify for the ACSM designation.

• ScrumMasters, Agile Coaches & other Change Agents
• Certified Scrum Professionals looking to renew their certification Team Leads
• Tech Leads & Development Managers
• Project & Program Managers

Pre-course preparation is required to gain the most from the program. This will include reading materials and a personal review of your own experience using Scrum.

Clear your schedule to be fully present during the training hours; if a participant misses more than 30 minutes of the class, they will not be eligible to be certified. Should your schedule prevent you from attending the entire class, our team will work with you to schedule another class on a different date.

Your Certified Scrum Trainer (instructor) will register you for certification after you have fully participated in the 2-day training. Be certain that you provide your instructor with the same email address used for your Scrum Alliance account, so that the prerequisites are all together in the system. Please confirm your Scrum Alliance login information is working before class begins.

No, there is no exam. Taking an Advanced CSM course, meeting the 7 learning objectives, and accepting the license agreement designates participants as an Advanced Certified ScrumMaster.

You will need to log your hours into your Scrum Alliance account (likely set up when you received your CSM® certification).

• To do this, go to your “Certification Dashboard” under “Settings” at the top right of the screen.
• Under the profile picture, select to “Edit” your certification profile.
• Scroll down to “Add/edit” your work experience.

Please submit a “Membership Account Questions” inquiry online and provide them with the following information:

1. Email addresses for both profiles
2. Usernames for both profiles
3. The email address that you would like to use for both profiles

Once they have all this information, they can combine your profiles and send you the correct, updated login information.

The Advanced Certified Scrum Master Certification is valid for 2 years. Beginning Feb 2019, renewal requirements include obtaining 30 Scrum Education Units and a $175 renewal fee.
