Alex Gbaguidi

Alex provides a really engaging experience, his passion for scrum kept us at the edge of our seats for two day! Would highly recommend this class and Alex as a trainer!

Alex combined in-depth knowledge of scrum with a passion for teaching it. This created a delightful and practical learning experience. He kept us engaged with the learning process right to the end of our two-day course.

Alex has this rare and important faculty for the effectiveness of the course to combine fun, theoretical learning and the sharing of experiences. I passed my exam on the first try thanks to his teaching. I recommend this teacher without limit!

Une expérience enrichissante avec un formateur atypique et une équipe dynamique

Alex was great and kept the learning experience fun and interactive. I would recommend this course to others.

Excellent delivery of the material. The class was a safe space , interactive and full of exercises to reinforce the material. Many thanks.

Very interactive; responsive and took time to explain and connect the dots between real life experiences and scrum official guide.

The training was very impactful. I learnt the core fundamentals of a Scrum Master in the short time. Alexandre Gbaguidi was engaging and ensured that we understood the material presented. He was responsive to our questions. The additional resources provided was a bonus that we can always have in our repository. Great job!

Great class, Alex did a great job actually showing how a Scrum Master does business. Highly recommend!

Alex was great at explaining and illustrating the scrum framework using a variety of examples. As someone who is transitioning from Waterfall methodology to Agile I feel confident in the my understanding and application of Scrum by attending this class. Lastly, Alex made the class engaging and fun through-out the 3 days, which is impressive considering the course material and diverse audience.

A class combining pieces of theory with practical perspective, helping to navigate through the scrum framework and vocabulary. A bit of cognitive dissonance where super basic examples were intertwined with quite challenging scenarios.

Great & engaging trainer. Alex made sure everyone was engaged and included in conversations. Enthusiastic and energetic style of delivering the training. Thanks, Alex!

Formation Passionnante et bien menée. Merci Alex. Adapté à des cas pratiques.

Le Formateur maitrise son sujet, la formation a été pratique . j'ai vraiment apprécié la formation , elle a été très enrichissante. Merci Vraiment à Alex qui à su nous donner une formation en agilité Scrum

Excellente formation, le formateur maitrise vraiment bien son sujet et donne envie d'apprendre. Je remercie Mr GBAGUIDI pour sa qualité d'écoute et pour sa générosité dans la partage des connaissances.

J'ai beaucoup apprécier la session. La session etait beaucoup interactive avec des cas pratiques grâce à l'expérience et la maitrise du formateur.

J'ai réellement apprécié suivre ma formation avec Scrum.org . J'y ai découvert un coach bienveillant, passionné de transmettre ses connaissances, motivateur, bref un vrai évangéliste de Scrum. Grâce à lui, j'ai obtenu ma certification à la première tentative. Avec pratiquement zéro connaissance à l'entrée de la formation, j'en sors aguerrie avec une meilleure connaissance de Scrum et comment l'appliquer au sein d'une organisation. Je prends conscience que c'est un premier pas de ce voyage dans l'agilité qu'il reste affermir chaque jour. Toutefois, pour mettre davantage les apprenants dans le bain réel de la certification, je pense humblement qu'il serait encore plus intéressant qu'en lieu et place des examens ouverts de 30 questions, de prévoir peut être 60 questions en 45 minutes. Merci à Scrum.org, merci au Coach Alexandre GBAGUIDI

By taking this course, I learned a lot about the common mistakes that have been normalized. I think I will be a better Scrum Master from now on. Alex took the time to explain and practice each chapter to make sure we really understood what it was all about. Most importantly, the course was tailored to our African context with examples that I experience on a daily basis. I highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to become a REAL Scrum Master.

Alex was AMAZING! He helped me better understand scrum and even helped me with my own professional development. He knew his stuff and was not playing around when teaching us about scrum. I would recommend Alex to anyone looking to learn about scrum.

Alex was knowledgeable, generous with information, answered all the questions we had, and made the training real fun and interactive. The material is very beneficial for me personally as a product manager.

Great enthusiastic instructor

Alex is an amazing Instructor! Really made the class interactive and exciting! Was able to convey and explain what scrum really is. He really challenged us and made us think in many other ways. You can tell he enjoys teaching the class. Thank you for the experience Alex!

The class felt as though it started out a bit slow in terms of content. This may be due to me being provided a baseline level of knowledge prior to participating. As the class progressed it definitely became more interesting as we started practicing Scrum ourselves and learning about why things are the way they are. The instructor (Alex G.) had an infectious enthusiasm that greatly enhanced the satisfaction derived from being a part of his class. Upon completing this class I felt as though I had a solid appreciation for Scrum, but a slight deficit in terms of textbook information required for the PSM 1 exam.

The class was fun and never boring, we worked in teams and together and it was very participatory. Thank you for the dedication to us Alex

Alex is an amazing instructor who always has the students engaged. His class is very interactive and fun. He makes learning about Scrum very easy and understandable. I would recommend 10 out of 10 to anyone who its interested in Scrum. Alex cares about his students and makes sure we are understanding the concept.

Alex was a great teacher. Very engaging, caring, and made sure to challenge our thinking so that we learned as much as possible. Would take his class 20 times over. Can't thank him enough for being so energetic and compelling.

