To help you even more on this journey of self-learning, included at no extra cost as part of this A-CSPO certification registration is the option to complete the Certified LeSS Basics - Large Scale-Scrum (CLB) course . You can learn how to use Scrum for descaling rather than scaling alone.

What is the Program Schedule?
People want to know more about Scrum and Agile but 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. You can join anytime and gain certification as needed as it is rolling.
The certification program can be completed in as little as 6 weeks or up to 6 months—you decide, working at your own sustainable pace. You're in control!
By being empowered to learn in your way and during your work as a Product Owner, you can enjoy the freedom of getting certified when it's convenient and works for you.
When do we meet?
We meet 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 initial mentoring session, we will discuss your self-learning log and set your desired outcomes for certification.
As part of the process, you will participate in peer events, workshops, and mentoring sessions while completing a concise validation log detailing your learning journey.
After finalizing your log, a peer-reviewed reflection session will evaluate the program's impact on your skills.
To achieve certification, participants must attend at least four mentoring sessions and demonstrate competency in all learning objectives.

FAQ
What do I need to attend the online program?
Attending the online version of this program is simple. You just need access to a laptop/PC with a stable internet connection, audio/video, and microphone capabilities. We will send you a digital version of the program notes as and when needed, which you can print off if you like, but this is not mandatory.
Is there an exam?
No. The accreditation is achieved by completing the program requirements.
Where can I contact the organiser with any questions?
You can contact us directly by emailing us at talk@agileaffinity.com, and one of the team will be happy to assist you.
When can I start the program? How long do I have to finish?
Once you register, you can start your program immediately. (If you see a program "start" date on the Scrum Alliance website, those are only marker dates because of how their website is currently set up.) You have one year to complete the program. You go at your own pace.
How long will it take to complete the program?
Your availability will likely govern your pace of progress in completing all the work. Our programs are deep and challenging by design. We recommend finding the right opportunities to practice what you learn, reflect on that experience, and look for ways to improve. If you are looking for a 2-day class, this program is not for you.
Can I take a break from the program if something comes up?
Sure! You can take breaks as needed.
Is there a test at the end of the program? Will my work be graded?
There are NO tests to obtain the certification you can achieve with this program. Our educators will seek evidence that you can practice what you have learned in the program with a Scrum/Agile team.
What is the best way to complete this program?
This program should be a learning experience you can complete at your own pace. You will need to record what you learn in a log. How you do this is up to you. Be as creative as you like. Write them out, do a slide presentation, record a video, draw, or whatever best enables you to learn and communicate that learning. The hope is that everything you learn in this program will be something you can repeat with your teams so your work can be your proving ground.
