Frequently Asked Questions

A‑CSM certification is an advanced credential from Scrum Alliance that builds on your foundational Scrum Master skills, helping you deepen your facilitation, coaching, conflict resolution and team leadership capabilities to drive better Agile outcomes across teams and organizations.

This training is designed for Scrum Masters who already hold a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) credential and want to advance their real‑world Scrum practice, take on more strategic responsibilities, and grow into senior Agile leadership roles.

Yes, to earn the A‑CSM certification you must already hold a CSM certification and have at least 12 months of Scrum Master work experience logged with Scrum Alliance within the last five years.

You’ll learn advanced Scrum skills such as effective team facilitation and coaching, handling resistance and conflict, improving team engagement, mentoring teams and stakeholders and scaling Scrum practices beyond single teams.

The training is conducted live online by experienced Certified Scrum Trainers (CSTs) using interactive sessions, real‑world examples, group discussions, and exercises that help you apply advanced Scrum techniques.

Unlike foundational Scrum certifications, A‑CSM does not require a formal exam; certification is awarded after successfully completing the accredited training and fulfilling the experience requirement stipulated by Scrum Alliance.
