Included: Free access to TAMAI, our AI learning companion
Every learner receives free access to TAMAI, our purpose-built AI learning companion designed specifically for agile, Scrum and Kanban learners.
Questions rarely arise at convenient moments. They come up when you are back at your desk, applying new ideas in real situations, or trying to make sense of something that did not quite land. TAMAI is there for exactly those moments.
Built specifically for agile learners, TAMAI helps you explore concepts in more depth, reflect on your learning, and think through practical scenarios from your own work. It supports genuine understanding rather than just providing answers, so your learning continues long after the course ends.

What makes this course different
There are plenty of CSM courses available, but this one is designed to go well beyond the certification. The focus is on helping you genuinely understand Scrum, why it works, how to apply it in real organisations, and what it takes to support a truly high-performing team.
Most CSM courses are delivered as a two-day intensive. Ours runs across three half days, and that difference matters. The spaced format gives your brain time to process and absorb between sessions, so the learning has a chance to settle rather than blur into one long stretch. It also sits far more comfortably alongside a busy working week.
Using brain friendly, science based accelerated learning techniques, the course is designed to make content stick, not just deliver it. Interactive exercises, real-life examples and lively discussion keep you actively engaged throughout, and our small group sizes mean you get the attention and interaction that larger courses cannot provide.
Every learner also receives a one hour post-course coaching session with Tom, giving you dedicated time to reflect on what you have learned and work through how to apply it in your own context.
TAMAI, your AI learning companion
Included with the course is free access to TAMAI, our purpose-built AI learning companion for agile, Scrum and Kanban.
TAMAI is there for the moments when questions come up away from the classroom, when you are back at your desk applying new ideas, working through a tricky concept, or thinking through a real scenario from your own organisation. It supports genuine sense-making and concept clarity, helping you deepen your understanding and continue your learning long after the course ends. Most CSM courses stop when the course stops. With TAMAI, yours doesn’t.
