Certification Guarantee

You WILL Earn Your Certification!

For some students, no matter how hard they try, tests (like the one you have to take after the classroom training to earn the Certified ScrumMaster certification) can make people really upset. You know the information, but you sit down to take the test and you just can’t do it. Well, if you give it your best shot and still you don’t pass the test on either of the two attempts we pay for when you sign up for the course, we’ll help you understand what you did wrong and pay for the test up to TEN more times until you pass.

We are SO confident in our ability to teach you Scrum that, even though we’ve been offering this guarantee for a number of years, no one has ever had to take us up on it.
