Availability of PSD I assessment without course
Hi,
On the following page on Scrum.org:
http://www.scrum.org/Assessments/Professional-Scrum-Developer-Assessmen…
It states:
"At present, Professional Scrum Developer I assessment and certification is open only to those who have taken a Professional Scrum Developer course. Assessment is currently based on the body of knowledge contained in the courseware. Once the body of knowledge has been formalized as a Scrum Developer Guide, the assessment will be open to the public and anyone – including those who have not taken a Professional Scrum Developer course – will be able to assess themselves. "
Can anyone tell me how long it's likely to be before the public can take the assessment without requiring attendance at a course?
Thanks in advance.
That subject line should of course read, "Availability of assessment WITHOUT course". Sorry!
Hi Craig,
Thanks for your question. As soon as this is done there will be an announcement.
Best,
Daniel
Thanks for your reply, Daniel.
Do you have any ideas of vague time scales for this?
I appreciate you probably cannot give an accurate date, however I'd be good to know if this is something that is likely to be weeks, months or years away.
Thanks again.
Having taken the course, it still would be handy to have a PSD 1 practice assessment.
Very likely not weeks, or years. ;-)

Hi Flavia,
This is on our backlog.
Best,
Daniel
Most likely over halv a year now :-)
Would also be interested.
Hi Daniel,
It's been around 8 months now since your last post indicating that the assessments would be available without requiring course attendance and that this was "on your backlog".
Can you possibly provide an update as to where this is at and when it may be available?
Thanks.
Hi Craig,
Thanks for your question. Separating the PSD I assessment from the PSD course is on the backlog. We’ve been focused on other initiatives, however, we expect it to be released sometime near the end of this year.
Best,
Daniel

Any update?
Now as I can see it's open and not required any course. Let's try to get PSD now ;)
Hi. Could any of you please share your experience of taking PSD 1 exam and the resources you used to gain knowledge and pass the exam. I am Full stack Developer/Business Analyst and have several years of experience working in Scrum team. I also recently passed PSM 1 and PSPO 1 certifications in first attempts. I am planning to take PSD 1 exam soon. Thanks you in advance.
Ashwin, as with all of the certifications offered by Scrum.org; there is a corresponding list of study and reading materials to help you learn and pass. Look at the Prepare for the Assessment section on this page and you'll have all the info you need.

Hi, Ashwin
Can you please tell me why do you need to pass this certification? I am not against it :) I am just asking
Just one comment, because I do want to offend you at anybody else, but really I can't understand what exactly gives this certification. So, waiting for your reply
