    What is the passing score for the CSM exam?

    The passing score is 74%, meaning you need at least 37 correct answers out of 50. Because the exam is open book and knowledge based, broad understanding across all six topic areas is the best preparation.

    How many attempts do I get for the CSM exam?

    Candidates typically have up to three attempts to pass the CSM exam within 90 days of completing the approved course. If you do not pass at first, your trainer's guidance and the included practice help you succeed on a retake.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the CSM course?

    You will learn the Scrum framework across six topic areas: Scrum theory and principles, the Scrum values, the Scrum team, Scrum events, Scrum artefacts, and the Scrum Master role. The course builds practical facilitation, coaching and servant-leadership skills.

    What topics does the CSM training cover?

    Training covers empiricism and the three pillars, the five Scrum values, the three accountabilities, all five Scrum events with their timeboxes, the three artefacts and their commitments, and the Scrum Master's service to the team, Product Owner and organisation.

    Is the courseware aligned to the latest Scrum Guide?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current Scrum Guide (the November 2020 edition) and the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives, so you study the framework in its most up-to-date form.

    No prior experience is required. The CSM is an entry-level, foundational course suitable for those new to Scrum as well as practitioners formalising existing knowledge, with a Certified Scrum Trainer guiding you throughout.
