As Agility is a journey of never-ending learning and improving experience, you would take this course together with many experienced people in Agile/Scrum, from developers, Scrum Masters to Product Owners.

Yes, you can. We do not have any prerequisites for this course. For your references, some of our participants work in the following occupations:
Team leaders: Project Manager, Lead Programmer, Lead Software Engineer, and so on.
Senior managers: Chief Executive Officer, Head of Department, and so forth.

Q6: Is the certificate by Scrum Alliance® accepted widely?
Yes, it is. Scrum Alliance®, the first organization for Scrum certification with the history started from 2001 by the Agile movement pioneers, is one of the most well-known and influential organizations in the field of providing Agility and Scrum knowledge. Moreover, Scrum Alliance® is also a community of the biggest and talented network of Scrum, Agile, and IT professions.
Q7: Why should I take this course when I am already a Scrum Master? Is it worthy of getting the certificate?
A certificate is a form of knowledge confirmation. The value of the certificate is widely recognized and highly appreciated as it is issued by Scrum Alliance®. CSM® certificate is the standard that Vietnamese and international leading software companies need in a Scrum Master to solve complex problems successfully. By getting your CSM® certificate in Viet Nam, you are showing your own flexibility to potential employers in having more than just one way of helping them organize and deliver projects and products effectively. Moreover, you would be able to support them with the vision of “Transforming the World of Work”, as well as assist them on the constant journey of learning and improving. In practice, outside factors and “flexible adaptation” without control have broken Scrum’s core principles and values, which in turn, leads to Scrum team ineffectiveness and failure. Statistically, we have found that 80% of Scrum Master with 3-4 years of experience joining the collaboration course between Scrum Alliance® and Axon Active Viet Nam did not pass the Scrum Master role test. In such cases, CSM®'s purpose is to help Scrum Master fulfill their mission, as well as support Development Team and Product Owner applying Scrum appropriately.
Q8: What are the conditions I have to meet in order to get the CSM® Certificate?
To be able to acquire the CSM®Certificate, you are first required to attend the CSM® course accepted by Scrum Alliance®. After finishing the course, you have to pass the online test on Scrum Alliance® website in order to receive the certificate.
Q9: Why is your course 3 days while other courses are usually 2?
Our unique course is fitted into 3 days in an effort to optimize the knowledge and practice you need to equip yourself with about the world of Scrum and Agile. By having more time, you will have more opportunities to exchange interesting experienceswith your trainers, other leaders, project managers, which opens the possibility of getting a deeper and wider understanding, as well as unique takeaways that you’ll find helpful in your daily work routine later on.
Q10: There is also a certificate called PSM. If I get a CSM®, do I need to take PSM additionally?
It is fully up to you. There is no requirement of having two certificates at the same time.
Q11: What are the differences between CSM® and PSM I?
Both certificates are offered for people who wish to be a Scrum Master. CSM® is issued by scrumalliance.org, and PSM is issued by scrum.org. Remarkably, in order to conduct the online evaluation test, the CSM® required you to attend a live (online or offline) class where you will learn with Certified Scrum Trainers® and experience real-life Scrum Master’s experience. On the other hand, PSM I does not require you to do so, which can cause certification devaluation due to being certified too easily with payment and an online test without confirmation of knowledge origins.
Q12: Why should I choose CSM® over PSM I?
Both certifications are globally recognized and accepted with an aim to certify future Scrum Masters. However, there are some highlights in CSM® that you should not miss out on:
CSM® was the first certificate available in the field of Scrum and is the most famous and widely recognized.
There is an ever-growing community of over 220,000 Certified ScrumMasters.
You have to attend a live (online or offline) class approved by Scrum Alliance® before conducting the evaluation test. This is an effort to avoid certificate devaluation due to being certified too easily with payment and an online test without officiating from where the knowledge is gained.
In class, you not only acquire the knowledge but also learn from the trainers’ practical experience and that of other practitioners. Your study will be featured with discussion, interactive activities, and specific examples along the way to help you grasp what’s been offered in the most successful way.
