Alex is an amazing 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!

Very Interactive and Enjoyable. Maybe a little too freeform
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.

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.

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
