What are the benefits of a Certified Scrum Developer® certification?

In today's competitive job market, the Certified Scrum Developer training can set you apart from the pack. A successful Certified Scrum Developer is committed to continuous improvement. The coursework and dedication needed to achieve a CSD sharpens your skills to help you become a better practitioner of Scrum and Agile development. By earning a Certified Scrum Developer certification, you:

  • Learn the foundations of Scrum and the scope of the Certified Scrum Developer’s role from the best minds in development agility
  • Demonstrate to employers and peers your understanding of core Scrum knowledge
  • Expand your career opportunities by staying relevant and marketable across all industry sectors adopting Agile practices
  • Engage with a community of recognized Scrum experts who are committed to continuous improvement

To earn a CSD, we require at least five days of formal training taught by a Scrum Alliance Registered Education Provider (REP®) and a Scrum Alliance-approved CSD instructor.

There are currently two tracks to achieve CSD certification (detailed below). The courses for both tracks can be taken in any order. Once you complete a track, you will receive notification to accept your CSD license, and the CSD certification will be added to your profile. Your certification is valid for two years.

Track 1

  • CSM® course (2 days)
  • CSD technical course, including coding (3 days)

 

Track 2

  • Intro to Scrum CSD course (1 day)
  • CSD technical elective course (1 day)

 

During your CSD courses, you must demonstrate an understanding of Scrum and Agile engineering practices by passing a CSD assessment provided by the REP instructor. The assessment may be an exam administered by the instructor to test your knowledge, or it may be an active, classroom-based assessment. When a REP instructor uploads a student’s information into our system, they are recommending the student for certification.
