Course Overview

A-CSD (Advanced Certified Scrum Developer) is the advanced certification for software developers who work on Scrum teams. It is deliberately technical: rather than more Scrum theory, it focuses on the engineering practices that let a team deliver quality software in short, iterative cycles - test-driven development, continuous delivery, refactoring, and strong technical collaboration. Because it is advanced, A-CSD has prerequisites. To be certified you must already hold the Certified Scrum Developer (CSD) certification (active or expired), and validate at least 12 months of work experience as a developer or team member within the last five years. The course is 16 hours, delivered live by an approved Scrum Alliance trainer, in person or online, and includes a technical skills assessment. This is a course for practising developers who already know Scrum basics and want to raise their engineering craft within an agile team. It features real programming and hands-on activities, not just presentations.

  • Real programming and activities, not just slides.
  • Two-year Scrum Alliance certification; a step toward CSP-D.

For experienced developers, it is a way to stand out on a Scrum team and progress toward the top-of-track CSP-D.

Course Curriculum

Eligibility

A-CSD is an advanced certification, so it has prerequisites. You must meet BOTH of these before you can be certified:

REQUIREMENT 1 โ€” Hold CSDREQUIREMENT 2 โ€” 12 months experience
You must already hold a Certified Scrum Developer (CSD) certification from Scrum Alliance.
You must validate at least 12 months of work experience as a developer or team member, gained within the last five years.
Your CSD can be active or expired - either is accepted.
You enter and verify this on your Scrum Alliance account.
Don't have CSD yet? CSD is the starting point of the developer track (a technical, approved-trainer course). Earn CSD first, then return for A-CSD.
Not there yet? Keep working as a developer and enrol once you reach 12 months.

Pre-requisites

Both requirements are firm, and CSD comes first. If you take the A-CSD course before you hold CSD or before you have the 12 months of experience, the trainer cannot certify you until you meet them. So please check you qualify before enrolling - and if you are not sure, contact us...
