What value does the SCRUMstudy Trainer Certification provide in terms of career advancement and professional development?

SCRUMstudy Trainer Certification holds significant value for Agile professionals seeking to advance their careers in training and consultancy. This certification validates trainers' expertise in Scrum and Agile methodologies, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to effectively impart this knowledge to others. As SCRUMstudy certified trainers, professionals gain recognition and credibility within the Agile community and among organizations seeking quality Agile training. The certification not only enhances trainers' career prospects but also enables them to make a meaningful impact by fostering Agile adoption and success in diverse industries and organizational contexts.

SCRUMstudy Trainer Certification is designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to become certified trainers in Scrum and Agile methodologies. SCRUMstudy Certified Trainer (SCT) offers comprehensive training in Scrum principles, practices, and frameworks. It covers essential topics such as Scrum roles, events, artifacts, and Agile principles. Through a series of rigorous training modules and assessments, aspiring trainers learn how to effectively teach and facilitate Scrum training programs to professionals across various industries. 

SCRUM training for several certification exams (including SMC®, SPOC®, SAMC™, and ESMC™) should preferably be conducted in classrooms or through virtual instructor-led sessions. It is important for every SCRUMstudy™ faculty to be an expert in the particular SCRUMstudy™ certification he or she is teaching, and be very familiar with the concepts in the SBOK® Guide. It is also important for the faculty to be a good teacher have adequate soft skills to handle different situations in a class, and consistently deliver very high-quality training.

Process for becoming an accredited SCRUMstudy™ Certified Trainer (SCT®):

  1. Trainers need to have at least 2 years of relevant work experience and should be willing to share their experiences in the classes they teach.

  2. They need to successfully pass any three SCRUMstudy™ certification exams (out of SDC®, SMC®, SAMC™, and SPOC®), including the certification course that they wish to teach.

  3. They need to be aware of the training resources available on the SCRUMstudy™ A.T.P. site (including videos, handbooks, recordings of past training sessions, etc). SCRUMstudy™ will provide substantial training resources that A.T.P.s and Trainers can customize and use for their classes - the training resources will focus more on SCRUM concepts rather than on how to pass SCRUMstudy™ certification exams. Other than the training resources available in SCRUMstudy™, additional custom content may need to be developed by individual A.T.P.s or Trainers.

  4. All Trainers should be associated with a SCRUMstudy™ A.T.P.

Once trainers complete the above requirements, they need to apply to SCRUMstudy™ to become an accredited trainer (mentioning the details of the A.T.P. with whom they are associated). Accredited Trainers will be certified as "SCRUMstudy™ Certified Trainers (SCT®s)" - and they will be awarded an accreditation certificate making them eligible to train students for SCRUMstudy™ certifications. They should train only for the A.T.P.s with whom they have got associated.

To ensure a high-quality learning experience for all our students, trainers need to consistently get high rankings in student feedback forms. SCRUMstudy™ will regularly ask for feedback from students who attend classes conducted by SCRUMstudy™ A.T.P.s Faculty who receive unfavorable feedback must work on improving their course delivery, or their accreditation as SCT®s may be terminated. SCRUMstudy™ reserves its right to terminate any SCT® from continuing training for SCRUMstudy™ classes because of poor feedback or for other reasons.
