It was a good training, I wish we spent more time on applying the information

Cathy was very enthusiastic and kept the class interesting while also providing practical scenarios to help the class understand Scrum. Would definitely recommend.

Cathy was wonderful, friendly, and effective as an instructor!

Cathy is an excellent instructor! This 2-day class was via a zoom call and Cathy provided a fun and easy way for teams to interact and participate. She includes her own library of additional resources to help support her students. She also provided real world applications for what we were learning based on her own experiences which was very helpful. I purchased this class via Skillbook and I thought they did a great job handling the transaction and keeping me updated on the upcoming class, etc. Overall, great value for the money.

Thank you Cathy for a very well delivered training. Lots of great reminders and also new valuable information to continue on my Scrum Master journey.
