Eric was instrumental in running the CSM session. The concepts were made very easy with the help of real-life examples and practical exercises. He never let the class become dull. My objective of learning about Scrum and getting certified was successful as Eric played the role of a guide in the best way possible. I would recommend Eric and this training from KnowledgeHut wholeheartedly. Cheers!!

Certified ScrumMaster (CSM)® Course in New York, NY

An organization arranging in-house training by taking up the ScrumMaster certification cost in New York is not something new. Make sure you choose reputed institutes like KnowledgeHut for the training process. This article will talk in detail about the top things that you need to check with an institute before hiring them for in-house training. The trainers who would deliver the Certified ScrumMaster training in New York in your campus should be experienced in industry standards and also should have experience in training students at various career levels. The trainers should be able to provide both theoretical and practical training with high quality. Such trainers are available with institutes that are reputed and accredited with Scrum Alliance like KnowledgeHut. Scrum Alliance provides certification to trainers and only institutes with certified trainers would be approved for accreditation. Learning materials Apart from training, learning materials are also an important factor. The learning materials provided by the training center can be either e-learning materials or online study guides and need not be highly-priced and voluminous study books. The course material should be useful for the certification exam and also for learning beyond the class. It should also help the candidates train themselves after taking up the classroom course for practical training. Every institute would provide some kind of study material but, you should choose an institute for CSM course in New York that would provide high-quality study materials which are approved by Scrum Alliance like KnowledgeHut. Course support The institute you choose should not increase the length of the course just for the sake of increasing the CSM certification cost in New York. The course length, agenda, and other elements of the course should be provided before registration. Only reputed institutes in New York like KnowledgeHut have pre-course and post-course support where you can get in touch with the representatives to learn more about the course before, after, and during the course. Accreditation from Scrum Alliance An institute cannot become accredited with Scrum Alliance without any benchmarks. The organization would audit the quality of the trainers, training process, exam support, mock papers, agenda, practical training, and various other factors of the training institute from time to time. Thus, the quality of training from an institute that is accredited with Scrum Alliance like KnowledgeHut can be trusted to be high throughout the course. This is the main reason as to why people prefer institutes with accreditation with Scrum Alliance.
