Most on-line training is boring and prone to distraction. Too many instructors talk for far too long about topics and theories not relevant to real world application. With our A-CSPO program, all our videos are crisp (no more than fifteen minutes) and are combined with practical exercises so you can immediately put into practice what you have learned under the mentorship of a Certified Scrum Trainer. Leveraging our experience with Accelerated Learning, your Applied Frameworks Online Training instructors have derived a powerful training approach that keeps the A-CSPO courses short, fun, focused and meaningful to the real world of Agile product management.
Learning works best when you are in a community and the best learning experiences are shared. Each month, you can join one or more one-hour Virtual Classrooms with your Certified Scrum Trainer and other students to check progress, share ideas, answer questions, offer encouragement and receive support. In our program, you will feel like you are completing your A-CSPO journey within a team, even though it is an online program.
This course is not for people looking for a short, two or three day workshop. There are many other options for you. This program requires at least two months for Express students and four months for Premium students to successfully complete the courses, apply what they learn along the way, and find time to participate in virtual classrooms.
