How do I follow the hybrid Product Owner training?

1. You will receive the teaching materials at home a few days before the training.
2. On the first and second half day of classes (both from 09:00 to 13:00), log in to our Virtual Classroom via your laptop. With a maximum of 7 other participants, interaction is guaranteed, just like in a real Scrum team.
3. You will follow the practical workshop day (from 09:30 to 16:30) at our location in Haarlem together with the other participants as a Scrum team. During this workshop day you practice in practice and you experience how the Scrum theory comes to life in practice and what it is like to be a Product Owner in practice.
4. You get a personal online e-learning environment for your laptop and tablet. Using video material and quizzes, you can further familiarize yourself with the material and plan and take the exam.

What are the benefits of the Hybrid training?
The new way of working is partly at home and partly on location. Our hybrid Product Owner training fits in seamlessly with this and combines the interactivity of physical training with the flexibility and convenience of an online process. The best of both worlds.

During our hybrid training you combine two half days of interactive online theory with a full day workshop on location, where you will experience the role of the Product Owner in practice.

Because of this:

• you have to travel less and the two interactive half days can be combined with other activities,
• you can progress effectively and quickly  for your certifying exam,
• is there a start guarantee for the date on which you register, study material will be sent to you at home and
• because our groups are never bigger than a real Scrum team, interactivity is guaranteed both online and physically.

And what if I already have knowledge and experience as a Product Owner?

If you already have knowledge and practical experience as a Scrum Product Owner and you want to get your certificate as soon as possible, then our e-learning Scrum Product Owner is probably made for you.

How do I certify myself as a Scrum Product Owner?

With the Scrum Product Owner exam you certify yourself as an official and recognized Scrum Product Owner. At the end of the first training day you will have access to an e-learning environment that is personalized for you. You will find a lot of video material here so that you can watch parts of the training again at a later time. You also take the exam via the e-learning environment to certify yourself as a Scrum Product Owner.

You pick a day and time that suits you best in the e-learning environment. You take the product owner exam online and consists of 140 multiple choice questions. You have three hours to do this. The product owner exam is tough, but don't worry; During the training we prepare you thoroughly so that you can take the exam with confidence. At the end of the exam you will immediately receive the results and when passed you will be internationally certified as Scrum Product Owner Certified!

Which Scrum certificate do I receive?

The choice is yours. In our view, the two most important internationally recognized Scrum Product Owner certificates are: Scrum Product Owner Certified (SPOC) and Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO I). Of these, SPOC is the most generic, not specifically IT-oriented, certificate. PSPO from scrum.org is, partly due to its history, more IT-oriented. The Scrum theory required to obtain each of the certificates is of course the same. In general, PSPO exam questions are slightly more IT-oriented.

iPeople believes that Scrum is well applicable for many different types of projects and organizations and is not typically an IT affair. That is why we primarily offer you the exam and certificate for Scrum Product Owner Certified. However, if you wish, you can also choose to take the Professional Scrum Product Owner exam instead of the Scrum Product Owner Certified exam for an additional cost of €50. The choice is yours. If you prefer the PSPO exam and certificate, you can specify this when registering.
