Thank you for the well written post. I consider most of the:
"What I just found out - a two day course/a CSM certification doesn't make you a scrum master",
"The world needs to know - a PSM doesn't equal expertise"
content as clickbait - challenging assumptions no one made. Mostly written by people having some PMP and being at the start of their career.
I have a professional teacher- in addition to a professional trainer education, having tought IT and economics in German schools grades 11-13 for 7 years. I'd rate the scrum trainings, even LeSS, or ICAgile, Kanban University or SAFe (and specially the newer cohort Mastery trainings) to be pretty good. I enjoy doing or "earning" the certifications, getting the one missing book from the recommended reading list and discussing real life problems with competent trainers. And I have been in charge of hiring a department of scrum masters - so my opinion on certs has some real relevance ;)
