Growing Scrum Masters

I have experience as a Scrum Master, do I still need to do the CSM before the ACSM?

Train + Certify in Scrum / by

If certification is important to you, then yes, you will need to do the CSM course before doing the ACSM course.

There is nothing preventing you from joining the ACSM course, however, we simply cannot award the Advanced Certified certification to you if you don’t have a CSM credential.

The Scrum Alliance insist that delegates first obtain the Certified certification before they can be awarded an ACSM certification.

That said, we do occasionally have people on the Advanced Certified course that do not have any interest in being certified.

Their priority is the learning and skills development element so if you fall into that category, feel free to enroll for the ACSM.

I would love to have you on the course.

Certified course

If you have experience as a but have yet to do the Certified course, you will derive a lot of value from the experience.

Sometimes, going back to basics and learning from a solid foundation can help bridge the gap in your skill set and at other times, potentially introduce new forms of learning that you did not receive in your organic growth as a .

We do have experienced scrum masters who enroll for the Certified course, and it is always a pleasure having them there.

Their experiences combined with the questions they pose and the interactions they have within the CSM course create a unique experience for everyone on the course.

Their perspective helps shape the learning experience in a valuable way.

It can also be valuable for experienced s to pose questions during the course about challenges they have experienced or are currently experiencing.

As an experienced Scrum practitioner, Agile coach, and Certified Scrum Trainer, I am able to give you the kinds of insights that you may not have access to in your current environment.

In doing so, I also provide the rest of the course delegates with valuable insights and recommendations that will help them in their journey.

Insights and recommendations they may never have received had it not been for the presence of experienced s on the course.

Visit the Certified or Advanced Certified course pages for more information on the course, costs and learning outcomes.
