About this course
A preparation course for the Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) certification from Scrum Alliance, with a timed 40-question practice exam (40 minutes, 80% pass mark) and the Scrum Guide to study alongside it.
A-CSM has no official exam: you earn it by holding a CSM, completing an approved A-CSM course with a Scrum Alliance educator and validating 12 months of Scrum Master work experience within the last five years. Use this course to prepare before the class, to consolidate what you learned after it and to get ready for experienced Scrum Master roles.
The exam covers the A-CSM learning areas: Lean, Agile and Scrum; facilitation and coaching; serving the Scrum Team; serving the Product Owner; serving the organisation; and Scrum mastery. Its 40 original questions are mostly scenarios that ask for judgement, and none is taken from the free test.
Each answer has an explanation that says why it is right and why the tempting alternative is wrong, grounded in the Scrum Guide 2020 and in common complementary practices such as working agreements, coaching stances and limiting work in progress.
You can retake the exam as often as you like, and your results are saved in your account. Questions are in English; explanations are also available in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Italian.
