Awesome course, the dynamic and content of the course is exceptional. Rick has a lot of experience in this topic and awesome tips that can be used professionally.

Rick was extremely knowledgeable and kept the class engaged in the topics. Very approachable and willing to answer questions.

I thought the information was very useful for gaining a good foundation related to Agile/Scrum. Rick Waters is an excellent teacher, one of the best I've ever had the pleasure to learn from.

The information covered by instructor Rick Waters provided an excellent basis for Scrum Master certification. Rick used real life anecdotes and humor in his instruction and the group breakout exercises reinforced the material. Upon completion of the course, passing the CSM certification exam served as an example that the course material was thorough and accurate.

As someone with ADHD who is nearly a decade out of college, I was nervous about digesting and retaining all of the content from the CSM course. I feel like I hit the jackpot in choosing to take the course taught by Rick Waters. From his first-hand experience, to his style of lecturing, all the way to the materials he created and used in class, he was the most engaging teacher I could have hoped for. Rick allotted time for consistent breaks, provided many opportunities to participate in the class and in groups, and broke all of the CSM content down into manageable bites. Every instructor of any subject would be wise to take pages from his book; I've never felt so strongly about an instructor's style of teaching before. I will never forget the lessons Rick taught in just three brief days. If you're unsure of which CSM instructor to choose, I would say to look no further!

He was an amazing instructor. Made the class fun. Had conversations about real life scenarios for those in and out of the industry. Kept all students engaged. Would take any course with him again. Amazing instructor.

Very useful course.

I had the privilege of attending a Certified Scrum Master (CSM) course led by Rick Waters, and I can say without hesitation that his instruction was nothing short of exceptional. Rick brings an extraordinary level of energy, clarity, and professionalism to his teaching, making the entire experience not only highly educational but truly engaging from start to finish. What stood out most about Rick was his unique ability to break down complex Scrum principles into clear, digestible concepts, without ever compromising on depth or rigor. His teaching style is dynamic, thoughtful, and highly interactive. Rather than relying solely on lecture-based instruction, Rick created a collaborative environment that encouraged active participation, critical thinking, and real-world application. Rick was incredibly attentive to the needs of every individual in the class. He ensured that no question went unanswered, no concept was left unclear, and no student felt left behind. His patience, combined with his deep expertise in Scrum and Agile practices, gave the class a strong foundation in both the theoretical and practical elements of the Scrum framework. Throughout the course, it was evident that Rick is deeply invested in his students’ success. He went above and beyond to ensure that we not only understood the material but felt confident in applying Scrum in real-world environments. His use of practical examples, group exercises, and relatable analogies helped reinforce our learning and prepared us well for both the CSM exam and real Agile team settings. In short, Rick Waters is a world-class instructor who brings excellence to every aspect of his teaching. I walked away from his class with a solid understanding of Scrum, a clear vision of how to implement it effectively, and a deep appreciation for what truly great instruction looks like. I would highly recommend Rick to anyone seeking to become a Certified Scrum Master or deepen their understanding of Agile practices. His class is a masterclass in both Scrum and top-tier instruction.

Rick is an amazing instructor! Clear explanations from the beginning , engaging sessions, and very knowledgeable about Scrum. Helped me understand the concepts easily and apply them with confidence. Highly recommend!
