It suits aspiring Scrum Masters, project managers moving to agile, and developers, testers or analysts formalising their Scrum knowledge.

    General

    What is the CSM certification and who is it for?

    The CSM is Scrum Alliance's entry-level Scrum Master certification. It validates your understanding of the Scrum framework, the Scrum Master role and the five Scrum values. It suits aspiring Scrum Masters, project managers moving to agile, and developers, testers or analysts formalising their Scrum knowledge.

    Is the CSM worth it for professionals in Calgary?

    Yes. Scrum Master roles in Calgary average around CA$124,000 a year, with senior roles reaching CA$150,000 or more, as energy, banking and technology employers scale agile delivery. The CSM is also the most widely recognised Scrum Master credential worldwide. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your path.

    Which standard and framework is the CSM based on?

    The CSM is aligned to the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives and the current Scrum Guide, the November 2020 edition by Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland. Scrum Alliance is the governing body, and the course is delivered by a Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Trainer (CST).

    Do I need to attend a course to earn the CSM?

    Yes. Attendance at an approved CSM course delivered by a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) is mandatory. The online CSM exam cannot be accessed without completing an approved course, so self-study alone does not qualify.

    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 every two years. SEUs can be earned through courses, conferences, coaching, teaching and self-study.

    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. The CSM is the mandatory prerequisite, and A-CSM also requires at least 12 months in a Scrum Master role after earning the CSM.

    Pricing

    What is included in the CSM course fee in Calgary?

    The fee typically covers Scrum Alliance aligned courseware, live sessions with a Certified Scrum Trainer, industry case studies, access to the online CSM exam and a two-year Scrum Alliance membership on passing. Request a quote for full inclusions in your chosen format.

    How much does CSM training cost in Calgary?

    CSM training pricing varies by delivery format and schedule and is available on request. Live virtual and classroom options are priced separately, and group rates apply for teams. Contact a learning advisor for current Calgary batches and a tailored quote.

    Is the CSM exam fee included in the training price?

    The CSM exam is taken online through the Scrum Alliance portal after the course, and the exam is typically included in the course fee paid to the training provider. Confirm the exact inclusions for your enrolment when you request a quote.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts for CSM training?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for delivery teams, IT functions and transformation groups. Contact us for a tailored group quote for your organisation in Calgary.

    What payment methods and instalment options are available?

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

    Exam

    What is the format of the CSM exam?

    The CSM exam has 50 multiple-choice questions and a 60-minute time limit. It is open book and taken online through the Scrum Alliance member portal after you complete an approved course, with no proctor required.

    What is the passing score for the CSM exam?

    The passing score is 74%, which means answering at least 37 of the 50 questions correctly. The exam tests knowledge and comprehension across the six CSM topic areas in the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives.

    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 approved course. If you do not pass first time, our preparation support and open-book format help you succeed on a later attempt.

    When and how do I take the CSM exam?

    You access the CSM exam online through your Scrum Alliance member account within 90 days of course completion. It is delivered without a proctor, so you can sit it at a time that suits you inside that window.

    Which syllabus is the CSM exam based on?

    The exam is based on the current Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives, aligned to the Scrum Guide (November 2020 edition). Topics span Scrum theory and principles, values, the Scrum Team, events, artifacts and the Scrum Master role.

    Course Content

    What topics does the CSM course cover?

    The course covers the six CSM topic areas: Scrum Theory and Principles, Scrum Values, the Scrum Team, Scrum Events, Scrum Artifacts and the Scrum Master Role. You learn empiricism, servant leadership, facilitation and impediment removal.

    Can a beginner take the CSM course?

    Yes. The CSM is an entry-level credential with no formal education or work experience prerequisite. It is designed for those new to Scrum as well as practitioners who want to formalise knowledge they already apply on delivery teams.

    How long is the CSM training programme?

    The programme runs for 16 hours, delivered as two full days or four half-days depending on the schedule. This exceeds the Scrum Alliance minimum contact-hours requirement and is led by a Certified Scrum Trainer.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive Scrum Alliance aligned CSM courseware and industry-driven case studies covering facilitation, coaching and impediment removal in realistic delivery scenarios, plus guidance on approaching the online exam.
