John was an absolutely brilliant trainer - his sessions were incredibly engaging, interactive, and enjoyable, and I would 100% attend one of his courses again. I even managed to get 100% on the exam! Thanks John!

The material was easily laid out and presented, I enjoyed every minute of it. I loved that the trainer was interactive and lighthearted, it made the 16 hours of training over 2 days easy to endure(enjoy).

Great experience and very interactive learning, which helped me to better understand the values, principles, and theunderlying concepts of the Scrum framework. I highly recommend John.

Good course

If you're looking for a course that is both highly informative and genuinely enjoyable, this is it. John does an incredible job of making complex Agile and Scrum concepts easy to understand. He keeps the energy high with a brilliant use of dad jokes and a surprisingly great playlist of background music, which really helped keep the learning light and engaging. Highly recommend John for anyone serious about getting their CSM certification!

I really enjoyed the relaxed and enthusiastic way John gave the course. The sessions and materials provided throughout the course were very well organized.

John is highly engaging and instructs with effective real-world scenarios and strategies. I highly recommend him and the Scrum Alliance CSM course!

Would highly recommend. A thoroughly enjoyable and engaging course. John is an excellent instructor who delivered the course with humour and with plenty of industry knowledge.

Wonderful training, thanks a lot John!
