  6. Well, there is scrum.org and scrumstudy (relatively new but I quite liked their introduction course..it is free so you can give it a shot.. link is http://www.scrumstudy.com). There is scrum alliance as well but that is more or less the same as scrum alliance. All three are good, but scrumstudy seems to be the most innovative of the lot.
