    General

    What is the Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) certification?

    The Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) is Scrum Alliance's entry-level Scrum Master certification. It validates your understanding of the Scrum framework, the Scrum Master role and the values that make Scrum teams effective, and it is the most widely recognised Scrum Master credential worldwide.

    Is the CSM worth it for professionals in Barbados?

    Yes. As Barbados grows its fintech, banking and technology sectors, employers increasingly run agile delivery and value certified Scrum Masters. A CSM helps you stand out for Scrum Master and delivery roles and signals globally recognised skills. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your path.

    Who should take the CSM course?

    The CSM suits aspiring Scrum Masters, developers and testers formalising their Scrum knowledge, project managers moving to agile delivery, and team leads. There is no formal education or work-experience requirement to attend.

    Which standard is the CSM based on?

    The CSM is aligned to the current Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives and the November 2020 Scrum Guide by Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland, which introduced the Product Goal and the three commitments.

    How long is the CSM valid and how do I renew it?

    The CSM is valid for two years. To renew, you earn 16 Scrum Education Units (SEUs) and pay the Scrum Alliance membership renewal fee within each two-year cycle.

    What is the next step after the CSM?

    The Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) is the next level in the Scrum Alliance Scrum Master track, covering advanced facilitation and coaching. The CSM is the mandatory prerequisite, and A-CSM also asks for at least 12 months in a Scrum Master role.

    Pricing

    How much does CSM training cost in Barbados?

    CSM course fees vary by format and schedule, and the Scrum Alliance exam fee is normally included in the course fee paid to the training provider. For current Barbados pricing, request a quote from a learning advisor.

    What is included in the CSM course fee?

    The fee typically includes Scrum Alliance aligned courseware, instruction by a Certified Scrum Trainer, case studies, practice questions and access to the online CSM exam after course completion. A two-year Scrum Alliance membership is included on passing.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    For the CSM, the Scrum Alliance exam fee is usually bundled into the course fee paid to the training provider, so there is no separate exam charge. Confirm the details for your enrolment with our team.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate CSM training with customised schedules and group pricing for teams across Barbados. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a tailored quote.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose what suits you.

    Exam

    What is the format of the CSM exam?

    The CSM exam is an open-book, online, multiple-choice test taken through the Scrum Alliance member portal after you complete an approved course. It has 50 single-answer questions.

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

    The CSM exam has 50 multiple-choice questions and a time limit of 60 minutes (one hour). It is open book and taken online without a proctor.

    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 the first time?

    Candidates typically have three attempts to pass the CSM exam within 90 days of completing the course. If you do not pass at first, your practice resources and trainer guidance help you succeed on a later attempt.

    Do I have to attend a course to sit the CSM exam?

    Yes. Scrum Alliance requires you to complete an approved CSM course delivered by a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) before the online exam is unlocked. Self-study alone does not qualify.

    Do I need prior experience to take the CSM course?

    No. The CSM is an entry-level certification with no formal prerequisites, so beginners are welcome. The trainer builds concepts from first principles, and the sessions suit both those new to Scrum and those formalising existing knowledge.

    How long is the CSM training programme?

    The programme runs for 16 hours of instruction, delivered as two full days or four half-days depending on the schedule, which exceeds the Scrum Alliance minimum contact-hours requirement.
