    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    The CSM exam is delivered by Scrum Alliance and is typically included in the course fee paid to the training provider, as the exam is unlocked only after completing an approved course. Confirm current inclusions when you request your quote.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for product teams, PMOs and transformation programmes across Azerbaijan. Contact us to discuss a tailored quote for your team.

    Exam

    What is the format of the CSM exam?

    How many questions are on the CSM exam and how long is it?

    The CSM exam has 50 multiple-choice questions and a time limit of 60 minutes. It is taken online through the Scrum Alliance portal, with no proctor required, within 90 days of completing your course.

    Do I have to attend a course to sit the CSM exam?

    Yes. Attendance at an approved CSM course delivered by a Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Trainer is mandatory. The online exam cannot be accessed until you complete the course, which is why self-study alone does not qualify.

    What materials and support are provided?
