SCRUM training 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 have adequate soft skills to handle different situations in a class, and consistently deliver very high-quality training.

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 on the SCRUMstudy™ A.T.P. site (including videos, handbooks, recordings of past training sessions, etc). SCRUMstudy™ will provide substantial training resources that 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.
