Great value

Awesome. No complaints.

Excellent training delivered and lots of incentive for additional training opportunities.

Aakash is a great mentor ,very knowledgeable with in depth knowledge of SCRUM and Agile. He helped me with many other resources which might be useful for my career path. I wish him great success with his career goals.

I gained a wealth of knowledge and information from this intensive two-day course. Overall, I would recommend it. My only suggestion for improvement is to balance the content more evenly between the two days. Day 1 felt overwhelming due to the volume of information, whereas Day 2 seemed comparatively lighter.

Great training! Akashi is very knowledgeable and helpful. I found his additional resources very useful.

Akasah's expertise and teaching style made the course not only informative but also engaging and practical. I particularly appreciated how he structured the sessions to blend theory with real-world examples, which significantly enhanced my understanding of Agile principles and Scrum methodologies.Throughout the training, his enthusiasm and depth of knowledge were evident, creating a stimulating learning environment. His ability to answer questions thoughtfully and provide insightful explanations further enriched the experience. The interactive exercises and group discussions were instrumental in reinforcing key concepts and preparing us for practical application.As someone transitioning into a project management role, the skills and insights gained from his course have already proven invaluable. I feel confident in applying Scrum practices to improve team collaboration, efficiency, and project outcomes.

It was adequate, but could have been condensed.

Gained a wealth of knowledge and it also left me with a lot of questions to answer and focus on. I really enjoyed the style of teaching and how the pace of the course was executed. Aakash is a great trainer who can simplify complex concepts in Scrum! Highly enjoyed this course.
