Are there any Certified SCRUM Masters, or Certified SCRUM Product Owners here?

I just got the certifications and I am wondering if it would be worth it take the more advanced courses (paying out of pocket).

CSM and CSPO here. I recommend that you practice the methodology for a couple of years before revisiting this question. Training workshop would not replace real experience in the trenches. You will get a lot more out of the advanced courses with real practical knowledge.

Thanks, I’ve practiced the framework through my time at my agencies, however I’m noticing some Executive CDs maybe didn’t understand it since their mind had project managers inside participating in sprints and being active throughout the process.
