    General

    What is the CSPO certification and who is it for?

    The Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) is an entry-level Scrum Alliance credential that teaches you to maximise product value through the Product Owner role in Scrum. It is designed for product managers, business analysts, delivery leads and anyone stepping into or formalising the Product Owner role.

    Is the CSPO worth it for product professionals in Durban?

    Yes. Scrum Product Owner roles in Durban average around R826,000 a year and rise past R1 million with experience, and retail, software, BFSI and logistics employers across KwaZulu-Natal increasingly prefer candidates with a recognised Scrum credential. The CSPO gives you that globally recognised qualification.

    Is the CSPO recognised by employers in South Africa?

    Yes. The CSPO is a globally recognised Scrum Alliance credential valued by employers across South Africa and worldwide, including retail head offices, software houses, banks and logistics organisations that run agile product teams.

    No. There are no formal education or work experience prerequisites for the CSPO. The course suits both newcomers to Scrum and experienced practitioners who want to formalise their product ownership knowledge.

    How long is the CSPO valid and how do I renew it?

    The CSPO is valid for two years. You renew it by earning 16 Scrum Education Units (SEUs) and paying the Scrum Alliance membership renewal fee within each two-year cycle. SEUs can be earned through training, events and other learning activities.

    Pricing

    What is included in the CSPO course fee?

    The fee typically includes Scrum Alliance aligned courseware, live instructor-led training, learning resources and learner support, plus the CSPO credential and a two-year Scrum Alliance membership awarded on course completion. Request a quote for the current inclusions.

    How much does CSPO training cost in Durban?

    Pricing varies by training format and schedule, so the current fee is available on request in South African rand. Speak with a learning advisor for live online and classroom options and any upcoming offers.

    Is there a separate exam fee?

    No. The CSPO has no examination, so there is no separate exam fee. The credential is awarded by Scrum Alliance on successful completion of the approved course, and the two-year membership is included.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for product, digital and delivery teams. Contact us for a tailored group quote for your team.

    What payment options are available?

    After you complete the course, you accept the Scrum Alliance licence agreement through your member account, and the CSPO credential is activated along with a two-year Scrum Alliance membership and a digital badge.

    Who delivers the CSPO course?

    CSPO courses are delivered by Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Trainers, which keeps the curriculum aligned to the official Scrum Alliance learning objectives and the Scrum Guide. Self-study without an approved course does not qualify for the credential.

    You will learn Scrum theory, the Product Owner role and accountability, product vision and the Product Goal, Product Backlog management, stakeholder collaboration and value, and release planning, all aligned to the Scrum Alliance learning objectives.

    Does the course cover writing user stories and backlog ordering?

    Yes. The course covers writing effective user stories, applying the INVEST criteria, refining the Product Backlog, and ordering work by value, risk and dependencies using techniques such as MoSCoW and the Kano model.

    Is the training hands-on and practical?

    Yes. The training is interactive and built around real product scenarios, exercises and discussion, so you can apply backlog management, stakeholder engagement and value techniques to your own work.

    Which version of the Scrum framework does the course follow?

    The course is aligned to the current Scrum Alliance CSPO learning objectives and the latest Scrum Guide, which introduced the Product Goal as the Product Backlog commitment and clarified the Product Owner's accountabilities.

    How long does the course take?

    The CSPO course is typically delivered over a short, focused schedule in live online or classroom format. Once you complete the full course, you qualify for the credential. Contact us for current durations and batch timings.
