Our Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) course is about broadening your toolkit and deepening your skills to more effectively improve one or more Scrum Teams – especially in ambiguous and difficult situations.

A-CSM takes you beyond understanding Scrum to learn the skills necessary to be an effective Scrum Master or team-oriented Agile Coach. It equips you with specific techniques for teaching, facilitating, coaching, structured impediment resolution and much more.

Practice skills such as coaching and impediment analysis using real world challenges.

Course Information:

During our A-CSM you will expand the stances that you work across, add techniques to your facilitation, teaching, coaching, impediment resolution, conflict management and organisational change toolkits. Learn how to accelerate team development and address limitations related to technical practices, scaling approaches and hybrid working.


Our A-CSM is a exercise-based learning experience focused on skills acquisition to help you to take your leadership of Agile capability building to the next level. It builds on your learning and experience since you completed your CSM course.

For Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches, A-CSM training orients you with the breadth and depth of skills that you will need to successfully take a team beyond the basics toward high performance.
