Servant Leadership

As a Scrum Master, you are a problem solver, teacher, and guardian of Agile working according to Scrum. As a servant leader, you ensure that the Scrum Team collaborates optimally for the best results. With this Scrum Master training, you learn both theory and practice. Our Scrum Master course has become the most chosen Agile training for professionals looking for a course to certify themselves professionally and internationally as a Scrum Master in HR, Marketing & IT.

After completing the Scrum Master training:

  • you have insight into Agile thinking and Scrum.
  • you understand why and how Scrum works for all kinds of projects.
  • you know how to get the best out of your team as a Scrum Master with servant leadership.
  • you can organize and set up Scrum meetings.
  • you are able to define the roles and responsibilities within a Scrum project and determine how those roles are filled within the team.
  • you are certified worldwide as a Scrum Master.
If you want to develop into a servant leader who advises, facilitates and coaches Scrum teams. You also want to learn why Agile working leads to better results faster. If your company is switching to Agile working according to Scrum, you can implement this.
  • An inspiring Scrum Master training with lots of practical exercises alongside theory.
  • A group of at most 8 participants.
  • An enthusiastic Agile Scrum trainer with lots of practical experience.
  • Knowledge & experience with tools for collaborating in online teams.
  • The English Scrum Body of Knowledge and the Scrum Master workbook.
  • Access to a personal e-learning, online learning environment with apps for your phone and tablet.
  • Including exam -to be taken after the training- to certify yourself internationally as a Scrum Master.

Depending on your knowledge and practical experience, we have three options for you to train and certify yourself: the hybrid training, the online training and an e-learning track.

Hybrid training

For those with little or no experience with Scrum, our hybrid training is a complete and solid foundation:

  • You receive the course material at home a few days before the training.
  • On the first and second half training day (both from 09:00 to 13:00) you log in to our Virtual Classroom via your laptop. With a maximum of 7 other participants, interaction is guaranteed.
  • Together with the other participants as a Scrum team, you follow the practical workshop day (from 09:30 to 16:30) physically at our location in Haarlem or Antwerp. During this workshop you practice and experience how Scrum theory comes to life in practice and what it's like to be a Scrum Master in practice.
  • You get a personal online e-learning environment for your laptop and tablet. With this you can further master the material using video material and quizzes and plan and take your exam.

Online training

If you already have a lot of practical experience as a Scrum Master but would like to learn the theory interactively with others or refresh your knowledge, an Online training is your best choice.

  • A few days before the training you receive the written course material at home.
  • At the beginning of the training day you log in at home via your laptop or desktop to our Virtual Classroom. The training day is from 09:00-13:00. Because you can see and talk to each other and there are a maximum of 7 other participants, interaction is guaranteed, just like in a real Scrum team.
  • After the training day you get a personal online e-learning for your laptop and tablet. Here you can further master the material using video material and quizzes and take your exam if you want.

The new way of working is partly at home, partly on location. Our hybrid Scrum Master training fits seamlessly with this and thus encompasses the best of both worlds; the interactivity of a physical training with the flexibility and convenience of an online track.

During the hybrid training you combine two half days of interactive online theory with a full day workshop on location, where you apply the role of Scrum Master in practice.

This means:

  • you need to travel less and the two interactive half days can be combined with other activities,
  • you can effectively and quickly progress to your certifying exam,
  • there is a start guarantee for the date you register, study material is sent to your home and
  • because our groups are never larger than a real Scrum team, interactivity is guaranteed both online and physically.

Then you probably want to get your certificate as quickly as possible and our e-Learning Scrum Master Certified is probably perfect for you.

If you register for the Hybrid training:

  • you follow the theoretical part of the training via our Virtual Class on Wednesday and Thursday morning from 09:00 to 13:00
  • and also the practical workshop day from 09:30 to 17:00 at our location in Amsterdam at the Keizersgracht, Haarlem at Nieuwe Gracht 3 or in Antwerp at Franklin Rooseveltplaats: all within walking distance of the central station and with good parking facilities.

