"I attended The CSPO course without any prior experience in the field. The training provided me with a comprehensive grasp of the role and numerous valuable tips for becoming an effective product owner. The course incorporated various drills and activities making the learning experience practical rather than purely theoretical"

"Our trainer Joke's expertise was a beacon, keeping us motivated and engaged during two days of intensive training. I highly recommend Agilar’s training; their expertise ensures a seamless journey into Scrum mastery. On a personal note, as a hot air balloon enthusiast, I discovered intriguing parallels between the precision of a Product Owner’s role and the finesse of piloting a balloon. Both demand meticulous planning, adaptability, and a clear path to success. Wish you all success with your Agile and Scrum journeys!"

FAQ
Will I receive a certification?
Upon successful course completion, you'll earn the globally recognized Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner (A-CSPO) certification from the Scrum Alliance, along with a two-year paid membership - giving you access to one of the largest community of agilists in the world. Qualifying criteria: To be certified as A-CSPO you need to have a Scrum Alliance CSPO certification (active or inactive) and 12 months of experience working as a Scrum Product Owner in the past five years or up to two years after finishing the course.
Who is this for?
The A-CSPO is targeted towards people who have foundational knowledge on agile product ownership and have worked as a Product Owner (or product manager) in the past. This means there is an assumption that knowledge or skills discussed in a foundational course (e.g. CSPO) are already present. This course can also be useful for leaders or very experienced coaches looking to broaden their knowledge on Agile product management.
What will I learn?
In this course you will dive deeper into topics such as product backlog priorization, scaling product ownership, product strategy, validating product hypothesis, and understanding users/customers.
You can check out the detailed learning objectives for the A-CSPO here.
What is the training format?
Our Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner training is a highly engaging session, combining interactive lectures, hands-on exercises, and group discussions. The purpose is to ensure participants have the opportunity to maximize their learning experience by using case studies and exercises to put into the practice the concepts they are learning. Also, the strong focus on group exercises in the training ensures participants have a chance to hear about other people's experiences and ideas.
This will be a Live online training held during 3 days (5,5 hours each day).
Do I need to be a Certified Scrum Product Owner to join?
If you don’t have the CSPO certification from the Scrum Alliance, you are still welcome to join the training but you won’t be able to receive the A-CSPO certification. Keep in mind that the training assumes foundational knowledge on agile product ownership - if you lack this knowledge, you will likely struggle to keep up with the group. You can always refer to the CSPO learning objectives here to see if you feel comfortable with the expected foundational knowledge. In case of any doubts, best is to contact us and we'll be happy to help you.
Will my A-CSPO certification renew all my inactive certifications with the Scrum Alliance?
Earning the A-CSPO certification will extend/renew all other certifications available, whether they are active or inactive. The new “Active through date” of the A-CSPO will apply to all other certifications. No additional payment or SEUs will be required for that renewal cycle.
