You might think that attending a class automatically guarantees certification, or that taking a class is a requirement to get certified. Both of these assumptions are actually incorrect. While attending a class provides valuable learning, we recognize that some individuals prefer to self-study and apply their own experience. Our certifications are a reflection of your knowledge, while our classes are designed to teach you. While we recommend taking a class, it is not mandatory. Professional Scrum certifications are available for various experience levels, and they are globally recognized and respected for assessing a genuine understanding of Scrum and its application. There’s no need for renewal—once you earn it, you keep it!
