His teaching is excellent and able to explain the doubt we had

Rowan is clear in his explanation, he addresses every students' questions.

Professionalism of the trainer

Good knowledge to know

Its a great course

Rowan made SM easy to understand and the pace was just right.

Rowan is very knowledgeable with Scrum, after doing the PO course, and had to come back and do the Scum masters course

I received Rowan's details under recommendation from a highly regarding Scrum Master. And he did not disappoint! The course material was excellent, well-prepared and laid out. What I love the most about the course was the interactive nature and the amount of hands-on tasks we had to complete. I was anxious about this before the course started, but Rowan's support and guidance quickly helped settle the nerves. I learned a lot of new practical ways to do my work every day. Time and money well spent!

In depth understandings of Agile Framework, through slides ppt and group workshops. It would be nice to have another half day of real-life scenario.
