Virtual Certified ScrumMaster Workshop - Half Day Option - Pacific Time -...

This course page promotes Rod Claar's Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) class, offered in both virtual and in-person formats. It's built for anyone on a product development team — from beginners to those who want to sharpen their Scrum skills.

Virtual training is highlighted for its flexibility, cost savings, and convenience — no travel required. New options include a half-now/half-later payment plan and a Gold Plan that bundles up to 8 hours of one-on-one coaching with the instructor in the 60 days after class.

What you'll learn covers the core of Scrum — why it works, the roles of the ScrumMaster and Product Owner, and how to handle real-world challenges when rolling out Scrum in an organization.

Organizations sending 3 or more people can take advantage of a customized Private Team Session.

Graduates earn 14 PDUs and gain access to the Scrum Alliance CSM exam — an online, open-book test. Passing it earns the official Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) credential.

The page closes with a bold promise: instructor Rod Claar, CST, will personally work with every student until they pass the exam — or until one of us dies!
