Course details
Welcome to an extraordinary learning experience in the world of Agile and Scrum with Dave Sharrock, a seasoned Scrum and Agile trainer with over 15 years of expertise. This training goes beyond the ordinary and is enriched by Dave's real-life experiences, making it a truly unique opportunity for professional growth.
Unlike traditional presentations, this interactive class focuses on genuine engagement with the attendees. Dave believes in the power of direct experience, and the class is designed around a simulation exercise where you, as participants, collaborate as a team to create a new digital product in real time. This hands-on approach allows you to grasp the underlying values and principles of Agile and Scrum by learning through doing, making mistakes, and learning from them within a safe and supportive environment.
Prepare yourself for an unparalleled learning journey that will not only equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to excel as a ScrumMaster but also instill the confidence to drive positive change and improve the delivery capability of any team.
"The course felt like a showcase (role modelling) of what we should be doing as Scrum Masters. The exercises really helped me to understand how to facilitate better and shed light on personal growth areas."
Key concepts

Reviews
I loved the experiential format of the course! I was engaged the entire time and actively participating so I never had a moment to be distracted. I learned so much about how to make sure i am using agile principles and the best way to work as part of a team and to collaborate more effectively. I definitely feel better prepared for the exam and i really learned by doing the exercises as part of a group.
Awesome course. Dave is very easy to understand and great in leading the class.
Very good course , highly highly recommend !
As a Certified Business Analyst (CBAP), the Scrum Master course has provided with a great understanding of the role of the Scrum Master and a better understanding of the Agile methodology. The course was well delivered. Dave and Leen have worked very hard to provide an excellent experience for all attendees. There was a very high engagement from the participants.
"Exceptional CSM training! Engaging sessions, practical insights, and an expert trainer made Scrum concepts easy to understand. I gained valuable skills for immediate application. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to boost their understanding of Scrum and agile methodologies!"
great product
Very interesting
The two days were very engaging and provided me with with everything I needed to know / confirm what I already knew. The other attendees were very interested (asked lots of good questions / made useful statements) in what was being taught and enthusiastic in the break-out rooms.
Matched the expected content, course was active and filles with useful content and activities.
Dave was knowledgeable and wants us to succeed. They offered plenty of exercises and time for questions and answers. Further, Dave offered to work with us outside of class to tackle some of the problems we are facing when trying to adopt the Scrum framework into our organization.
