Trainer accreditation process

How to become a SCRUMstudy^™ Certified Trainer (SCT^®)?

SCRUM trainings for several certification exams (including SMC^®, SPOC^®, SAMC^™ and ESMC^™) should preferably be conducted in classrooms or through virtual instructor led sessions. It is important for every SCRUMstudy^™ faculty to be an expert in the particular SCRUMstudy^™ certification he or she is teaching, and be very familiar with the concepts in the SBOK^® Guide. It is also important for the faculty to be a good teacher and have adequate soft-skills to handle different situations in a class, and consistently deliver very high quality trainings.

Process for becoming an accredited SCRUMstudy^™ Certified Trainer (SCT^®):

1. Trainers need to have at least 2 years of relevant work experience and should be willing to share their experiences in the classes they teach.
2. They need to successfully pass any three SCRUMstudy^™ certification exams (out of SDC^®, SMC^®, SAMC^™, and SPOC^®), including the certification course that they wish to teach.
3. They need to be aware of the training resources available in SCRUMstudy^™ A.T.P. site (including videos, handbooks, recording of past training sessions etc). SCRUMstudy^™ will provide substantial training resources which A.T.P.s and Trainers can customize and use for their classes - the training resources will focus more on SCRUM concepts rather than on how to pass SCRUMstudy^™ certification exams. Other than the training resources available in SCRUMstudy^™, additional custom content may need to be developed by individual A.T.P.s or Trainers.
4. All Trainers should be associated with a SCRUMstudy^™ A.T.P.

Once trainers complete the above requirements, they need to apply to SCRUMstudy^™ to become an accredited trainer (mentioning the details of the A.T.P. with whom they are associated). Accredited Trainers will be certified as "SCRUMstudy^™ Certified Trainers (SCT^®s)" - and they will be awarded an accreditation certificate making them eligible to train students for SCRUMstudy^™ certifications. They should train only for the A.T.P.s with whom they have got associated.

To ensure a high-quality learning experience for all our students, trainers need to consistently get high rankings in student feedback forms. SCRUMstudy^™ will regularly ask for feedback from students who attend classes conducted by SCRUMstudy^™ A.T.P.s Faculty who receive unfavorable feedback must work on improving their course delivery, or their accreditation as SCT^®s may be terminated. SCRUMstudy^™ reserves its right to terminate any SCT^® from continuing training for SCRUMstudy^™ classes because of poor feedback or for other reasons.
