Scrum.org was formed by Ken Schwaber in 2009 after he left Scrum Alliance. Candidates must demonstrate a fundamental level of Scrum mastery, understand Scrum as described in the Scrum Guide, and be able to apply Scrum principles in Scrum teams, according to Scrum.org.
Though there’s no formal prerequisite for candidates who want to sit for an exam, the material tested is difficult, and candidates won’t pass unless they’re well-versed in Scrum principles and have on-the-job experience or they attended, well - this Masterclass.
Scrum.org recommends taking a training course to gauge knowledge and areas of strength and weakness before sitting for an official assessment — what Scrum.org calls its certification exams — to improve the chances of success.
Here are some tips for all those who want to prepare for the exam on their own - Professional Scrum.org Product Owner I and Professional Scrum Master I and to earn a certificate from the organization www.Scrum.org
This certification body is Scrum Alliance. You must attend two days of official onsite training (it is mandatory). With this training, you have one attempt for the exam included. The exam is almost impossible to fail. The first two years of certification are included in the price. Scrum Alliance courses are the essential first step on your Scrum Journey to earn an in-demand certification.
Are you facing SEU certification renewal and wondering if your outside courses qualify for Scrum Education Units?

Whether you hold a foundational CSM, an advanced A-CSPO, or a professional-level CSP certification, this lecture walks you through the complete SEU certification renewal process, from understanding what qualifies as valid learning activities to logging your hours in the Scrum Alliance dashboard.
You'll learn about the honesty system, discover real examples of how 8-hour and 42-hour courses translate to SEUs, and get strategic tips for making your continuous learning work smarter, not harder.
By the end of this session, you'll have a clear action plan to confidently claim your SEUs from any quality educational source and maintain your certification status with ease.

So, I don't want to overwhelm you with too many books.
Here is just one Scrum Book review.
I started with this book, and I learned WHAT AND WHY.
So if it's possible, get this book, read it and then continue with the course. Of course, you can continue without it...

By the end of this 13 minute session, you will have the first principles reasoning skill that transforms confusing exam questions into obvious answers, giving you the confidence to pass your Scrum certification on the first attempt without expensive training courses.

If you want to go for a profitable Scrum and Agile career and have all the necessary skills needed to start with the right sources and tools I encourage you to click on my profile picture and check my other courses on Udemy related to Agile and Scrum.
Most people who fail PSM I or PSPO I don't fail because they lack intelligence. They fail because they studied the wrong way.
They memorize definitions instead of understanding principles. They read the Scrum Guide once and hope for the best. They walk into a 60-minute exam without practicing under pressure.
This course fixes that.
You get a focused preparation system built around how Scrum org actually tests you. Not theory dumps. Not fluff. Just the knowledge, practice, and exam tactics that get you certified on your first attempt.
What You Will Learn
How to interpret tricky scenario questions that trip up most test-takers, including the ones where two answers seem correct.
The complete Scrum framework explained in plain language: roles, events, artifacts, and how they connect in real teams.
A 30-minute crash module that gives you working knowledge of Scrum faster than any textbook.
100 practice questions with detailed explanations showing why correct answers are correct and why wrong answers are wrong.
How to choose between Scrum org and Scrum Alliance certifications, and how to self-study without spending thousands on training.

Why Students Choose This Course
It respects your time. No 20-hour course packed with filler. You get targeted content you can complete in a single focused weekend.
It prepares you for the real exam. The practice questions mirror actual PSM I difficulty and question styles, including the scenarios that make people second-guess themselves.
It goes beyond the test. You leave with practical knowledge for contributing to Scrum teams from day one, not just a certificate.
No prerequisites. Complete beginners and experienced professionals both get value. Start wherever you are.
What Makes This Different
Most certification prep courses either overwhelm you with content or give you a question bank with no context.
This course takes a different approach. Every concept connects to exam reality and workplace application. You understand not just what Scrum is, but why each element exists and how examiners test your understanding of it.
The 30-minute crash module alone has helped students who felt completely lost gain enough clarity to pass within days.
