Our Scrum Alliance Advanced Certified Scrum Training combines the best of both live and online instruction into an interactive, highly engaging experience. It is designed to give you the skills and knowledge needed to reach your full potential as a successful Scrum practitioner.

Our advanced training classes are structured to maximize learning while offering time for deeper issues that are often overlooked in other training options.

  • Live and engaging discussions and team exercises utilizing Zoom, Mural and Mentimeter.

  • About three hours of recorded video to watch before the course, allowing for interactive and engaging live sessions, free of put-you-to-sleep lecture

  • Short, concise quizzes after each video module to help you retain what you've learned.

At course completion, provided you complete the course pre-work and participate, you will have earned your Scrum Alliance Advanced Certified Scrum Master designation.

What You Get

  • All certification fees are covered in our training cost. There are no hidden fees or surprises with our training options.

  • Continued (lifetime) access to the online training materials. You can come back anytime for a quick refresher.

You'll get an electronic copy of the course slides, plus the outputs of all exercises, allowing you to refer to expanded learning materials for years to come.

We offer Alumni only events, such as Lean Coffee, Ask Me Anything sessions, and more. Your continued education is part of all of our live and online classes.

Each live and online Scrum class offers quizzes to help reinforce what you've learned in the videos and to track your progress.

Customer Testimonials

I had the “Certified Product Owner Master"class with Mitch at Lisbon. I I’ve learned a lot with him. The class was well organized with a lot of practical cases. Mitch is a gifted speaker and has a great and noticeable personal experience in scrum methodology.

Jorge Dias
Software Engineer, Product Owner, Manager, Primavera Business Software Solutions SA

I was a student of Mitch’s Certified SCRUM Master (CSM) training and enjoyed it immensely! The information and concepts provided in the class have been easy to apply to my current position and have fundamentally changed how I plan and execute projects. Mitch is an engaging and entertaining speaker, and the exercises and materials he has developed are exceptionally effective at teaching the principles of SCRUM/Agile. If I had it my way, every employee at my company would have to take the class - it was THAT effective at improving business processes!

Sean Hastings

I had the (great) opportunity of attending Mitch’s CSM and CSPO trainings and i have to see that he is one of the best (to not to say the best) trainer i ever had. His deep knowledge of the topics together with a natural capability of teaching makes him a tremendous asset that all companies would like to hire to provide a high & reliable scrum training quality. In case you are looking for someone to teach Scrum methodology in a very enthusiastic way, i strongly recommend to attend Mitch’s training courses. In my case, i’m looking forward to meet him again in a near future.

I attended Mitch Lacey’s Certified Scrum Master course, and I must say that it exceeded my expectations. His knowledge and experience was obvious right from start. The way he complemented the course with his own experience helped understanding things and It leverage the course quality to a completely different level.
