If you’re passionate about seeing teams and organizations reach their potential, we encourage you to take the next step — actually, it’s a leap — towards becoming a Certified Agile Coach. As either a Certified Team Coach (CTC) or Certified Enterprise Coach (CEC), you’ll catalyze change, not only in others and organizations, but in yourself too.

WHY BECOME A SCRUM ALLIANCE CERTIFIED AGILE COACH?

You need to distinguish yourself as an expert in your craft, and you deserve to be recognized for your coaching experience and skills. As the largest, nonprofit certification body in the agile space, Scrum Alliance provides a journey toward the most reputable certifications that professionalize agile coaching. When you reach the certification milestone (or as we prefer to acknowledge it, the beginning of your coaching journey), you’ll join a global community of world renowned agile coaches… all with the common belief that the world of work is ready to be transformed.

Recognition and Validation

Your coaching experience and skills will be peer-reviewed and validated by other CECs and CTCs. Gain confidence in knowing you have the skills to successfully lead agile transformations.

Community and Connection

Connect with a network of coaches where you’ll share experiences, opportunities, and be challenged to grow further through collaboration, mentoring, and volunteering.

Continued Growth and Giving Back

The application journey itself allows you to reflect on areas of personal and professional growth. Once approved as a Certified Agile Coach, you’ll have the opportunity to mentor others to allow them to achieve foundational and advanced certifications.

A Distinguished History

Since 2001, Scrum Alliance has supported the agile movement as the only member-driven nonprofit certifying body in the agile space. Our Certified Agile Coaching applications are rigorous with high standards to ensure our mission to create workplaces that are joyful, prosperous, and sustainable.

Resources

The world needs more Certified Agile Coaches, which is why we have robust and insightful resources to help you along your application journey (and beyond).

Give Yourself
the Credit
You Deserve

When you attend events or volunteer in the community, you learn to transform the world of work, so your Scrum Alliance dashboard includes a feature that enables you to track your contributions and continuing education. The courses you take, mentorship relationships you build, and resources we provide count toward the required "Scrum Education Units" (SEUs) you need to renew your certification(s) every two years.
