Frequently Asked Questions

There is no single "best" Product Owner training for everyone. The best choice depends on what matters to you, such as certification (PSPO I or SPOC), group size, training format (online, classroom or hybrid), location, reviews and any money-back guarantee. Use the comparison table above to determine which provider best suits your situation.
The price of a Product Owner training in the Netherlands is usually between approximately €1,100 and €1,500 (often including exam), depending on the provider and what is included. Consider things like guidance, course materials, exam voucher(s), location, group size and extra practice materials. Always check the current price on the provider's website.
The most well-known Product Owner certifications are PSPO I (Scrum.org) and SPOC (SCRUMstudy/VMEdu). Both are used internationally, but recognition can vary by organization and sector. Many job postings simply ask for "Product Owner certification" in general. Therefore, choose a certification that fits your goals and work environment.
The Product Owner determines WHAT gets built and manages the Product Backlog. The Scrum Master focuses on HOW the team collaborates and ensures Scrum is properly applied. The PO maximizes product value, the SM optimizes the team process. Both roles are essential but complementary.
No, technical knowledge is not required for a Product Owner training. The role focuses on product vision, stakeholder management and backlog prioritization. It helps if you understand how the development team works, but you will learn this during the training as well.
