The way this CSM certification was taught by Peter Saddington was absolutely classic!!! I can't thank him enough for all the gold mines he dropped in this course. He was able to take a 16-hour course and keep us engaged for every second -- not a minute lost. This course is 100% engagement through a visual board and teams almost right from the start -- no boring Powerpoints used here. He also provided really good after course references via books and articles to continue on our learning and implementation of Scrum principles. He is NOT only an amazing instructor, but a master at motivating -- Hats off to this man!!

I recently completed the Certified Scrum Master course with Peter Saddington, and it was a fantastic experience! This hands-on course gave us the opportunity to fully immerse ourselves in a sprint, which really brought the concepts to life.Peter is an incredibly knowledgeable instructor who knows how to keep the class engaging with his sense of humor and interactive approach. Not once did I feel bored or disengaged—he truly knows how to make learning enjoyable. If you're considering a Scrum Master certification, I highly recommend this course with Peter. It’s informative, practical, and fun!

Karla Horrell

The certified scrumaster course trained by Peter Saddington was fantastic. Peter is a one of a kind human being. His life experiences and work experiences in Agile at companies enrich the course content and his teaching style of visual learning in miro and of teaching by doing through hands-on scrum activities help to cement the concepts by practicing them in small groups. Just an awesome class that I highly recommend. It was a ton of fun and it helped me pass my exam on the first try easily.

I registered for the CSM certification course with Peter Saddington. He is an awesome instructor. His style of teaching makes the information very easy to digest and understand, also fun and approachable. He doesn't speak in excess or in an unnecessary "I'm smarter than you" language. He teaches in a style and vernacular that is relatable and easy to follow along. He also provides key tips for the test and tips for being a scrum master in practice, and teaches in a multi-sensory and interactive approach - i.e. verbally, visually, and a lot of practice exercises to really understand the principles you are learning.

Peter S. was an extremely engaging and knowledgeable teacher. His relaxed, yet focused, style kept the material fresh and interesting. His activities were good at requiring group participation, as well as accurately simulating the timeboxing and processes of scrum. Highly recommend, would definitely attend more of his courses!

Mark Gandy

If you are thinking about getting your Scrum Master Certification, Peter is truly a Scrum expert and delivered all the material with ease, skill, humor and gave tons of tips and tricks of the industry. He is passionate about what he does and is great at bringing what could be mundane material to life. Thank you for a great experience

Amy Spyridon

Peter (instructor) was absolutely amazing. He explained the information so well someone not familiar with SCRUM (me) was able to understand the gist of a Scrum Master (SM). Peter thank you for your humor and for sharing your life stories/experience. I’ve already recommend Peter to others interested in becoming a CSM.

Bree Davis

The CSM course was great! Peter is great to learn from - so many great tips and putting things into practice right away to help make things real helped understand all concepts.

Peter Saddington is an excellent coach. Thank you Peter for the great training sessions you've provided. Your expertise and knowledge of the subject matter has been invaluable in helping me to understand and apply what I've learned. The sessions were so well organized and enjoyable.
