    General

    What is the CSM certification and who is it for?

    The CSM is Scrum Alliance's foundational Scrum Master credential, validating your understanding of the Scrum framework, the Scrum Master role and the values that make Scrum teams effective. It is designed for aspiring Scrum Masters, developers, testers, business analysts and project managers moving into agile delivery.

    Is the CSM worth it for a career in Sydney?

    Yes. CSM is the world's most widely recognised Scrum Master credential and is valued across Sydney's banking, tech, telco and government sectors. Certified Scrum Masters in Sydney average around A$134,744 per year, with senior roles and agile coaches earning considerably more, so the credential offers a strong return.

    Which Scrum standard is the CSM based on?

    The CSM is aligned to the current Scrum Guide by Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland, the November 2020 edition, and the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives. The 2020 Scrum Guide introduced the Product Goal and framed the Sprint Goal and Definition of Done as commitments.

    How long is the CSM certification valid?

    CSM is valid for two years. To renew, you earn 16 Scrum Education Units (SEUs) within each two-year cycle and pay the Scrum Alliance membership renewal fee. SEUs can be earned through training, conferences, coaching and self-study.

    What is the next step after earning the CSM?

    The Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) is the next level in the Scrum Alliance Scrum Master track, covering deeper facilitation, coaching and stakeholder engagement. CSM is the mandatory prerequisite, and A-CSM also expects experience in a Scrum Master role after certification.

    Pricing

    How much does CSM training cost in Sydney?

    Is the CSM exam fee included in the training price?

    In most cases, yes. The Scrum Alliance online CSM exam fee is generally bundled into the course fee paid to the training provider. Confirm this when you enrol so there are no surprises, and ask your advisor about any membership renewal costs later on.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts for teams?

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

    The CSM exam has 50 multiple-choice questions and a 60-minute (one hour) time limit. It is open book, so you can refer to materials while you answer.

    What is the passing score for the CSM exam?

    You need 74% to pass, which means answering at least 37 of the 50 questions correctly.

    What happens if I do not pass on the first attempt?

    You typically have up to three attempts to pass the CSM exam within 90 days of completing the course, so there is room to review and try again. Verify the current attempt policy with Scrum Alliance when you register.

    Course Content

    The training covers the six Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objective areas: Scrum theory and principles, the Scrum values, the Scrum Team, Scrum events, Scrum artifacts and the Scrum Master role, all grounded in the current Scrum Guide.

    Can a beginner take this course without prior Scrum experience?

    Yes. CSM is an entry-level certification with no formal education or work-experience prerequisite. The course is designed for those new to Scrum as well as team members who want to formalise existing knowledge, with hands-on practice throughout.

    How is the CSM training delivered?

    The training is delivered as an instructor-led programme by a Certified Scrum Trainer, available online (live virtual) or onsite for teams. Scrum Alliance requires at least 14 contact hours, and the programme runs over a structured two-day schedule or an extended format.
