  • General details about Scrum.org Certifications7:11

    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.

Scrum Alliance courses are the essential first step on your Scrum Journey to earn an in-demand certification.

Requirements

  • There are no prerequisites for this Scrum Certification Course.

Description

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.

  • Practical guidance for landing your first Scrum Master or Product Owner role, even if you have zero Agile experience today...


Course Structure

Section 1: Certification Strategy (1 hour 5 minutes): How the exam actually works. Comparison of certification bodies. Self-study paths that save money. Book recommendations. 100 curated questions with full explanations.

Section 2: Learn Scrum in 30 Minutes (30 minutes) The entire framework in one sitting. Artifacts, values, roles, events, and empiricism pillars. Built for clarity, not for padding runtime.

Section 4: Product Management Essentials (8 minutes) Backlog creation and prioritization aligned with the latest Scrum Guide.

Total: 4 sections, 27 lectures, approximately 2 hours 18 minutes.


Who This Course Is For

  1. People preparing for PSM I or PSPO I who want structured, efficient preparation instead of scattered free resources.

  2. Career changers who need a credible certification to break into Agile roles without prior experience.

  3. Working professionals who want to apply Scrum principles at their current job, not just pass a test.

  4. Busy people who need results in hours, not weeks.


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.