If you register for an Online training:

  • you follow the training via our Virtual Class on Wednesday and Thursday from 09:00 to 13:00.

And of course you can also take the training in-company on request

With the Scrum Master exam you certify yourself as an official and recognized Scrum Master. At the end of the first training day you get access to a personalized e-learning environment. You will find a lot of video material here so that you can watch parts of the training again at a later time. You also take the exam via the e-learning environment to certify yourself as a Scrum Master.

You can choose between two major internationally recognized Scrum Master certificates: Scrum Master Certified (SMC) and Professional Scrum Master abbreviated as (PSM).

Of these, SMC is the most generic, not specifically IT-oriented, certificate. PSM from scrum.org is, partly due to its history, more IT-oriented. The Scrum theory needed to obtain both certificates is the same. In general, the PSM exam questions are slightly more IT-oriented.

For this complete training you pay € 1145 (excl. VAT) and yes, that includes:

  • Yes and this temporarily INCLUDES AI Basics Training worth €245

Frequently Asked Questions

A Scrum Master is a facilitator and coach within a Scrum team. The Scrum Master ensures the team applies Scrum correctly, removes obstacles that hinder the team, and coaches the team towards self-organization and continuous improvement.

The Scrum Master is not a project manager or team leader in the traditional sense, but a servant leader who helps the team work as effectively as possible. Read more in our comprehensive article What is a Scrum Master?

The main tasks of a Scrum Master are:

  • Facilitating: Guiding Scrum events such as Daily Scrum, Sprint Planning, Sprint Review and Retrospective
  • Coaching: Helping the team grow in Agile practices and self-organization
  • Removing obstacles: Identifying and solving problems that hinder the team
  • Protecting: Shielding the team from external disruptions
  • Improving: Stimulating continuous improvement within the team and organization

To become a Scrum Master, you typically go through the following steps:

  1. Learn the basics: Familiarize yourself with the Scrum framework by reading the Scrum Guide
  2. Take a training: Follow a recognized Scrum Master training like our two-day SMC training
  3. Get certified: Take the SMC exam to validate your knowledge
  4. Gain experience: Apply your knowledge in practice, possibly first as a team member in a Scrum team
  5. Keep learning: Scrum Masters continue to develop through communities, conferences and follow-up trainings

No, there is no specific prior knowledge required for our Scrum Master training. We start with the basics and systematically build up to more advanced topics.

It is helpful if you have some work experience in a project environment and have an affinity for coaching, guiding and facilitating colleagues.

The training is suitable for both beginners and professionals who want to refresh or deepen their knowledge.

The Scrum Master and Product Owner have different, complementary roles within a Scrum team:

Scrum Master:

  • Focuses on the process and way of working
  • Coaches the team towards self-organization
  • Removes obstacles
  • Facilitates Scrum events

Product Owner:

  • Focuses on the product and value
  • Manages the Product Backlog
  • Determines priorities
  • Represents stakeholders

Both roles are essential for a successful Scrum team and work closely together.

You can choose between two internationally recognized certificates: Scrum Master Certified (SMC) from SCRUMstudy or Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) from Scrum.org.

SMC is the most generic certificate, not specifically IT-oriented. PSM I from Scrum.org is, due to its origins, more IT-oriented.

Both certificates are included in the price. After the training, you can indicate which certificate you prefer.

No. Scrum is not an IT methodology, but a framework for collaboration and value delivery.

Scrum is applied in product development, marketing, communications, HR and public organizations, among others. The focus is on collaboration, prioritization and customer value, not on technology or programming.

During the training, we work with practical examples that are understandable for both technical and non-technical professionals.

Yes, you can. Many of our participants have the training reimbursed by their employer. We send a business invoice to your employer if you indicate this on the registration form.
We work with small groups of maximum 8 participants. This ensures sufficient room for personal attention and interaction. Our trainers can respond to your specific situation and questions.
