CSD Certification Training

A preparation course for the Certified Scrum Developer (CSD) certification from Scrum Alliance, with a timed practice exam of 40 questions in 40 minutes and an 80% pass mark, plus the Scrum Guide to study alongside it.

CSD has no standard public exam: you earn it by completing at least 14 hours of training with a Scrum Alliance-approved CSD trainer and passing the assessment that trainer sets, which may be an exam or a classroom-based evaluation. Use this course to prepare before it, to consolidate what you learned after it, and to get ready for developer interviews on agile teams.

The exam covers the CSD learning areas: Scrum for Developers, collaboration and shared ownership, Test-Driven Development, refactoring and clean design, Continuous Integration and delivery, and architecture and agile testing. Its 40 original questions are mostly short scenarios, and none are 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 pair programming, test doubles, feature toggles and acceptance tests written from examples.

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.
