Agile Scrum: the Scrum Master course in Amsterdam

The Scrum Master course at Learnit takes two consecutive days. You are taught in a classroom setting by an experienced trainer in a small group. The course materials, the Scrum games and the publication 'Succes met Scrum' are included. The optional Exin Scrum Master exam is taken online by yourself and falls outside the course. For the current price, see the course page.

No specific prior knowledge is required for the Scrum Master course. It is useful, however, if you have an affinity with project-based working or lead teams. The course is aimed at team leaders, project managers, senior team members and anyone who fulfils or aspires to the role of Scrum Master. Basic knowledge of Agile is an advantage, but the course starts with a general introduction to Scrum.

Learnit's Scrum Master course is taught in the classroom by an experienced trainer. You work in a small group on a Scrum project and learn the material through Scrum games and practical exercises. This face-to-face delivery format means you gain practical experience straight away and can discuss questions directly with your trainer and fellow participants.

With the Scrum Master course you receive various Scrum games and the publication 'Succes met Scrum' as course material. Afterwards you receive a certificate of attendance from Learnit. If you would also like to obtain an official certificate, you can sit the Exin Scrum Master exam online from home. Please indicate this in the comments field when you book.

The Scrum Master course is intended for team leaders, project managers and senior team members who fulfil the role of Scrum Master or are in line to do so. You are also welcome if you simply want to learn more about the tasks and responsibilities of a Scrum Master. You work in the classroom on a real Scrum project, so you gain practical experience within a team straight away.

Yes, the Scrum Master course can be taken in-company at a location of your choice. That is worth considering if you want to train a whole team at once or tailor the content to a current project. The course is taught in the classroom by an experienced trainer, with Scrum games that let you gain practical experience straight away within your own context.

A project manager steers on schedule, budget and scope, and assigns tasks to team members. A Scrum Master works differently: you do not direct, you facilitate. You guide the team, safeguard the Scrum process and remove impediments that hold the team back. Responsibility for what is built lies with the Product Owner. How it is built lies with the team itself. In Learnit's Scrum Master course you learn this servant leadership attitude through Scrum games and a simulated Scrum project. Specifically, you practise facilitating the Sprint planning, the daily standup, the Sprint review and the retrospective. Choose this course if you want to move from classic project management to a role in which you coach teams rather than direct them.

The Scrum Guide is a document of around 13 pages that describes the framework, but offers no practical experience. In this classroom-based course you practise the Scrum Master role through a real Scrum project and Scrum games. You go through a Sprint planning, daily standup, Sprint review and retrospective yourself, under the guidance of an experienced trainer. You also learn how to remove impediments and work with the Product Owner. These are situations you cannot practise from a text. You receive the book 'Succes met Scrum' as a reference work. Self-study is sufficient if you only want to understand the framework. This course is intended for when you are actually going to fulfil the role and want feedback on your own behaviour in the Scrum events.
