Who Should Attend an A-CSPO Course
Active Certified Scrum Product Owners (CSPO) with at least 1 year of experience. You may still attend class with less than 1 year of experience, but you are unable to receive your A-CSPO until you have a full year of Product Owner experience.

- Validate at least 12 months of experience as a Product Owner within the past five years on your Scrum Alliance Profile. If you do not have the 12 months of experience, but want to learn and apply these concepts, you can take the class and document the experience as you get it (you will not have the A-CSPO until you have all the experience documented).
- Accept the A-CSPO License Agreement and complete your Scrum Alliance membership profile.
Note: There is no exam for the A-CSPO certification and you are eligible based on successful completion all educator-designed components of the course and the 12 months of experience. You may take the A-CSPO course at any time after completing your CSPO certification, but you must have at least 12 months of Product Owner experience logged into your Scrum Alliance profile before you are eligible to receive your A-CSPO certification.

Upon completion of the course and having fulfilled a year of CSPO experience, you will be eligible for the Advanced Certified Product Owner (A-CSPO) certification from the Scrum Alliance.
