Are the online courses certified?

Yes! All premium online courses at Agile Academy come with certification options from our own program: Certified by Agile Academy. After passing the exam, you’ll receive a digital certificate — valid for life, with no renewals or hidden fees.

Our certification tracks are designed to help you understand, apply, and eventually teach agile skills across team, department, and organizational levels. The certificate proves your learning outcomes and can be shared with employers and peers.

What about Scrum.org or Scrum Alliance?

You can still take assessments from other certification bodies if you wish. For example, after completing our Scrum Master or Agile Coach online course, you’ll have the knowledge to register for the Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) exam at Scrum.org. They charge a separate exam fee (around $150).

If you’re interested in Scrum Alliance certifications (like Certified Scrum Master or Certified Scrum Product Owner), we offer separate live trainings that include those certifications. These workshops are led by certified Scrum Alliance trainers and fulfill the official training requirements for their certificates.
