    question: Who is this course for — and who is it NOT for?
    answer: The APS course is for anyone involved with or considering Scrum—team members new or old, managers, or anyone wanting a practical understanding of Scrum in action. It's ideal if you're joining or already working on a Scrum Team, support teams, or are an organisation aiming to adopt Scrum. APS isn't suited for experienced Scrum professionals looking for advanced topics or for those expecting industry-specific content like software development; it's designed as a broad, practical introduction or refresher.

    question: What does certification/assessment involve — is it included, and what happens if I don't pass?
    answer: Upon completing APS, you get two free attempts at the globally recognised Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) assessment. If you don’t pass on the first go, you can try again at no extra cost; two attempts are included, and passing the assessment earns you certification.

    question: Is this course practical (hands-on, exercises), discussion-based, or lecture-based?
    answer: APS is highly practical and hands-on, with the bulk of your learning coming from real team exercises, Sprints, and simulations rather than lectures. You'll work in teams to solve problems and experience Scrum by doing it, supported by discussion and targeted theory.

    question: What prior experience or qualifications do I need to attend?
    answer: You don't need any previous Scrum experience or specific qualifications to take APS—just a willingness to engage in practical learning. It's designed for Scrum newcomers, those seeking a refresher, or anyone evaluating Scrum for their team.

    question: What's the format and duration — remote, in person, or both, and how many days/sessions?
    answer: APS runs either as a two-day intensive in-person or virtual class, or as an eight-week immersive with one session per week plus offline exercises between. Both formats cover the same content and certification.
