I guess just a few thoughts on the scrum master certification. I would like to start by saying that I think our trainer was fantastic.  I found his teaching style aligned perfectly with my learning style, which was a true treat.  I liked the group activities, and the group learning style.  His explanations made perfect sense to me, and the model seems to be a good fit for organizations.

The only thing about the course, I wish we had gotten more into the hybrid model.  I honestly do not believe that most companies can run true scrum.  I mean, no managers, no QA, full agile development.  This does not come off to me as realistic.  I’ve worked a lot of companies, I’ve consulted at hundreds more.  I just don’t see a full scum set up in the field.

Overall, I would recommend getting the certification, although the test wasn’t as hard as I would of hoped.
