THE TRAINING EXPERIENCE
There are three parts of the training experience, and you have control of all of them:
First, the prerequisite e-learning class (CSM-LO). You will take an online class that teaches you about Scrum Mastering and verifies that you have achieved the Learning Objectives the Scrum Alliance has established. You will learn about the three main topics in Scrum: People, Product, and Process.
Second, you are required to take four 4-hour Sessions, which we call 4x4s, conducted by our Trainers. These sessions cover a variety of topics (People, Product, Process, Extras), and there is an agenda for each. We hold 4x4 Sessions frequently, typically between 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM Eastern. We encourage you to take all four topics, and if you miss one or more, you can make them up.
Third, Scrum Study Guide CSM Test Prep class (a $199 value). You will take a short, online, class preparing you for the Scrum Alliance Test. It has a short description of scrum, two sample tests, and an organized collection of excerpts from the Scrum Guide and the Agile Manifesto that is guaranteed to contain all the information you need to pass. There is no surprise that our student’s pass rate is so high! Along with this course, you will receive a PDF of the “Scrum Study Guide Test Prep”, which contains the contents of this class.

If you would like to become a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM), you will need to attend a CSM course taught by an approved trainer. After the course, you will be eligible to take the Certified ScrumMaster exam. Upon successful completion of the exam, you will receive your certification.
After completing your CSM course, your instructor will notify the Scrum Alliance that you are now eligible to take the exam. You will then receive an email from Scrum Alliance that includes a link to create your login credentials. The first step will be to take the exam. The exam is online and non-proctored, so you can take it at your convenience from your home or work anytime within 90 days of your course. Once the test is complete, you will be asked to accept a license agreement and setup your online profile. It typically takes 1-2 days after course completion to receive your welcome email from the Scrum Alliance. Please note, although you have 90 days during which to take your exam, you must take the exam in its entirety during one sitting. You will not be able to stop and restart the exam.
Although 3Back students have a pass rate of over 99%, in the event that you should need to retake the exam, a second attempt is included at no cost. Additional attempts are $25 each. Please be aware that the exam is designed and administered by the Scrum Alliance. While we have done our best to provide the most up to date information, we do suggest checking the Scrum Alliance directly for additional details or confirmation of the above.
