    Can a beginner take this course without agile experience?

    Yes. The CSM has no formal work experience or education requirement, so beginners are welcome. The course builds your understanding of Scrum from the ground up, and hands-on facilitation exercises help you apply it with confidence.

    How long is the CSM course and how is it delivered?

    The CSM programme runs for 16 hours, usually as a two-day intensive or across four half-days, delivered live virtual or in a classroom by a Certified Scrum Trainer. Both formats meet Scrum Alliance course requirements.
