    The Scrum Master Skills You Will BuildPractical Capability, Not Just Theory

    This CSM course builds the practical skills a Scrum Master needs, grounded in the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives and the current Scrum Guide. By the end, you can facilitate every Scrum event, coach a self-managing team, and apply the Scrum values with confidence.

    Scrum Theory and Empiricism

    Skills covered in the CSM course start with the empirical foundations of Scrum: the three pillars of transparency, inspection and adaptation, and why Scrum thrives in complex work. You learn to apply empirical process control to real delivery.

    Living the Five Scrum Values

    Understand how commitment, focus, openness, respect and courage shape effective teams, and how a Scrum Master models these values to build trust, psychological safety and honest communication.

    Facilitating the Five Scrum Events

    Learn to facilitate the Sprint, Sprint Planning, the Daily Scrum, the Sprint Review and the Sprint Retrospective, keeping each within its timebox and focused on the Sprint Goal.

    Managing Scrum Artifacts and Commitments

    Work with the Product Backlog and Product Goal, the Sprint Backlog and Sprint Goal, and the Increment and its Definition of Done, using them to create transparency across the work and the product.

    Serving as a Servant Leader

    Understand the Scrum Master's accountability and its three service areas, to the Scrum Team, the Product Owner and the wider organisation, leading by enabling and coaching rather than directing.

    Coaching Self-Managing Teams

    Build practical facilitation and coaching techniques, from retrospective formats to impediment removal and conflict resolution, that help a cross-functional team manage its own work.

    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 and practices that make Scrum teams effective. It is the most widely recognised Scrum Master credential in the world.

    General

    What is the Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) certification?

    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 and practices that make Scrum teams effective. It is the most widely recognised Scrum Master credential in the world.

    Is the CSM worth it for professionals in Bratislava?

    Yes. Bratislava's service centres, banks and software firms are scaling agile delivery, and certified Scrum Masters are in short supply. Scrum Master roles commonly pay around €3,300 gross a month, with senior and coach roles higher, so a CSM can strengthen both your prospects and your earning potential.

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

    Yes. Attendance at an approved CSM course delivered by a Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) is mandatory. The online exam cannot be accessed without completing an approved course, which is why Invensis Learning delivers the programme through a CST.

    How long is the CSM certification valid?

    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 and self-study.

    Who should take the CSM course?

    The CSM suits aspiring Scrum Masters, project managers moving into agile delivery, and developers, testers or team members who want to formalise their Scrum knowledge. There is no formal education or work-experience requirement to attend.

    Pricing

    How much does CSM training cost in Bratislava?

    CSM training fees vary by format and schedule, and the Scrum Alliance exam is typically included in the course fee paid to the training provider. For current pricing on live virtual, classroom and corporate options, request a quote from a learning advisor.

    What is included in the CSM course fee?

    The course fee usually includes Scrum Alliance aligned courseware, industry case studies, practice questions, the online exam following course completion, and a two-year Scrum Alliance membership on passing. Confirm the exact inclusions with our team before enrolling.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    For the CSM, the exam fee is typically included in the course fee paid to the training provider, as the exam is unlocked through your Scrum Alliance member portal after you complete an approved course. Ask a learning advisor to confirm for your chosen option.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for teams, departments and agile practices in Bratislava. Contact us for a tailored group quote.

    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 option that suits you.

    Exam

    What is the format of the CSM exam?

    The CSM exam has 50 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 60 minutes. It is open book and taken online through the Scrum Alliance member portal after you finish an approved course, with no proctor required.

    What is the passing score for the CSM exam?

    The passing score is 74%, meaning you must answer at least 37 of the 50 questions correctly. Because the exam is open book, focus on understanding the Scrum framework rather than memorising answers.

    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, our first-attempt guidance and course materials help you prepare and try again within that window.

    When can I take the CSM exam after the course?

    You can take the online exam within 90 days of completing your approved CSM course. Log in to your Scrum Alliance member portal, where the open-book exam is unlocked once your course completion is recorded.

    What standard is the CSM exam based on?

    The exam is based on the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives and aligned to the current Scrum Guide, the November 2020 edition by Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland. It covers Scrum theory, values, the team, events, artifacts and the Scrum Master role.

    Course Content

    What topics does the CSM course cover?

    The course covers six areas: Scrum theory and principles, the five Scrum values, the Scrum team, the five Scrum events, the three Scrum artifacts, and the Scrum Master role. It is aligned to the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives.

    Do I need prior Scrum experience to take the course?

    No. The CSM is an entry-level certification with no prerequisites, so beginners are welcome. The course builds your knowledge from Scrum fundamentals, while also formalising the experience of those already working in Scrum teams.

    Who delivers the CSM course?

    The course is delivered by a Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Trainer (CST), as Scrum Alliance requires. This ensures the curriculum is consistent, high quality and aligned to the official CSM Learning Objectives.

    Is the courseware aligned to the latest Scrum Guide?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current Scrum Guide, the November 2020 edition, which introduced the Product Goal, the Sprint Goal as the commitment of the Sprint Backlog, and the Definition of Done as the commitment of the Increment.

    What materials and practice are included?

    You receive Scrum Alliance aligned course materials, industry-driven case studies on facilitation and coaching, and practice questions mapped to the open-book, 50-question exam format to build your readiness.

    Enrollment

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

    What training formats are available?

    We offer online (live virtual) instructor-led training, classroom training, and customised corporate group training, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule and learning preference.

    How long is the CSM course?

    Yes. Flexi options let you reschedule or move to another batch where available. Contact our support team to arrange a transfer that works around your commitments.

    What support do I get after the training?
