Master the Scrum Framework with an Internationally Recognised Certification
The ABC Scrum Master course, accredited by APMG International and the Agile Business Consortium, provides a thorough grounding in the principles and practice of the Scrum framework. Based on The Scrum Guide – developed by Scrum creators Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland – this two-day programme covers Scrum roles, events, artefacts, and the rules that bind them together.
Combining instructor-led theory with team-based exercises, the course is purposefully designed to be business-focused rather than purely IT-oriented. Whether you are new to Agile or looking to formalise your existing experience, you’ll leave with the confidence and credentials to drive Scrum adoption in your organisation.
