There is no single SCRUMstudy exam fee, because the price depends on which certification you choose. On the GetVoucher catalogue, SCRUMstudy Scrum vouchers run from £0 for Scrum Fundamentals Certified (SFC™) to £349 for SCRUM Agile Master Certified (SAMC™), with the Scrum Master Certified (SMC®) voucher at £249 and the Scrum Product Owner Certified (SPOC®) voucher at £299. Every price is a one-off payment, and what each voucher includes is stated per product, so read the product page before you buy.

This guide lists the current prices, explains what a voucher fee does and does not tell you, and shows how to build a realistic budget. It also covers the wider SMstudy, 6sigmastudy and quality management range, since readers who search for one cost usually want the others too.

SCRUMstudy exam cost at a glance

The table shows the Scrum prices published in the GetVoucher catalogue, together with the exam format where we can state it. Formats are provider-specific, so never assume one certification’s exam rules apply to another.

A few details are worth reading closely.

• SFC™ is free. You can start with Scrum Fundamentals Certified at no cost, which makes it a low-risk way to test the SCRUMstudy style of learning before paying for anything.
• SMC® and SAMC™ use online unproctored exams. They are not generic proctored assessments. Unproctored does not mean easier or less credible, and proctored does not mean more credible. It describes how the exam is delivered.
• The dual pack costs £519. Buying SMC® and SPOC® separately comes to £548 (£249 plus £299), so the bundle is the cheaper route if you want both credentials.

For a longer comparison of formats and pass marks across providers, see our Scrum exam format guide.

What the quoted fee covers

A price on a certification page can mean different things. It might be an exam attempt only, a training course only, or a bundle of both. Before you compare any two numbers, work out which of these you are looking at.

One budgeting guide notes that mandatory training from approved providers can double a budget if you discover the requirement late. That is a general warning, not a statement about SCRUMstudy, but it is the right reason to check what is required before you pay.

For each GetVoucher product, we describe inclusions on its own page. Depending on the certification, a purchase can give you access to the provider’s online learning resources, downloadable study materials and support for scheduling the exam. Do not assume that every voucher includes the same training, materials or delivery support. Open the page for the specific certification, such as Scrum Master Certified (SMC®), and read what it lists.

It also helps to keep four terms apart:

1. Voucher redemption: using your voucher code to unlock the certification.
2. Account activation: setting up your access on the provider’s platform.
3. Exam booking: choosing when you will sit the exam.
4. On-demand exam access: where an exam can be taken when you are ready, rather than at a fixed slot.

These steps are not interchangeable, and they work differently from one provider to the next.

Scrum Master cost: exam fee, training, retakes and renewal

When people ask how much it costs to become a Scrum Master, they are asking about several separate costs. Keep them apart.

• Exam fee: what you pay to sit the assessment.
• Mandatory training: a course some providers require before you can take the exam.
• Optional preparation: practice questions, books, study groups.
• Retakes: what a second attempt costs, if anything.
• Renewal: whether the credential expires and what keeping it current costs.

Providers set these differently, so a total for one provider says nothing about another. The main Scrum credential families, as we see them, work like this:

GetVoucher sells SCRUMstudy certifications. We do not sell Scrum Alliance or Scrum.org credentials, and the three providers do not assess learning in the same way. Check each provider’s own site for current fees.

It is also worth separating a pass rate from a pass mark. A pass mark is the score you need. A pass rate is the share of candidates who succeed. They are different numbers and say different things.

If you want the full cost picture, our guides on Scrum Master certification cost and on choosing the cheapest credible route go through it in more depth. Exam-only is not automatically the cheapest route for everyone, since your own study habits and any required training change the total.

SMstudy certification costs

SMstudy covers marketing and sales. Most of the professional-level certifications we sell are priced at £199 each, one-off:

The Digital Marketing Professional certification has no formal prerequisites, with the Fundamentals level only preferred. Its exam is a 100-question, 120-minute online unproctored test, not a project-based assessment. The SMstudy Social Media Marketing Professional certification works differently: it requires the Digital Marketing Professional prerequisite and uses an 80-question, 90-minute online unproctored exam. It focuses on social-media strategy rather than guaranteed short-form content production.

This matters for cost. A certification with a prerequisite means you should budget for both credentials, not one. Browse the Digital Marketing category to see the current options and their order.

Quality management certification cost and path

Quality management is where costs vary most, because the field includes several unrelated providers. The owner of this site treats them as separate: 6sigmastudy, ASQ, and IASSC/PeopleCert each have their own prerequisites, exams, project requirements and renewal rules. A Six Sigma belt from one provider does not carry the same requirements as the same-named belt from another, and belt progression is common guidance, not a universal rule.

The 6sigmastudy vouchers on GetVoucher are priced as follows:

The dual pack costs £418 against £439 for the two Green Belts bought separately (£149 plus £290). Lean, Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma are distinct bodies of practice, so choose on content rather than on price alone.

A sensible path and what it does to the total

Many learners start with the free Six Sigma Yellow Belt to learn the vocabulary at no cost. From there, a Six Sigma Green Belt at £149 is the next step, and the Black Belt at £299 is available for those who want to go further. That is one common sequence, not a requirement for every provider.

If you are comparing with ASQ, note that the ASQ Green Belt requires relevant work experience but not a documented project, while the ASQ Black Belt has separate project requirements. Do not read these as a ranking: a project-based route is not universally superior, and not every certification needs a portfolio or assessed project.

Building a complete certification budget

The exam fee is rarely the whole story. Budgeting guidance consistently points to direct, indirect and variable costs: exam fees, courses, books and practice tests, the value of your study time, and possible retakes or recertification. Another guide stresses that training, study materials, retakes and recertification all sit on top of the base registration fee, and that hands-on learners who want guided help will usually spend more than confident self-studiers.

A cost calculator publisher suggests looking at renewal costs over a three-year window, because long-term upkeep can change which credential is cheaper overall. That is a useful habit for any certification, and one that applies when you compare providers.

Here is a worked example, using only figures we can state. Suppose you want both Scrum Master and Product Owner knowledge:

1. Start with SFC™ at £0 to check the learning style fits you.
2. Buy the Dual Agile Pack at £519 rather than SMC® and SPOC® separately at £548.
3. Add any optional preparation you want, such as practice questions. Price these yourself, as they vary.
4. Check the provider’s rules on validity and maintenance before you finish budgeting. Our pages on maintaining your SCRUMstudy certification and what expires and what does not explain this.

Your core outlay in that example is £519. Everything else depends on your habits and the provider’s current rules.

Our perspective

We built GetVoucher because the first question learners ask is almost always about price, and the honest answer is usually buried across several provider sites. A voucher fee is easy to compare only when you know what sits inside it.

Our view is that a free or low-cost entry point is the sensible place to begin. SFC™ and the Six Sigma Yellow Belt cost £0, so you can see how the provider’s material is structured before you commit to a £249 or £299 credential. For people who already know they want both Scrum Master and Product Owner knowledge, the bundled pack is designed to make that cheaper than buying each separately.

We also think a certification should be judged on fit rather than reputation alone. It shows that you have studied a body of knowledge and passed an assessment. It does not prove how you will perform in a role. We would rather you choose the credential that matches your work and your budget than the most expensive one on the list.

Where to buy and what to check first

If you have decided which credential fits, you can buy the voucher directly from the GetVoucher catalogue. Each product page states what that specific voucher includes, so read it before checkout.

If you are still deciding between roles, our guide to matching your role to the right Scrum certification walks through the options, and how to pass the Scrum Master exam covers preparation once you have chosen.
