Honestly, this is the best scrum course I've taken hands down! Julie was fantastic and it was a great cohort in class. I'll definitely look to Mountain Goat for courses in the future.Cassie E
Here is not only an opportunity to become a Certified Scrum Product Owner, but to learn and interface with a Scrum pioneer in Mike Cohn! The overall experience of this course - from the pre-course materials to the live sessions - were exceptional, engaging and exceeded my expectations.Mike Maddaloni
After the class, so many useful materials we can use - which is amazing!Marko
Mike Cohn and his team at Mountain Goat software have a highly refined training system that is absolutely first rate. The CSPO virtual training course pushed me beyond theory and equipped me with practical concepts that I can immediately put to work. The quality technical administration along with their talented team of facilitators made for an excellent training experience.Oksana Cyrwus

Book this course and receive over 3 hours of pre-training videos to keep. Each lesson is 5-10 minutes and delivered by Mike Cohn.
The videos help you prepare for the class. With everyone starting day one with a shared understanding of the fundamentals, you can dive into deeper topics and discussions straight away.
This means you have more time over the two days to practice the skills you need to excel in your role.

Participants benefit by collaborating in ways beyond what is possible with generic whiteboard software such as Mural or Miro. Instructors can observe activity across all rooms, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of exercise debriefs.

If you cancel or reschedule a Live Online course more than 7 days before the first day of the class you will receive a full refund. If you cancel or reschedule within 7 days of the first day of class, a 50% fee will be charged, and the remaining 50% can be used as a credit toward a class to be taken within 6 months from the date of the canceled class. All cancellation requests must be made via email. Refunds or credits will not be issued for no shows, partial attendance or cancellations within 24 business hours.
We want you to feel confident about enrolling in our live, online courses. If after watching the pre-course videos and participating in the live sessions you don’t find the course valuable, email us within 7 days for a full refund.
Note that this refund policy applies only to Live Online courses.
No, your certificate will not mention the course was held virtually. It will look the same as the in person certificates.
Our certified Live Online classes include volume discounts:
All CSM, CSPO, A-CSM, and A-CSPO classes include a 2-year Scrum Alliance membership
The only course that includes an exam is the Certified ScrumMaster class. There is no additional fee to pay in order to take the exam. The course registration fee is the full and final price.
Your CSM or CSPO certificate doesn't need to be current to be eligible for the advanced courses. Once you complete your Advanced course, you will need to add 1 year of relevant work experience to your profiles to receive your certification.
If your certificate is expired, there is no cut-off date that requires you to take that certification course again. (You may want to retake it if a lot of time has passed, or if you want to renew it by re-taking the class rather than going through the renewal process of submitting enough SEUs and paying the renewal fee.)
When it comes to taking an advanced class, if your foundational (CSM / CSPO) certification has expired you can still take the course. Assuming you meet the experience requirement on completion of the advanced class, your foundational certification will be renewed, and include new renewal deadlines.
After completing your course, you'll receive an email with instructions for claiming continuing education units from Scrum Alliance and Project Management Institute.
