This class deep dives into SCRUM and is a strong foundation to get started

Transitioning the mindset from a Marketing Project Manager to a Scrum Master is no small accomplishment. I was comforted in knowing that it's a journey not a flip of a switch and patience is essential. I would have preferred to take the test on my own but felt I would have failed Scrum by not participating at the same level as everyone else.

We were lucky enough to be only 4 persons on the course, so we had much time for discussions and for pondering on how the principles taught related to and could be applied to our own situation at work. Jens is clearly experienced knows the Scrum framework well, both in theory and practice, and teaches with clarity and humour.

Jens is a great instructor! Very knowledgeable, interesting techniques, and personable.

Jens was amazing and really fostered a collaborative, fun, and informative atmosphere among the participants.

Thorough and well planned. The instructor had good visuals and activities to stay engaged.

Extremely engaging class! I was lucky enough to go through with a great cohort of team mates, and Jens provided an immersive, hands-on, and in-depth overview of scrum and how the scrum master fits into the team. Highly recommend this class!

I still have questions on how to apply to my current role. Format of training was good with the incorporation of audiovisuals, exercises and open discussion. The instructor was very good.

Great intro on SCRUM and entertaining learning.
