    Yes. Jacksonville employers such as FIS, Bank of America and Florida Blue run large agile programs, and Scrum Masters here earn around $97,780 on average, rising above $120,000 with experience. The CSM helps you stand out for these roles. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your path.

    Who should take the CSM course?

    The course suits aspiring Scrum Masters, developers, testers and business analysts on Scrum teams, and project managers moving into agile delivery. No prior Scrum experience is required, so it works for both beginners and practitioners who want a recognized credential.

    Is the CSM recognized by employers in Jacksonville?

    Pricing

    How much does CSM training cost in Jacksonville?

    CSM training pricing is available on request and varies by format and schedule. The Scrum Alliance online exam is typically taken after course completion, and passing includes a two-year Scrum Alliance membership. Request a quote for current Jacksonville batches.

    What is included in the CSM course fee?

    The fee typically includes Scrum Alliance aligned courseware, a Certified Scrum Trainer led course, industry case studies, exam readiness support, and the two-year Scrum Alliance membership granted on passing the exam. Ask us for the full inclusions for your plan.

    Exam

    What is the format of the CSM exam?

    What is the passing score for the CSM exam?

    You need 74% to pass, which means answering at least 37 of the 50 questions correctly. The open-book format lets you refer to materials, but broad understanding of the Scrum framework is the best preparation.

    How many attempts do I get for the CSM exam?

    Candidates typically have up to three attempts to pass the CSM exam within 90 days of completing the course. Our trainer guidance and practice questions are designed to help you pass on your first attempt.

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

    Yes. Attending an approved CSM course delivered by a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) is mandatory. The Scrum Alliance online exam is unlocked only after you complete the course, so self-study alone does not qualify.

    The exam is based on the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives, aligned to the current Scrum Guide (the November 2020 edition by Schwaber and Sutherland). It covers Scrum theory, values, the team, events, artifacts and the Scrum Master role.

    Course Content
