The process of becoming a Certified ScrumMaster® can be explained in the following steps:
Step 1: Choose a CSM® training provider authorized by Scrum Alliance.
Step 2: Enrol for a two-day CSM® course and get trained by Certified Scrum Trainers® (CSTs).
Step 3: After successful completion of the course, our Certified Scrum Trainer (CST®) will send your details to the Scrum Alliance. Scrum Alliance will send you an email that contains the Scrum Alliance account and access details for your CSM® exam.
Step 4: Click on the link received from the Scrum Alliance and create your own login credentials.
Step 5: Log in to take the online CSM® test. The exam consists of 50 MCQs and a time limit of 60 minutes (1 hour).
Step 6: You need to answer 37 questions correctly and score 74% to pass the CSM® test.
Note: The CSM® exam is easy to crack if you prepare from the Scrum Guide, Scrum Primer, and take the CSM® mock tests.
Step 7: Once you pass the test with the minimum passing score, accept the license agreement.
Step 8: After accepting it, you will receive Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM®) certification and a 2-year membership from Scrum Alliance.
Step 9: You can maintain your CSM® certification by renewing it once in two years.
