LEARNING ON A HIGH NOTE
The A-CSM Certification is designed for
Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches who:
- have already gained some practical experience (at least 12 months)
- want to deepen their understanding of Scrum and further develop their role
- work in complex, hybrid, or non-textbook environments
- want to extend their impact beyond their own team – e.g., toward management, scaling, or organizational development
The training is particularly helpful for you if you:
- sometimes struggle with your role – or are looking for the next step in your development
- want to combine methodological knowledge with attitude, reflection, and tools
- want to exchange ideas with other experienced practitioners and grow together
- want to learn how to act confidently in new situations outside of your previous experience
Through intensive engagement with real-life cases, you will develop a broader repertoire of options for action. The official A-CSM certificate from the Scrum Alliance not only documents your continuing education, but also makes your growing competence and experience visible to teams, organizations, and the market.
Prerequisite: A CSM certificate (whether valid or expired) and at least 12 months of practical experience as a Scrum Master.

What They Say About Us
Jens took us on a valuable journey through the do’s and don’ts of a Product Owner’s life. I learned very much new stuff although having lots of experience as Scrum Master, so I would not have wanted to miss this great new perspective on Scrum and how it can unfold its power.

Das Training zum Product Owner war sehr hilfreich für meine tägliche Arbeit als Product Manager. Ich habe wertvolles Wissen sowie Tools und Tipps mitgenommen, die ich direkt vertiefen und umsetzen werde. Das Training war klar strukturiert, aufeinander aufbauend, kurzweilig und interaktiv gestaltet. Der Erfahrungsaustausch mit den anderen KursteilnehmerInnen war besonders interessant.

War alles in allem ein super Kurs, mit viel Bezug zur Praxis und die tägliche Arbeit. Ich war vor einigen Jahren bei einer anderen Organisation und habe inhaltlich den gleichen Kurs belegt, aber dieser Kurs bei Sebastian war sehr viel besser.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Training FAQ
In which language is the training conducted?
We offer our trainings in either German or English.
What’s included in an on-site training?
To keep you energized throughout the day, we provide tea, coffee, and other refreshments, plus snacks and a communal lunch—all included in the price.
What do I need for a remote training?
We use Miro as a shared whiteboard, and the training itself takes place on Zoom (or Microsoft Teams for in-house sessions). You’ll have the most fun if you have a stable internet connection, a good mic and camera, and a comfortable space where you can focus.
How quickly do I get my certificate?
It depends on your training:
- If you attend a Certified Scrum Master (CSM) training, you need to pass an online test afterwards in order to get the certificate. The training prepares you very well for the test, and you can also retry.
- For all other certificates (e.g. CSPO, A-CSPO, etc), there is no exam needed and you’ll get the certificate usually on the day after the training.
Wait—are certificate and fees already included in the price?
Yes! You’ll receive your certificate from the Scrum Alliance, the gold standard for agile trainings worldwide. A two-year Scrum Alliance membership—with all its benefits—is also included. The only requirement is that you attend both full training days without frequently stepping out for other meetings.
Can I start working in my role right after the training?
This training prepares you perfectly to apply to your role right away. It’s designed to fit your day-to-day work as closely as possible, so you can hit the ground running.
Is the training more theory or practice?
We like to call our sessions “trainings with a workshop character.” There are a few essential theoretical basics you shouldn’t miss, but most of the training is hands-on and interactive. We share real stories and examples from our work as agile team coaches and organizational coaches. Our goal is for you to walk away after two or three days ready to jump right in.
A free half-hour of individual coaching?
Exactly! To help you put everything new into practice with your team, you’ll get a 30-minute one-on-one coaching session after the training. Pretty cool, right?
What if I need to step out of the training halfway through?
Well, if it’s really urgent, you could miss an hour and we’ll catch you up later in the evening. However, you’ll get the most benefit if you can fully dedicate those days to the training. So, consider arranging for a substitute during the training, or reschedule the training for a time that’s not so hectic for you.
Do you also help companies implement Scrum?
All the time. Sometimes we start with individual teams, but we also love to look at the bigger picture and work with you to figure out how to scale agility in a way that fits your organization. Scrum, Kanban, OKRs, SAFe, Flight Levels … it always depends on the context. Just set up a free (but priceless) consultation and introduction call with us below.
Can I book a training for my entire team?
Absolutely! Whether you’re just getting started or already in the thick of it, it really brings a team together when everyone attends the same training and learns how Scrum roles, responsibilities, and teamwork fit their needs. In such cases, we tailor the agenda even more to your specific challenges. It’s a real advantage that our trainers regularly work with teams, so you can see firsthand what works well in other organizations. Check out our contact form below.
