Become a CSM - the original & most globally recognised Certified ScrumMaster accreditation. Uniquely designed training course by internationally acclaimed author, and run by TWO of the most experienced instructors in Australia.
Certified Scrum Master (CSM) - The Original & Most Globally Recognised Agile Certification
The Certified Scrum Master (CSM) is not only the original Agile certification but it is also without question the most globally recognised. With a focus on process leadership, the CSM teaches new Scrum Masters highly pragmatic, real-world patterns, techniques, tools and tips to help them lead Scrum teams.
The CSM is governed by the peak industry body, the Scrum Alliance. Home to the largest network of professional Scrum practitioners in the world – the Scrum Alliance applies the most stringent trainer certification process in the industry to ensure that you receive truly world-class Scrum and Agile training.
The previous in-person attendance requirement stipulated by the Scrum Alliance has been lifted to accommodate the current situation and we are excited to be able to offer our Certified Scrum Master training session, virtually.
Our Virtual-Online course (laptop or desktop with Internet connection required) includes:
- Downloadable training materials
- Real-time instruction
- Relatable examples
The course will contain the same unique AxisAgile content and will also focus on how Scrum teams can collaborate remotely. The class size will remain limited to ensure all attendees are still able to effectively collaborate with each other and with both trainers. Completed in real time, attendees will work together in small teams and learn not only from the trainers but also through discussion in breakout sessions, exercises, targeted games and simulations.

You get not one, but TWO instructors!
Our courses are led by two highly experienced and acclaimed instructors who are super energetic, passionate and funny (some would say at least...). Training with two instructors ensures a broader variety of war stories, more dynamic delivery, not to mention more parallel processing power to answer all questions thrown at us!
