Hello Scrum Community,

I have recently completed my PSM I and PSM II certifications, and my goal is to excel in Scrum Mastery. I aim to either work as a Scrum Master or become a trainer in the future. I’m seeking advice on what certifications or learning paths to pursue next to deepen my expertise and broaden my skill set. 

Are there any additional certifications or courses you would recommend? Also, in what order should I pursue these to maximize my learning and impact as a Scrum Master?

Thank you in advance for your insights!

Are you currently working as a Scrum Master, trying to apply what you learned as part of your certifications?

Damien Reed - Yes, I am currently working in a capacity where I apply Scrum principles, though not officially as a Scrum Master. I’ve been managing operations and HR responsibilities in a startup, and I have started incorporating the Scrum framework into our processes.

Are there any additional certifications, courses or learning paths you would recommend? Also, in what order should I pursue these to maximize my learning and impact as a Scrum Master?

PS: I do not have a technical background.

My recommendation would be to get a job as a Scrum Master and get some hands-on experience.  There's a lot you'll learn that certs, courses, and learning paths can't teach.
