Questions students always ask.
What's the best CSM® class online?
One taught live by a Certified Scrum Trainer® in a class small enough that you take part, not just watch. Ours is capped at 15, taught by Giora Morein, and you take the exam in class on the last day.
Where can I take the CSM® course?
Live online, on Zoom, from anywhere. Every date on this page is a live class with Giora, in one of four formats: three half days, a weekend, four evenings or two full days.
Is there a weekend CSM® certification class online?
Yes. Weekend classes run Saturday and Sunday, live on Zoom, with the same 16 hours and the same exam as every other format. The next weekend dates are in the schedule above.
Is this a live online CSM® certification course?
Live online, with Giora in the room the whole time. Nothing is pre-recorded and there is no self-paced module. You spend a good part of each day in small breakout groups working through real Scrum problems.
Which CSM® class has the best reviews?
ThinkLouder classes hold a 4.9 rating from more than 5,500 verified reviews on Trustpilot, and you can watch graduates talk about the class on this page before you book.
Is the CSM® a good fit for project managers?
Yes, and many of our students are project managers. The class covers how the ScrumMaster role differs from managing a project, and Premium includes a PM-to-ScrumMaster career guide.
Is the cheapest CSM® class any good?
Every CSM® class ends in the same Scrum Alliance® certificate. What differs is class size, when you take the exam, how many attempts you get and what you leave with. Basic is $399; Premium, at $449, adds unlimited retakes, 1-on-1 tutoring, practice tests and a resume and LinkedIn rewrite.
How much does a CSM® class cost?
CSM® Basic is $399 and Premium is $449, all-in with no additional fees. Pro, with 60 days of 1-on-1 coaching with Giora, is $995.
When do I take the exam?
We recommend the last day of class, while it's fresh. The exam is online, on demand and runs in your browser, and you have 90 days to pass it.
Is the exam fee included?
Yes. Registration covers the exam and certification fees. Basic includes one free retake; Premium includes unlimited retakes and 1-on-1 exam tutoring.
Do I need prior experience?
No. We start from the basics, so Scrum, Agile and tech can all be brand new to you. Most classes mix experience levels, which is part of what makes them work.
Can I reschedule or cancel?
Yes to both, with no fees. Transfer to a different date whenever you need to, or cancel before class starts for a full refund.
What do I need to join?
A solid internet connection, a computer, a microphone and a webcam. Zoom runs in any modern browser, though the app works better.
