TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO SCRUM MASTER TRAINING

by NNFeb 1, 2022

this course is one of the most important courses in my career development as it helped me understand the process in building a functional solution.

by DCSep 7, 2022

Extremely informative course for beginners. Liked the short videos combined with reading material. Lecturer goes into detail and takes the time to explain each topic.

by MRMar 1, 2023

It's a well put together course material wise, however I would like it even more if I could actually see my instructor, just to give that sense of human connection.

by NOJul 24, 2022

The course is engaging and really I could not stop the program till I was done. I finished it in about 5 days, that is how much I enjoyed this particular training. Thank you so much!

About the Scrum Master Certification Specialization

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
