Do you need to know Scrum to take this class?

Not at all. This class is valuable for those who are completely new to Scrum as well as those who have been using Scrum but have had no formal training. For private organizations this class can also be modified to be a Scrum refresher.

Will I get a certification?

After participating in the Applying Professional Scrum course, you will receive a free chance to earn the Professional Scrum Master (PSM) certification. This is a globally recognized certification backed by Scrum.org.

What does the APS certification exam look like?

The certification exam has 80 questions. Participants have 60 minutes to complete it. There will be a mix of easier and more difficult questions; many will go fast, while some will require additional thought. A passing score of 85% is required to achieve the PSM certification. The exam is online only, so there is no need to go to a testing center. The format for the PSM certification exam is multiple-choice questions and a few True / False questions.

What are the prerequisites for taking the Applying Professional Scrum class?

None. It can be helpful to review the Scrum Guide before taking the class. The Scrum Guide is available at www.ScrumGuides.org.

How long is the APS course?

The APS course from Scrum.org is usually scheduled for two days, each including about eight hours of instruction. Rebel Scrum offers more flexible options, including an opportunity to take the class in four half-days instead of two full days. You may schedule a private course for your organization, or you can sign up for any of our public classes.

Can I attend the APS class remotely, or is it only available in person?

The APS class is available in person and online, allowing participants to choose the format that best suits their needs. Organizations may contact Rebel Scrum to schedule a private course.

What is your largest class size capability?

Need to train a large number of people? No problem! From 5 to 5,000 participants, we can work with you to get you the training you need.

Applying Professional Scrum

Applying Professional Scrum (APS)

APS is for those new to Scrum or who need to learn more about Scrum roles, artifacts, and events. This is one of the most underused classes, and that’s a shame. This class allows you to practice what it feels like to be on a Scrum team. It offers a unique experience that the others don’t: participation in a simulated Scrum team.

Think of it as Scrum 101 and beyond. This class is not about reading from a book or memorizing terms. You’ll learn by doing, using Scrum in a controlled environment. True learning comes from experience. APS is an ideal class for your team to take together.
