No Death By PowerPoint! - Learn Scrum By Doing Scrum
Not all Certified ScrumMaster courses are created equal. With Agile Learning Labs, you will participate in project simulations and game-based learning exercises, so you can learn by doing.
Agile Learning Labs is famous for its unique style of teaching through innovative games and simulations--in fact, the entire class is run using the tools and techniques you'll be studying, so you'll have completed an actual scrum project by the time you graduate. You'll also come away with a list of "Aha!" moments as long as your arm, all of which will be things you discovered yourself, while actually doing scrum.
Every student will receive a copy of Chris Sims' book, The Elements of Scrum, which is used as a textbook in colleges and by other scrum trainers. You can read the first chapter, A Week In The Life of a Scrum Team online, or check out the five-star reviews on Amazon.
Students Say:
The course was excellent, engaging, and entertaining. The training materials were valuable during learning and will be excellent references for the future. I enjoyed that the learning was engaging and modeled situations you encounter in your typical project lifecycle. Chris was magnificent. Thank you for making the course content relatable, as well as your patience and guidance.

Chris' attitude and amazing aptitude for training were infectious, they have an incredible way of bringing together strangers in easy, small ways that I really appreciated. Chris has mastered the art of zoom training! Having Season join during the actual sprint simulation was a great extra piece of energy and way to tackle the materials.

My organization has sent colleagues through this course before and they have all rated it as highly as I have: 5 out of 5. The number of short breaks and the diversity of games, breakouts and tasks kept things fresh and interesting.
Mike Madelin
HR Operations Senior Program Manager, Equinix
If you're new to scrum or need certification, I definitely recommend this course! I really liked the practical sessions since learning the theory is quite easy but getting actual experience is quite hard. It was both practical and fun.

Reviews
Chris Sims is a great teacher. He is able to answer questions effectively and keep engaging discussions and activities.
Great way of getting Certified ScrumMaster certificate. Streamlined, engaging and very proffesional.
Chris did an amazing job making the content relatable and providing ample opportunity for scenario role play.
I found this workshop incredibly valuable however I did receive the discounted unemployment rate as I'm currently in between jobs. To be completely honest, I don't feel that the value provided by the workshop equals the full cost of $1000; the max I would have paid if I didn't receive the discount would've been $750. That being said, if you're able to receive a discount on or full coverage of the workshop I would absolutely recommend taking it with Agile Learning Labs and Chris Sims.
This is an effective product.
Chris was well informed and very comfortable to work with. I appreciated his enthusiasm and how naturally he knows information about SCRUM. It was easy to learn because of him and the way the course is set up. Thanks!
Instructor is highly skilled at the subject and the hands-on method used during the course is awesome.
Chris made the session very interesting
very helpful and efficient
Chris Sims is a wonderful, patient and value-driven coach, mentor and facilitator
