    The Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) is Scrum Alliance's entry-level Scrum Master credential, validating your grasp of the Scrum framework, the Scrum Master role and the values that make teams effective. It suits aspiring Scrum Masters, developers, testers and project managers moving into Scrum delivery.

    General

    What is the CSM certification and who is it for?

    The Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) is Scrum Alliance's entry-level Scrum Master credential, validating your grasp of the Scrum framework, the Scrum Master role and the values that make teams effective. It suits aspiring Scrum Masters, developers, testers and project managers moving into Scrum delivery.

    Is the CSM worth it for professionals in Skopje?

    Yes. CSM is the world's most widely recognised Scrum Master credential and is valued across Skopje's nearshore software, fintech and telecoms employers. As firms mature their agile delivery, certified Scrum Masters stand out in a market with far more developers than credentialed agile leads.

    Which body awards the CSM certification?

    Scrum Alliance awards the CSM certification. Training must be delivered by a Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Trainer (CST), and the credential is grounded in the current Scrum Guide (November 2020) and the official Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives.

    How long is the CSM certification valid?

    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, conferences, coaching 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 requires experience in a Scrum Master role after earning CSM.

    Pricing

    How much does CSM training cost in Skopje?

    CSM training fees vary by format and are available on request in local pricing. The fee typically bundles the Scrum Alliance course, courseware and the online CSM assessment. Request a quote or speak with a learning advisor for current pricing and group rates.

    What is included in the CSM course fee?

    The fee usually includes Certified Scrum Trainer led instruction, Scrum Alliance aligned courseware, practice materials, the online CSM assessment, and a two-year Scrum Alliance membership on passing. Learner support and a course completion record are also included.

    Is the CSM assessment fee included in the price?

    Yes. The CSM online assessment is normally included in the course fee paid to the training provider, and a two-year Scrum Alliance membership is added on passing. Confirm the exact inclusions for your chosen batch when you enrol.

    Do you offer group or corporate rates for CSM training?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for single teams, departments or whole delivery organisations. Contact us for a tailored quote for your team in Skopje.

    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 assessment is a 50-question, multiple-choice online exam taken through the Scrum Alliance member portal after you complete an approved course. It is open book, so you can refer to materials, and it is delivered online without a proctor.

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

    The CSM exam has 50 questions and a time limit of 60 minutes (1 hour). It is open book and taken online via the Scrum Alliance portal within 90 days of completing your course.

    What is the passing score for the CSM exam?

    You need 74% to pass, which means answering at least 37 of the 50 questions correctly. The exam tests knowledge and comprehension of the Scrum framework across the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives.

    What happens if I do not pass the CSM exam first time?

    You typically have up to three attempts to pass within 90 days of completing your course, so there is room to revise and retry. Our trainers guide you through the material to help you pass with confidence. Verify the current attempt policy at scrumalliance.org.

    Do I have to attend a course to sit the CSM exam?

    Yes. Attendance at an approved CSM course delivered by a Certified Scrum Trainer is mandatory, and the exam unlocks only after you complete it. Self-study alone does not qualify you for the CSM assessment.

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the CSM training?

    The training covers the six Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives: Scrum theory and principles, the five Scrum values, the Scrum Team, the five Scrum events, the three Scrum artefacts, and the Scrum Master role, all aligned to the current Scrum Guide.

    Can a beginner take the CSM course?

    Yes. CSM has no formal education or work-experience prerequisite, so beginners are welcome. The course builds from Scrum fundamentals through practical facilitation, making it suitable whether you are new to Scrum or formalising knowledge you already use.

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

    The CSM programme runs for 16 hours, delivered as two full days or four half-days by a Certified Scrum Trainer. You can join live virtual (online) instructor-led sessions or onsite classroom training, whichever fits your schedule.

    Which Scrum Guide edition is the course based on?

    The course is aligned to the Scrum Guide (November 2020), the current edition, which introduced the Product Goal, the Sprint Goal as a commitment of the Sprint Backlog, and the Definition of Done as a commitment of the Increment. Courseware follows the official CSM Learning Objectives.

    What materials and practice are provided?

    You receive Scrum Alliance aligned courseware, case studies on facilitation and impediment removal, and practice aligned to the 50-question assessment format. Sessions are hands-on, with exercises on Scrum events, artefacts and coaching.
