Scrum Master certification is invaluable for professionals who aim to mentor their teams effectively in Agile practices. The certification program equips Scrum Masters with advanced skills in coaching and guiding teams, fostering an environment of continuous learning and improvement.

Scrum Masters play a critical role in mentoring their teams and fostering an environment of continuous learning and improvement. Through their guidance, Scrum Masters help team members enhance their Agile and Scrum skills, ensuring the team understands and adheres to Scrum principles. This mentorship extends to facilitating effective communication, resolving conflicts, and promoting a collaborative team culture. By leveraging their expertise, Scrum Masters empower teams to achieve higher productivity, innovation, and project success, ultimately contributing to the overall growth and development of the organization.

Mentoring sessions are designed to align closely with the principles and practices outlined in the SBOK, ensuring a deep understanding of Scrum framework essentials. Mentors offer personalized insights, clarify concepts, and provide practical tips for navigating certification exams. By leveraging the SBOK guide as a foundational resource, mentors empower candidates to grasp theoretical knowledge and apply it effectively in real-world scenarios. This mentoring approach not only enhances proficiency in Scrum methodologies but also cultivates confidence and readiness for professional certification assessments.

SCRUM training for several certification exams (including SMC®, SPOC®, SAMC™, and ESMC™) should preferably be conducted in classrooms or through virtual instructor-led sessions. It is important for every SCRUMstudy™ faculty to be an expert in the particular SCRUMstudy™ certification he or she is teaching, and be very familiar with the concepts in the SBOK® Guide. It is also important for the faculty to be a good teacher have adequate soft skills to handle different situations in a class, and consistently deliver very high-quality training.

Process for becoming an accredited SCRUMstudy™ Certified Trainer (SCT®):

  1. Trainers need to have at least 2 years of relevant work experience and should be willing to share their experiences in the classes they teach.

  2. They need to successfully pass any three SCRUMstudy™ certification exams (out of SDC®, SMC®, SAMC™, and SPOC®), including the certification course that they wish to teach.

  3. They need to be aware of the training resources available on the SCRUMstudy™ A.T.P. site (including videos, handbooks, recordings of past training sessions, etc). SCRUMstudy™ will provide substantial training resources that A.T.P.s and Trainers can customize and use for their classes - the training resources will focus more on SCRUM concepts rather than on how to pass SCRUMstudy™ certification exams. Other than the training resources available in SCRUMstudy™, additional custom content may need to be developed by individual A.T.P.s or Trainers.

  4. All Trainers should be associated with a SCRUMstudy™ A.T.P.

Once trainers complete the above requirements, they need to apply to SCRUMstudy™ to become an accredited trainer (mentioning the details of the A.T.P. with whom they are associated). Accredited Trainers will be certified as "SCRUMstudy™ Certified Trainers (SCT®s)" - and they will be awarded an accreditation certificate making them eligible to train students for SCRUMstudy™ certifications. They should train only for the A.T.P.s with whom they have got associated.

To ensure a high-quality learning experience for all our students, trainers need to consistently get high rankings in student feedback forms. SCRUMstudy™ will regularly ask for feedback from students who attend classes conducted by SCRUMstudy™ A.T.P.s Faculty who receive unfavorable feedback must work on improving their course delivery, or their accreditation as SCT®s may be terminated. SCRUMstudy™ reserves its right to terminate any SCT® from continuing training for SCRUMstudy™ classes because of poor feedback or for other reasons.
