I feel incredibly fortunate to have taken the A-CSM course with Vic. His instruction, practical advice, and thoughtfully designed homework assignments equipped me with real strategies to implement positive changes within my team and transform how we work together. Vic is both highly knowledgeable and an exceptional teacher. He structured the course in a way that kept me engaged and interested throughout. I walked away with actionable ideas I'm excited to put into practice.

Vic was excellent and brought a great personality and energy to the class. He did a fantastic job of reinforcing foundational Scrum concepts while also introducing new ideas and approaches that I can apply in my role. I especially appreciated the book recommendations, which provided additional resources for continued learning. Vic shared many relevant real-world examples that helped bring the material to life. He also did an outstanding job of keeping the class interactive and ensuring participants remained engaged throughout the course.

I was very impressed with the wealth of topics and depth of knowledge Vic brought to his A-CSM class. The small class size gave us plenty of opportunity for discussion, feedback, and asking questions. I learned new skills and remembered old ones. I think the overall experience is great for any Scrum Master. Vic is a well rounded and patient instructor and I look forward to keeping in touch with him.

This class gave me a differant understanding of looking at how I manage my scrum teams. Excellent course.

Engaging content. Challenging material for this advanced certification

This training was very well organized, and it was clear that a great deal of thought and preparation went into developing the advanced content. I appreciated the Agile refresher, and now that we've had time in our Scrum Master/Project Manager roles, it was valuable to discuss real-world experiences and explore new techniques and approaches we can apply moving forward. The book recommendations were excellent, and I particularly enjoyed the smaller class size, which allowed for more meaningful discussions, knowledge sharing, and opportunities to work through specific scenarios and challenges together. Overall, it was a very engaging and beneficial learning experience.

Vic Bonacci did a terrific job teaching the class. Recommend highly! Will help with work.

Great class. Vic is an excellent instructor, very knowledgeable and kept the class engaged. Well worth the cost of the class. I would definitely take a class from Vic again.

Vic was a super instructor. He was excellent at going through and explaining very clearly all the concepts and was very patient in answering all our questions. Great experience!
