    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 option that best suits you or your team.

    Exam

    What is the format of the CSM exam?

    The CSM exam is an open-book, online, single-answer multiple-choice test taken through the Scrum Alliance member portal after you complete the course. It has 50 questions and no proctor is required.

    How long is the exam and what is the pass mark?

    You have 60 minutes to answer the 50 questions, and the pass mark is 74%, which means at least 37 correct answers. 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. Because the exam is open book, most well-prepared learners pass on the first attempt.

    Is the CSM exam open or closed book?

    The CSM exam is open book. You can refer to your materials and the Scrum Guide during the online exam, so the focus is on understanding and applying Scrum rather than memorisation.

    When can I take the exam after the course?

    You can access the online CSM exam through your Scrum Alliance member account within 90 days of completing the course. There is no separate test centre visit; the exam is taken online at a time that suits you.

    Course Content

    What topics does the CSM course cover?

    The course covers the six Scrum Alliance CSM learning objective areas: Scrum theory and principles, the Scrum values, the Scrum team, Scrum events, Scrum artifacts, and the Scrum Master role, all aligned to the current Scrum Guide.

    Do I need prior experience to take the CSM course?

    No. There are no formal education or work experience prerequisites, so the course is beginner friendly. It suits those new to Scrum as well as professionals wanting to formalise Scrum knowledge they already use at work.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive Scrum Alliance-aligned courseware, industry case studies illustrating facilitation, coaching and impediment removal, and exam-aligned practice questions. These help you connect Scrum concepts to real delivery scenarios.

    Is the courseware aligned to the latest Scrum Guide?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the November 2020 Scrum Guide, the current edition, and to the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives, so you learn the framework exactly as employers and the exam expect it.

    How long is the CSM training programme?

    The CSM programme runs for 16 hours of instruction, delivered as two full days or four half-days depending on the schedule. This exceeds the Scrum Alliance minimum contact-hour requirement for the course.

    Who should take the CSM course?

    The course suits aspiring Scrum Masters, project managers moving to agile, developers, testers and business analysts formalising Scrum knowledge, and team leads facilitating delivery. No prior Scrum certification is required to enrol.

    Can I reschedule my batch after enrolling?

    Yes. You can reschedule or transfer to another batch subject to our published policy, and selected plans include flexible attendance options. Contact our support team to arrange a change.
