Progress from Agile foundations through professional delivery and enterprise leadership in one connected pathway covering Scrum, product ownership, coaching, scaling, governance, transformation and portfolio practice.
Combine Foundations, Professional and Mastery in a 32 to 36-week integrated journey. Move from team-level Agile practice to scaled delivery and enterprise transformation themes with practical evidence throughout.
What you will develop
- Foundation stage: Agile values, Scrum and product ownership, backlogs, estimation, Kanban and team collaboration.
- Professional stage: coaching, roadmaps, scaling approaches, delivery metrics, governance and stakeholder alignment.
- Mastery stage: enterprise coaching, portfolio thinking, strategy, financial decisions and transformation.
- Connect Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps and flow-management examples with practical team and leadership decisions.
- Build a coherent portfolio of team, scaled-project and transformation simulation evidence.
Practical work
Connect a Scrum team simulation, a scaled delivery project and an enterprise transformation simulation. Agree sequencing and intensity with RDE; the integrated duration is not the sum of the standalone stages.
Career directions
Explore team-support entry routes and build towards Scrum, product ownership and Agile delivery responsibilities through experience. Advanced enterprise and director positions are later-career possibilities rather than immediate beginner outcomes.
UK salary and contract-rate guide
Evidence reviewed: 6 October 2026. These selected UK job-title benchmarks support career planning and are not junior-only or guaranteed post-course earnings. Ranges represent the 25th to 75th percentiles in separate IT Jobs Watch vacancy samples.
Scrum Master
Permanent advertised salary: £60,000 to £75,000 a year. Contract rate: £463 to £588 a day.
Permanent salary source: Scrum Master
Contract-rate source: Scrum Master
The permanent sample contains 43 salaries over six months to 3 October 2026; the contract sample contains 123 daily rates over six months to 6 October 2026. These are different vacancy samples, not a matched pay package. Junior-specific rates need separate evidence.
Product Owner
Permanent advertised salary: £55,000 to £90,000 a year. Contract rate: £481 to £628 a day.
Permanent salary source: Product Owner
Contract-rate source: Product Owner
Both samples cover six months to 6 October 2026: 198 annual salaries and 176 daily rates. The job title is Product Owner, not the broader Product Ownership skill category.
Agile Coach
Permanent advertised salary: £70,000 to £80,000 a year. Contract rate: £481 to £613 a day.
Permanent salary source: Agile Coach
Contract-rate source: Agile Coach
The permanent sample contains only nine salaries over six months to 5 October 2026, so treat it cautiously. The contract sample contains 33 daily rates over six months to 6 October 2026. These figures are not specific to Enterprise Agile Coach or executive leadership roles.
Contract income depends on billable days, engagement terms, tax treatment including IR35, expenses and gaps between assignments.
Salary and contract-rate figures are indicative UK market ranges based on publicly available evidence reviewed at the stated date. Actual earnings vary according to experience, location, employer, sector, qualifications, responsibilities and employment type. Course completion does not guarantee employment, promotion or a particular level of earnings.
Mentoring and career support
Mentoring connects technical learning with practical development and professional evidence. Your programme includes six months of job-search support and three months of in-role support. Discuss the arrangements and starting dates with our team, including CV, LinkedIn and interview preparation. Employment is not guaranteed.
Certification and assessment information
Discuss preparation for SCRUMstudy Scrum Fundamentals Certified (SFC), Scrum Master Certified (SMC) and Scrum Product Owner Certified (SPOC). These are separate vendor credentials with their own assessments. Agree which preparation and examination arrangements apply to your pathway. The generic Agile Practitioner Certificate label requires a named awarding body and assessment.
Verify current SCRUMstudy certification pathways
Discuss SCRUMstudy Agile Master Certified (SAMC), SAFe Agilist and an appropriate Agile leadership route. For ICAgile, Leading with Agility (ICP-LEA) is a specific option to discuss; the source’s generic leadership label is not itself a named credential. Change Management Certificate also needs an exact provider and assessment. Confirm the current SAFe version and preparation route before booking.

Explore ICAgile Leading with Agility certification
ICAgile Expert in Agile Coaching (ICE-AC) is a competency-based expert designation requiring an accredited expert programme and the relevant prerequisite credentials, including Agile Team Facilitation and Agile Coaching. It is not an automatic award for attending this RDE programme. The source’s SAFe Program Consultant label now corresponds to SAFe Practice Consultant (SPC); agree the current official preparation and assessment route. Agile Portfolio Management and Enterprise Agile Leadership labels require exact awarding bodies, credentials and requirements.
