    Is the CSM worth it for professionals in Plovdiv?

    Yes. Scrum Master is one of Plovdiv's most in-demand agile roles, with local salaries averaging around EUR 32,800 and rising past EUR 41,000 for senior roles. As IT, outsourcing and smart-manufacturing employers scale agile, a recognised Scrum credential is a clear advantage. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your path.

    Yes. The CSM is the world's most widely recognised Scrum Master credential, with over one million certificates issued. It is valued by employers across Bulgaria and globally, from Plovdiv outsourcing firms to multinationals in the Trakia Economic Zone.

    How long is the CSM certification valid?

    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. SEUs can be earned through training, events, coaching and self-study.

    Pricing

    How much does CSM training cost in Plovdiv?

    CSM training fees in Plovdiv are available on request and vary by format, whether live virtual, classroom or corporate group training. The fee typically bundles the course, courseware and access to the Scrum Alliance online exam. Request a quote for current pricing in euros.

    What is included in the CSM course fee?

    The course fee typically includes Scrum Alliance aligned courseware, Certified Scrum Trainer led sessions, case studies, exam guidance and, on passing, a two-year Scrum Alliance membership. The CSM exam fee is usually included in the course fee paid to the training provider.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    In most cases, yes. For CSM the online exam fee is typically included in the course fee paid to the training provider, and passing includes a two-year Scrum Alliance membership. Confirm the exact inclusions when you request your quote.

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for delivery teams, PMOs and transformation programmes in Plovdiv and across Bulgaria. Contact us for a tailored group 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 the option that 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 the course. It has 50 questions and a 60-minute time limit, and no proctor is required.

    What is the passing score for the CSM exam?

    The passing score is 74%, meaning you must answer at least 37 of the 50 questions correctly. The exam is based on the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives and the current Scrum Guide.

    How many attempts do I get for the CSM exam?

    Candidates typically have three attempts to pass the CSM exam within 90 days of completing the course. The exam is accessed online through your Scrum Alliance member account.

    Do I have to attend a course before taking the exam?

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

    What happens if I do not pass the first time?

    You have up to three attempts within the 90-day window after the course, and the open-book format works in your favour. Our trainer guidance and practice help you prepare so most candidates pass early. Ask a learning advisor about our exam support.

    Do I need prior experience to take the CSM course?

    No prior experience is required. The CSM is a foundational certification with no education or work-experience prerequisites, making it suitable for beginners as well as professionals already working in Scrum teams.

    How long is the CSM training?

    The CSM programme runs for 16 hours, delivered as two full days or four half-days depending on the schedule. This meets Scrum Alliance's minimum contact-hour requirement for an approved CSM course.
