Watch this short video for an introduction to the Scrum Master Certified Exam Prep!
The AI only does the intro. Craig Teaches these Courses
Scrum Master Certified (SMC®) professionals have a practical, working knowledge of Scrum that equips them to implement and work in a Scrum environment. The purpose of the exam is to confirm the applicants have achieved sufficient understanding of how to apply Scrum in the projects and to tailor Scrum in a particular scenario.
SMC® professionals are facilitators who ensure that the Scrum Team is provided with an environment conducive to completing the project successfully. The Scrum Master guides, facilitates, and teaches Scrum practices to everyone involved in the project; clears impediments for the team; and, ensures that Scrum processes are being followed. Successful candidates will be awarded the Scrum Master Certified (SMC®) certification by SCRUMstudy™ after passing the certification exam.
The aim of the SMC® course is to:
• Provide an understanding of the principles in the Scrum framework
• Provide a practical working knowledge of Scrum including roles, meetings, and artifacts.
• Prepare participants to be comfortable with implementing Scrum in their organizations.
• Prepare participants to take SMC® exam upon completion of the course.
At the end of this course the delegate will be prepared for the SMC® exam

This certification is appropriate for anyone who is interested in working as a Scrum Master or for someone who is already a Scrum master in his organization. Scrum Master is an important role in any Scrum team and need not be a technology expert to be effective. Moreover, although Scrum is popular in the IT industry, it can be used effectively across different industries. The SBOK® Guide, on which the SMC course is based on, can be used as an effective guide for implementation.
There is no formal prerequisite for this certification. However, it is preferable to complete the Scrum Developer Certified (SDC®) certification before applying for the Scrum Master certification. It is also highly recommended to attend a 2-day SMC® classroom training provided by a SCRUMstudy™ approved Authorized Training Partner (A.T.P.)
Delegates will readily be able to recognize, define, and work with the concepts, advantages, and challenges of the Scrum Framework.
Delegates will be prepared to play the role of Scrum Master in their organizations and help their organizations adopt the Scrum Framework. Furthermore, delegates will develop an understanding of the other roles in Scrum.
Delegates will participate in role-plays, during which they carry out a Scrum project.
Delegates will gain knowledge pertaining to, and the ability to anticipate issues related to the practical implementation of Scrum.
Delegates will be armed with the proper tools to address, resolve, and take the lead on Scrum issues in their organizations.
Delegates will be provided access to an online exam. After passing the exam, each delegate's certificate will be mailed to him or her.
We promise a highly engaging course that ensures high retention of concepts and theories.
Students are encouraged to work through the concepts rather than just listen to them—this provides better internalization and retention.
Students work through a case study to simulate product development using the Scrum Framework.

Reach out to me and Craig will Answer Your Questions!
We designed this training at different levels because people have different needs, budgets, and time constraints. Our goal is to make this as easy as possible for you to learn and become certified as a Scrum Master.
We have a ton of materials for you to use and we are convinced that if you take advantage of the learning opportunities you will pass the ScrumStudy SMC Exam the first time, but you have 3 tries. If you go through all the steps and do not pass the exam we will give you 100% money back.
As your potential Change/Project/Agile coach and future colleague we both have to meet and build a long-term trusting relationship. This is an easy way to start that process. Love me or not, we will both have to trust each other. In the future you will be able to contact me, use me to help build your brand, etc. Plus this is how we will build our community together to help solve problems in the future. I'm committed to helping you and being a trusted part of your personal/professional team.
I have tons of training and low overhead, therefore we do not have to charge as much as others. However, we do have a team that can't work for free.
Craig says, "I've been the mentor for many people. Then one day a person who I was mentoring, would always introduce herself to our clients as me being her mentor.... then put her hand to the side of her mouth, as if she was telling a secrete, and say, "He's my tormentor." It stuck. That and my passion for all things Change. After that, I became "The Change tor-Mentor." But it fits, because with every good mentor there is a little push involved and a good relationship always has a little bit of humor mixed in to make things fun."