Alex is a great teacher with lots of knowledge, real world experience and passion for teaching.

Alex is very communicative and made the best effort to make the training more fun, less exhausting and kept it very informative. I recommend taking courses with him!

This was an AMAZING class! Alex was a wonderful, interactive and knowledgeable instructor. He engaged the class 100% of the time. I look forward to continuing this learning path and hopefully having him as my coach. I received more value than I expected. Thank you for having him as an instructor within your organization.

Alex was amazing and his approach was genius. Very fun, interactive and informative class. I highly recommend! Thank you

The way trainer maintained energy throughout the sessions is incredible.

A great instructor. Very helpful, keeps everyone engaged during the class and is very good at explaining the concepts. The course was very helpful

Alex est très pédagogue! Une très bonne formation et très structurée. Je ressors de la formation avec des bonnes bases Scrum.

Alex is an excellent trainer very dynamic, I appreciate the training, it was very informative and interactive, the knowledge was numerous

Interesting and interactive session. I recommend the PSM1 training with this instructor Alex. Without reading the Scrum Guide before the start of the course, I learned a lot from the practical cases projected during the slides. I strongly recommend it to you !

Very explicit trainer I leave this course with theoretical and practical knowledge for the Scrum Framework. I strongly recommend attending a PSM1 class with Alex. Formateur trés explicite J'en sors avec des connaissances theoriques et pratiques de Scrum. Je recommande fortement de suivre la formation PSM1 avec Alex.

It's a real pleasure to have taken classes with Alex. Good teacher with a high sense of sharing and leadership. I recommend him to everyone!

Alex is an engaging teacher who makes you understand and like SCRUM!

I'm glad that the students' understanding level was confirmed in detail.

In this training, I was able to understand the basics of Agile Scrum. In particular, the lecturer's experiences were useful in the future. Thank you, alex.

Alex san's teaching was really well and I understood many things from him. Thank you so much :)

Alex is an excellent teacher who gives you life!

Alex is an engaging teacher! Our YearUp class only had two days to complete our 16 hours of training with Alex. He made it his mission to keep us engaged, create spaces where small groups could work as a SCRUM team and made those two days enjoyable! He also held a study session and Kahoot session for us! Thank you Alex!

Alex drilled the right knowledge into our heads to pass the exam.

He's great! I learned a lot and he made learning about Scrum fun :)

Appreciate the atmosphere of work (the plateform used to collaborate, etc.)

Nice session with trainers, good collaborative interaction.

God job ! Maîtrise parfaite du sujet et très bonne connaissance de la démarche Agile et du framework SRUM

good formation!

Great online learning, fantastic instructors.

Great course. Great instructonal staff. Worked well online and good blend of instruction and breakout rooms.

This course was a fantastic opportunity to learn about Scrum and how it can help me go forward in my career. Both Ryan and Alex were excellent; patient, funny and easy to understand. I'll definitely recommend Optilearn to my colleagues. Great work!

Great course, one of the best courses I've attended both Ryan Brook and Alex Gbaguidi were excellent instructors throughout, passing on their knowledge and experiences to all of us who attended. Great delivery and course materials, lots of fun, role play and plenty of class participation. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

This two day package was done virtually- however the delivery and structure allowed it to be just as interactive and enjoyable as any course I have taken in-person. The trainers brought the subject to life with their approach to teaching, they worked incredibly hard to allow us to participate, discuss the topics and created an environment where the whole cohort worked together. I would recommend this course and the trainers who delivered it - 5 Stars.

Alex and Ryan exceeded my expectations. They went above and beyond to explain scenarios. The content and delivery of course was just right. I am now confident I can take the exam and pass it on the first try.

Ryan and Alex delivered a great PSM1 course over the two days. Thoroughly engaging throughout and worked really well as a teaching pair. Great knowledge and understanding of the content and backed up with real world examples and application, Cannot recommend more highly.

I was most impressed with not only the high standard of instruction, but the insightful, correctly paced, respectful and professional delivery. I really enjoyed the learning style over this last two days. Friendly and thorough Ryan and Alex were ambassadors to their organisation and should be commended. What made it even better, was that they donated their own time, expertise for free to the military. Thank you, respect and well done them. Alan Grant

Fantastic course from genuinely interesting and relatable instructors. This is a zero to hero style of course, no prior knowledge is required.

Engaging course with helpful and supportive trainers, providing a positive learning environment. The use of class participation through group activities and the use of an interactive environment helped to make virtual learning far more enjoyable than simply imparting knowledge.

This was a fantastic class which was made easier by the clear instruction given by the instructors. Open to questions at all times, no matter how silly, with answers given to ensure I was fully informed before the class continued. I would recommend this course to anyone in their resettlement period from the military.

My first insight into SCRUM and it's opened my eyes to a possible new career path. Great instruction from both Ryan and Alex. I will definitely be looking at future courses with them.

Really well delivered course. Interactive, fun and very knowledgeable trainers. Thank you, Ryan & Alex!

Great interactive platform. Great content.

The course was set out in a logical direction and when I was confused the Tutors explain my issues in great detail until I understood, using great examples or verifying my own.

Both Ryan and Alex delivered an outstanding PSM course, and they're highly recommended. The content delivered went above and beyond my expectations.
