A team based training to solidify your knowledge through practice

Applying Professional a ScrumTM (APS) is a 2-day Scrum.org certified course that provides the foundational knowledge needed to work with Scrum in a highly practical way. The course is a combination of instruction and team based exercises where students experience how the Scrum framework improves product delivery efforts.

The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum Master I certification exam (PSM I).

What you will learn during the APS course

Over the 2 days, students are introduced to the mechanics of Scrum, gaining insights into overcoming complexity, dealing with team based collaboration and self-organization as essential elements in mastering Scrum. Students work together as a team in a series of Sprints to build a product, thereby facing real-life problems. The mechanics, roles, and principles of Scrum are leveraged during the exercises. From its emphasis on the practical application of Scrum, the course exposes common missteps and misunderstandings so students grow a higher awareness of the associated symptoms. The course provides prescriptive guidance to avoid going off track and keep Scrum healthy.

Professional Scrum Foundations is excellent training for teams and anyone wanting to experience the way of working in Scrum. The course also provides the foundation of knowledge needed for role-focused training for Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Developers, and Leaders within the organization.

Who should attend

The Applying Professional Scrum course is the perfect introduction, reboot or refresher to Scrum. This course is for teams or anyone wanting to experience the Scrum way of working. APS provides the base knowledge needed for anyone interested in taking role focused trainings.

At the moment I’m only delivering the APS course as an in-house training, as it is perfectly suited as a team (building) training. This course is suitable to be provided in-person or remote where attendees join the course virtually.

All participants completing the Applying Professional Scrum course will receive a password to attempt the Scrum.org Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) assessment. But do you attempt the PSM I assessment within 14 days after the course and you score less than 85%? Then you get a 2nd attempt for free. And as a student of the APS course you also get a discount on the PSM II and PSM III assessments.

Since this assessment will be in English, participating in my English training course will help you prepare for the assessment in the best way possible.
