Why attend a Certified Product Owner Training?

Have you looked into Scrum, read an article or book on the subject? Do you think 'Sounds great, but ...:'
How do I schedule the project? When will it be finished? How do I steer the project? How do I negotiate with the team? How much will it cost? How do I offer this project? What do I do if price, date and amount must be fixed at the beginning of the project? How does an agile project deal with line management, reporting and other stakeholders? How do I fulfill my responsibilities as a Product Owner?
