FAQ about Psychological Safety Certification

Psychological safety describes an environment where people feel secure taking interpersonal risks. They can speak freely, ask questions, admit mistakes, or disagree without fear of negative consequences.

This training is for leaders, team leads, product owners, and Scrum Masters who want to create the foundation for effective and innovative collaboration with their teams.

The Psychological Safety training is a one-day course, lasting eight hours.

The choice depends on what's most important to you:
  • If you value practical application and want flexibility between e-learning and live training, Certified by Agile Academy is ideal.
  • If you want to focus purely on the Scrum framework, Scrum Alliance could be an option. However, be aware of the ongoing recertification costs.
  • If you just want to take an exam and are willing to pay the exam fees, then Scrum.org is an alternative.
Certifications like Scrum.org are often exam-focused, meaning theoretical knowledge is sufficient. If you care more about real, applicable skills, Agile Academy offers the better approach.

  • Lifetime Validity: You never need to renew your certificate or pay additional fees.
  • Holistic Approach: Beyond Scrum, Agile Academy covers topics crucial for modern work practices, such as:
    • OKRs (Objectives and Key Results): Goal management for teams.
    • Psychological Safety: Creating a safe work environment.
    • Leadership Development: Leadership skills for Agile teams.
  • Our approach makes you a comprehensively trained agilist – far beyond the basics.
  • Practice-Oriented: The focus is on applying what you learn directly. Our exams and assignments are designed to test and promote your practical skills – ideal for real project environments.
  • Flexible Learning: Choose between e-learning and live training, depending on what better fits your schedule.
  • Free Retakes: You can retake the exam as many times as needed at no additional cost.

  • No Hidden Costs: Unlike ScrumAlliance or Scrum.org, we have no ongoing fees or expensive exam attempts.
  • Broader Range of Topics: We go well beyond Scrum and cover modern, practice-relevant topics like OKRs, Psychological Safety, and Leadership Development.
  • Practice-Oriented Certificates: Our certificates reflect your actual abilities, not just passing an exam. The goal is for you to apply your knowledge directly in real projects.
  • Lifetime Validity: Through our lifetime certification, you save considerable time and money in the long run.
  • Modern Learning Formats: Agile Academy offers you the flexibility to choose between live training and e-learning to optimally support your personal learning style.

Yes! Unlike many other certification bodies, Agile Academy doesn't force you to attend live training. You can prepare flexibly and independently through e-learning. However, live training is available if you prefer personal interaction.

The "Certified by Agile Academy" credential was launched in 2024. Our goal is to make this certification the new standard in the agile world – with a strong focus on quality, practical relevance, and the requirements of modern organizations.

Agile Academy itself is already a recognized name in the DACH region: We have been working successfully with many large, well-known as well as small companies for years. With our extensive experience and excellent reputation, we are among the top providers for agile training. You can be confident that our certificates are designed for quality and practical relevance – exactly what modern organizations are looking for.

We work with these and many other clients:

Certification for Teams & Companies

Psychological Safety as an Inhouse Seminar

Choosing an in-house Psychological Safety training, especially for groups of 8 or more people, offers significant advantages. The training can be tailored to your organization's needs, fostering alignment within the team and practical application. An in-house training provides a private setting for open discussions about the challenges your organization faces.

In-house trainings are usually more cost-effective per employee than public courses and also save on external costs, such as travel and accommodation. Additionally, these in-house trainings can be certified by various renowned organizations, adding value to your team's professional development.

In summary, in-house seminars offer customization, confidentiality (compliance), cost savings, and - if desired - recognized certification.

Psychological Safety Certification with Volume Discounts

The Agile Academy offers volume discounts for public Psychological Safety trainings, enabling our clients to achieve significant cost savings. When multiple team members (at least 3) register, volume discounts are applied, making training for larger teams more economical.

Compared to in-house seminars, these discounts provide flexibility. Team members can choose different training dates that fit their schedules, maintaining business continuity.

Essentially, volume discounts offer a cost-effective solution for high-quality Scrum Master training, combining substantial savings with convenient scheduling and making it an attractive option for companies looking to empower their teams.
