As a certified International Scrum Trainer™, you will have a broad understanding of various Agile Methodologies and an in-depth knowledge on Scrum Framework in particular. You will have the authority to teach Scrum to others, and you will be empowered to organize in-person training sessions to train Scrum Developers (ISD), Scrum Masters (ISM) as well as Scrum Product Owners (ISPO).
If you are an employee; you will be able to train your co-workers and teams, which positions you as a subject-matter-expert in the Scrum domain. As a result, you will play an integral role (or take the lead) on your organization’s Agile transformation. This will provide you with an opportunity to interact with your organization’s Senior Leadership Team, and give them counsel on usage of Agile.
If you are an entrepreneur; you will be entitled to train others. This way, you can start and build your own business, help your community to acquire essential Scrum skills, grow your own personal network, and make money! Once you earn your IST certificate, you will have an option to partner with International Scrum Assembly to take your business to the next level.
Many of our Scrum Trainers start as a side business without quitting their jobs, generating an average of $35K a year as net incremental passive income. Sky is the limit for our full-time Scrum Trainers.
