Membership to Scrum Alliance is included as part of:
- Completing a certification course with one of our authorized trainers
- Completing a microcredential course
- Attending a Global Scrum Gathering
Upon completion of a course or attending a gathering, you’ll receive a welcome email from Scrum Alliance where you’ll be able to set up your profile, access your membership benefits, download your certificates, and more.
Creating an Account as a Non-Member
You no longer need to complete a course or attend an event prior to creating an account. Anyone can now create a free account directly on our website:
- Go to the Scrum Alliance Website.
- Select Log in in the top right-hand corner.
- On the login screen, select New to Scrum Alliance? Create an Account.
- Follow the prompts to complete your profile setup.
Important Note for Enrolled Students: If you have already purchased or are currently taking a course, please do not create a new account manually. An account will automatically be created for you upon completion of your course, and creating a separate account beforehand can lead to duplicate profiles and delayed exam access.
