FAQs
Which Product Owner certification route should I choose?
Scrum.org and Scrum Alliance are both widely recognised Product Owner routes. In most cases, either is a good choice. If your organisation already has a preferred route (or colleagues already hold one), it’s usually best to follow that for consistency. If you’re booking as an individual, choose the route that best fits your goals — and if you’re unsure, we can help you decide.
Do Product Owner qualifications follow the Scrum Guide?
Yes. The Scrum framework is defined by the Scrum Guide, and recognised Product Owner qualifications are based on the same core roles, events and artifacts. The exam style and supporting materials can vary by awarding body, but the underlying Scrum knowledge is consistent.
Can I take this course if I’m new to agile?
Yes. This course is suitable for people new to Scrum and agile. You’ll learn the Scrum fundamentals and then focus on the Product Owner responsibilities and practical techniques. If you want a lighter introduction first, you can start with Scrum Essentials.
Is this course suitable for business analysts or product managers?
Yes. Many business analysts and product managers take Product Owner training to strengthen prioritisation, stakeholder collaboration, and backlog management skills in Scrum environments.
What’s included in the course price?
What’s included depends on the route you choose, but typically you’ll receive the live instructor-led training, course materials, and exam preparation support aligned to your route. Full inclusions are shown during booking, and we’ll confirm exactly what’s included before you enrol.
Do you offer private/team Product Owner training?
Yes. We deliver private Product Owner training for organisations and can tailor scheduling and emphasis to your context. We can also advise on the best certification route for your organisation.
Can I study alongside a full-time job?
Yes. Many learners take this course alongside work. Instructor-led online training runs on scheduled dates, and you’ll be guided on how to prepare efficiently alongside your day job. If you need a different schedule, team training may be a better fit.
