This course is built around a Scrum Lego® City simulation that provides vivid and memorable experiences that tightly mirror those new teams experience when adopting Scrum in real life. It offers an intensive, highly interactive introduction to the principles and practices of Agile and the Scrum framework.
This two-day course is taught by the only Certified Enterprise Coach (CEC) and Certified Scrum Coach (CSC) in Canada. Participants receive the Certified ScrumMaster credential from the Scrum Alliance upon completion of the course and passing an online exam, as required by the Scrum Alliance.
*Please Note: The exam fees and the 2 year membership fees are all included as part of the course fees. The participant will have two attempts within 90 days after they receive their welcome email to pass the test at no cost. After two attempts or 90 days, you will be charged $25 for each additional attempt.
