What is Certified Agile Leadership 2 (CAL-2) training?

The Scrum Alliance Certified Agile Leadership (CAL) program is a special multi-part education and practice-based program to develop agile leadership competency and maturity. It is designed to increase your leadership effectiveness and learn how to be a better leader, no matter what your role.

CAL 2 is an advanced education, validated practice, and peer-based sharing program that consists of learning and practice across three categories. The goal of CAL 2 is to guide leaders in deepening, applying, and sharing their agile leadership learning.

CAL 2 is often a year-long journey, with deep dives into personal agility and leadership development. CAL 2 requires CAL 1, as well as successful completion of:

Advanced Education – additional education on a unique leadership development topic, customized to your learning journey and mentored alongside an approved CAL Educator
Validated Practice – taking your new skills and insights and putting them into practice back at work
Peer-based sharing requirements (Peer Workshop) – experience cohorts and networks from around the globe–meet and share with other leaders at global organizations and learn and share together

You will need to maintain your CAL 2 certification by earning Scrum Education Units^® (SEUs) and renewing your certification every two years.

Student Successes

The Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Developer courses that Michigan Technology Services set up for our organization were great. The instructors (Mark and Angela) were outstanding.

- SF, Senior Software Developer – Hewlett Packard Enterprise

The instructors were top notch and made the courses exciting. I have taken Cisco CCNA, Linux and SQL admin classes and I find myself using the knowledge gained every day. If you value getting quality content that will be relevant for years to come, take these courses with Michigan Technology Services.

- SP, Detroit Network Team Manager – Global Advertising Company

I have taken the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner classes from Michigan Technology Services and thoroughly enjoyed the class content and instructors. I found the ScrumMaster class particularly engaging and energizing as the instructor was top notch. Both classes fueled my passion for agile project management and team dynamics which I have used to drive change in the way my department executes and thinks about running software development projects. I highly recommend Robert and his company.

- Daniel King, Senior Project Manager – AAA Michigan – Auto Club Group

In February of 2015, the Detroit Housing Commission reached out to Michigan Technology Services to request Microsoft Office Excel training for the staff. Within a few days, Rob was able to set up the services at a very reasonable expense. The trainer was superb, knowledgeable and very patient with the students. It was one of the best trainings that we have ever had.

- De’Onna Henderson, Director of Asset Management – Detroit Housing Commission

We had an excellent experience working with Rob at Michigan Technology Services. He went above and beyond helping us to design three days of onsite customized SharePoint training for our associates. The trainer was beyond knowledgeable and instrumental in the success of the project. If customized training is what you are looking for, we are confident that you need not look any further than MTS for your business training needs.
