Interactive and comprehensive Scrum Training
Mihai did a wonderful job as a Scrum Trainer during the training I attended through University of Westminster. Not only he displayed his vast knowledge and deep insights into Scrum but he was patient, took time to answer questions from every participant and made the session, spread over 2 days, interactive and interesting. The breakout rooms provided ample opportunity to share ideas with others in the group and Mihai provided his expert opinion explaining how and what needs to be done when using Scrum.

One of the best training experiences I have ever been part of
The PSM I training with Mihai Olaru was one of the most well-prepared and interactive trainings I have ever been part of. The theory was always backed up by practical exercises, which were followed by valuable debriefing sessions.

Mihai followed up with a very nice list of learning tips and resources which turned out to be very useful in the preparation process and helped me get my PSM I Certification with great results.
