    What Our Learners Say

    Passed and Moved into a Scrum Master Role

    Formalised Years of Agile Experience

    "I had been working in agile teams for years without any formal training. The CSM course gave structure to what I already did and filled the gaps around facilitation and the Scrum values. The open-book exam felt straightforward after the sessions."

    A Smooth Switch from Waterfall to Scrum

    "Moving from traditional project management into Scrum was easier than I expected. The case studies on impediment removal and sprint facilitation were practical and mapped directly to how our teams work. Good balance of theory and real examples."

    Project Manager

    Consistent Scrum Practice Across Our Teams

    "We trained two delivery teams through the corporate programme. The onsite sessions were tailored to our automotive context, and afterwards our sprints ran with far more consistency. The shared Scrum vocabulary made a noticeable difference to our stand-ups and retrospectives."

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    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. It suits aspiring Scrum Masters, developers and testers in agile teams, and project managers moving into Scrum.

    General

    What is the CSM certification and who is it for?

    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. It suits aspiring Scrum Masters, developers and testers in agile teams, and project managers moving into Scrum.

    Is the CSM certification worth it in Munich?

    Yes. Scrum Master roles in Munich average around 85,000 euros a year and rise above 106,000 euros at senior level, and employers such as BMW, Siemens, Allianz and Munich Re increasingly expect a Scrum Alliance credential. It is one of the strongest agile qualifications you can hold in the local market.

    Is the CSM recognised in Munich and across Germany?

    Yes. The Certified ScrumMaster is the world's most widely recognised Scrum Master credential, with over one million certificates issued globally. Scrum Alliance operates worldwide, so the CSM is valued by Munich employers and internationally across every sector that runs Scrum teams.

    Do I need prior experience to take the CSM course?

    No. There is no formal education or work-experience requirement for the CSM. The course is designed for professionals new to Scrum as well as those who want to formalise existing agile knowledge, so beginners are welcome alongside experienced practitioners.

    How long is the CSM certification valid?

    The CSM is valid for two years. To renew it, 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, conferences, coaching, teaching and self-study.

    What is the next step after CSM?

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

    Pricing

    What is included in the CSM course fee?

    The fee covers instructor-led training delivered by a Certified Scrum Trainer, Scrum Alliance aligned courseware, case studies and practice questions, access to the online CSM exam through the Scrum Alliance portal, and a two-year Scrum Alliance membership on passing. Request a quote for full details.

    How much does CSM training cost in Munich?

    CSM training in Munich is priced in euros and varies by format, whether live virtual, classroom or corporate group training. Exact pricing is available on request. Talk to a learning advisor for current batches and a quote that fits your needs.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    Yes, for the CSM the exam fee is typically included in the course fee paid to the training provider, because the Scrum Alliance exam is unlocked only after you complete an approved course. Confirm the exact inclusions with our team when you enrol.

    Do you offer corporate or group discounts for CSM training?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for teams and departments across Munich. Contact us for a tailored quote for your organisation.

    What payment 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 best.

    Exam

    What is the format of the CSM exam?

    The CSM exam is an open-book, multiple-choice test taken online through the Scrum Alliance member portal after you complete an approved course. It is single-answer format and requires no proctor, so you can sit it at a time that suits you within the access window.

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

    The CSM exam has 50 multiple-choice questions and you have 60 minutes to complete it. Because it is open book, you can refer to materials during the exam, though solid preparation during the course makes it far more comfortable.

    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 course prepares you well above this threshold across all six topic areas of 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 course. If you do not pass at first, you can review the topics and retake within that window, so there is little pressure on any single attempt.

    Which standard is the CSM exam based on?

    The CSM exam is based on the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives and aligned to the current Scrum Guide by Schwaber and Sutherland, the November 2020 edition. Our courseware follows this current standard, so what you study matches how Scrum teams work today.

    Course Content

    What topics does the CSM training cover?

    The training covers the six CSM topic areas: Scrum theory and principles, the five Scrum values, the Scrum team, the Scrum events, the Scrum artifacts, and the Scrum Master role. You also practise facilitation techniques and prepare for the online exam.

    Do I need to attend a course to get CSM certified?

    Yes. Scrum Alliance requires attendance at an approved CSM course delivered by a Certified Scrum Trainer before you can access the exam. Self-study alone does not qualify. Our instructor-led course meets this requirement and unlocks the online exam on completion.

    How long is the CSM course?

    The CSM course is a 16-hour programme, delivered as two full days or four half-days depending on the schedule. This exceeds the Scrum Alliance minimum contact hours and gives you time to work through the framework and practise facilitation.

    Are practice questions included in the training?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions aligned to the 50-question, open-book exam format, along with case studies on facilitation, coaching and impediment removal. These help you identify weak areas and build confidence before you sit the exam.

    Is the courseware aligned to the latest Scrum Guide?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current Scrum Guide, the November 2020 edition, and to the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives. You learn the Product Goal, the Sprint Goal as a commitment, and the Definition of Done as they appear in the current standard.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in the CSM course in Munich?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete payment, and you receive access to schedules, Scrum Alliance aligned courseware and learning resources. Talk to a learning advisor if you would like help choosing a batch.

    What training formats are available?

    We offer online (live virtual) instructor-led training, onsite classroom training, and customised corporate group training for teams. Each format is led by a Certified Scrum Trainer, so you can choose the option that fits your schedule and learning style.

    How soon can I start the CSM course?

    New batches run regularly in live virtual and classroom formats for Munich professionals. Availability depends on the format you choose, so see upcoming schedules or talk to a learning advisor to book the next convenient date.

    What happens after I complete the course?

    After completing the course, you access the CSM online exam through your Scrum Alliance member account within 90 days. Once you pass and accept the licence agreement, you receive your CSM credential, digital badge and a two-year Scrum Alliance membership.

    Can I reschedule or transfer my enrolment to another batch?

    Yes. Flexi options let you reschedule or transfer to another batch if your plans change, and selected plans allow you to attend the training again. Contact our support team to arrange this.
