1) How and where do I sign up for the CSM examination?

So a very important point to note here is that you cannot sign up or register for the CSM exam directly. In order to be eligible to write the CSM exam, you have to first go through a 14 to 16 hour training. It can be either online or in person, but it has to be with a Certified Scrum Trainer(CST). Generally, what happens is that these trainings get divided over a period of two days, eight hours each, and you can easily find your CSTs online and register for their courses. The following paragraph summarizes the aforementioned process.

If you just go on Google and type CSM training, you’re going to get many different related links, but if you ignore the sponsored ones you will see a Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Master(CSM) Certification link.
