I enjoyed the course at Skillbook Academy that Steve Spearman coached. The material was professionally prepared. The course was very educational, right to the point, with lots of fun workshop activities. I learned a lot from Steve who is a true experienced Agile coach. Steve made a point to answer all questions, he was available for any help even during short breaks, and after the course was completed. I highly recommend Skillbook Academy and Steve as an Agile Coach.

Steve Spearman's handbook and online delivery using Miro board captured everyone’s participation and engagement. Sharing experiences and group discussions was beneficial for anyone who is new to scrum. Steve’s online lectures were very well prepared and thoughtfully organized. Highly recommend to anyone who is interested to take any lectures with Steve.

Sylvia Lim

I received professional training at a great value. I went with Skillbook Academy for my CSM certification and I have no regrets. The course with Steve Spearman was highly organized and executed very professionally during this time of remote training. All course materials were provided prior to the first day of training to get you familiar with what you need to know and they have a solid game plan, even backup tech if things were to go wrong, which they did during my training with them. All-in-all, highly professional, organized, and a great instructor. Highly recommended.

Great CSM Class. The instructor, Steve Spearman, had a lot of good practical experience and was excellent - good blend of instruction, videos and hands-on training. Course confirmed my believe in scrum as the way to go. It was good to see a variety of scrum skills levels in the course where the more experienced people were able to share experiences.

Frank Hiatt

Steve as an extremely effective trainer and I would highly recommend him for taking your next Skillbook course. His pacing and cadence allowed for easy engagement. His checks for understanding and noting important content for later review in preparation for the exam was very helpful. Overall, excelling quality course. I'll look to take more courses with him in the future.

I felt that this course did a good job of explaining things clearly and keeping it engaging. My instructor, Steve Spearman, facilitated in a way that made it painless. He made sure to give breaks every hour, he switched up activities the entire time, and he kept things to the point. I would definitely recommend this course for anyone looking to get their CSM.

I chose Steve Spearman because of the great reviews I read online. His teaching method of the course was excellent, and it helped me pass the Scrum Master exam on the first attempt. I recommend Steve Spearman to others and he deserves the highest recognition. 10/10.
