What is the Program Schedule?

People who want to know more about Scrum and Agile do not have time to spend 16 hours straight (or more!) in a classroom. If that's your situation, this rolling mentoring program could be for you. As it is rolling, you can join any time and gain certification as needed.

The certification program can be completed in as little as four weeks or up to six months—you decide, working at your own sustainable pace. You're in control!

By being empowered to learn in your way and your actual work of practical Scrum Mastering, you can enjoy the freedom of getting certified when it’s convenient and works for you.

When do we meet?

We fortnightly on Thursdays between 5 pm and 6 pm UK time. Between sessions, the group uses online chat to stay focused and often arranges additional sessions with each other to accelerate their certification.

Learn by Doing!

Our program focuses on experiential learning, allowing you to apply new techniques and strategies directly in your work environment.

Regular mentoring sessions with experienced industry experts provide actionable insights, ensuring you gain practical, real-world knowledge.

All our educators coach in the field more than they train. We are on the journey with you.

Validation

During your first mentoring session, we will discuss the required self-learning log, review the Agile Coaching Growth Wheel and agree on what outcomes you desire from gaining the certification.

You can then attend a combination of community events, peer events, workshops, conferences, and mentoring sessions while working individually to complete the validation log (a brief record of your learnings). We will provide the template log (small file) for you.

Once the self-learning log is complete and checked by a peer, we will spend some time with you, reflecting on the difference the program has made to you. We will do this by reflecting on the updated agile coaching growth wheel and the agreed outcomes.

You MUST attend at least FOUR mentoring sessions to validate your competency against the program learning objectives.
