Scrum Agile Master Certified (SAMC) Training
SAMC™ professionals can work across more than one Agile approach. Where a Scrum certification goes deep on a single framework, the Scrum Agile Master certification is built around comparing Agile methods and choosing the one that suits the work in front of you — which matters on teams that have inherited a mix of practices and need to make them coherent.
Course Overview
The SCRUMstudy Agile Master Certified (SAMC™) certification confirms that a practitioner can compare Agile methodologies and select an appropriate one for a given situation, rather than applying a single framework everywhere. The course covers Agile principles and the practices shared across Agile methods, then works through Scrum in depth as the most widely adopted of them.
There are no formal prerequisites. Professionals already holding SDC™ or SMC™ will find the material familiar.

Intended Audience
This certification suits anyone who wants a working familiarity with Agile project delivery and the methods used to achieve it, including team members moving between Agile approaches, managers responsible for teams using more than one framework, and practitioners who want to choose a methodology deliberately rather than by default.
Prerequisites
There is no formal prerequisite for this certification. Holding Scrum Developer Certified (SDC™) or Scrum Master Certified (SMC™) first will make the material easier to absorb, but neither is required.
