    Exam

    What if I do not pass the CSM exam first time?

    There is room to try again. Candidates typically have up to three attempts to pass within 90 days of completing the course, and our guided practice is designed to help you pass on the first attempt. Verify the current attempt policy on the Scrum Alliance portal.

    What is the format of the CSM exam?

    The CSM exam is a 50-question, multiple-choice, open-book test taken online through the Scrum Alliance member portal after you complete the course. No proctor is required.

    Course Content

    Do I need prior experience to take the CSM course?

    No. There is no formal education or work-experience requirement, so the course suits those new to Scrum as well as team members formalising existing knowledge. Trainer-led practice helps beginners build confidence before the exam.

    What topics does the CSM training cover?

    The course covers six areas from the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives: Scrum theory and principles, the five Scrum values, the Scrum Team, the five Scrum events, the Scrum artifacts, and the Scrum Master role.

    What materials and practice are included?

    You receive Scrum Alliance aligned courseware, real-world case studies on facilitation and impediment removal, and practice questions mapped to the exam format to support your revision and readiness.

    Is the courseware aligned to the latest Scrum Guide?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current Scrum Guide, the 2020 edition, and to the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives, so you learn concepts such as the Product Goal and the commitments introduced in that edition.
