    Is the CSM exam fee included in the training price?

    For CSM, the online exam is delivered by Scrum Alliance after you complete an approved course, and it is typically covered within the course arrangement rather than billed as a separate exam sitting. Confirm the exact inclusions for your enrolment with our team.

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for product teams, PMOs and business units. Ask about corporate or group pricing for your team in Abu Dhabi.

    Exam

    What is the format of the CSM exam?

    The CSM exam is an open-book, multiple-choice examination taken online through the Scrum Alliance member portal after you complete an approved course. It is based on the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives and the current Scrum Guide.

    How many questions are on the CSM exam and how long is it?

    The CSM exam has 50 multiple-choice questions and you have 60 minutes to complete it. It is taken online through the Scrum Alliance portal without a proctor, within 90 days of completing your course.

    What is the passing score for the CSM exam?

    The passing score is 74%, which means you must answer at least 37 of the 50 questions correctly. Because the exam is open book and course-based, focused preparation across the six CSM topic areas makes a first-time pass very achievable.

    What if I do not pass the CSM exam the first time?

    You typically have up to three attempts to pass within 90 days of completing your course. The training, courseware and practice activities are designed to prepare you thoroughly, so most candidates pass comfortably. Verify the current attempt policy with Scrum Alliance.

    Which standard is the CSM exam based on?

    The CSM exam is based on the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives and aligned to the current Scrum Guide (November 2020), authored by Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland. It covers Scrum theory, values, the team, events, artefacts and the Scrum Master role.

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the CSM training?

    The training covers the six CSM topic areas: Scrum theory and principles, the five Scrum values, the Scrum Team, the five Scrum events, the three Scrum artefacts, and the Scrum Master role. It maps to the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives and the 2020 Scrum Guide.

    Can a beginner take CSM training, or do I need experience?

    Beginners are welcome. The CSM has no formal education or work-experience requirement, so it suits people new to Scrum as well as those formalising existing knowledge. The trainer builds concepts step by step with hands-on practice.

    How long is the CSM course?

    The instructor-led CSM course is a 16-hour programme, usually delivered as two full days or four half-days, which meets Scrum Alliance course requirements. Both live virtual and classroom formats qualify you to sit the CSM exam.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive Scrum Alliance aligned courseware, industry case studies on facilitation and coaching, practice activities and knowledge checks. On completion you gain a two-year Scrum Alliance membership and access to the online CSM exam.

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current Scrum Guide, the November 2020 edition, and to the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives, so you learn the framework exactly as it is examined today.
