Great trainer, good collateral prepared, well organised.
Great trainer, good collateral prepared, well organised. The only reason that I did not give 5 stars is that it was a virtual forum due to the Covid19 situation, and that, for me, is not as effective as a classroom forum.
That said, the trainer, Chris Bexon, seems very skilled in using a virtual forum, so it was more engaging than I feared it might be beforehand.

PO Certification Training
My experience of the PO certification training I took was excellent. Despite being done remotely due to Covid, the format/structure was very engaging. Our coach Chris, was excellent - and so was was the team I was paired with for the two days.

The class was very entertaining
The class was very entertaining, interesting and well paced: Chris guided us through the concepts with experience and always made sure to involve everyone in the discussion, also the most shy ones.
As point of opportunity I think I would mention a bit more detail schedule of the topics covered, as the technique used for sharing, mostly MURALS, is not really well suited to go through the topics and repeat them for the exam.
A good value for money in my opinion. Also, an enjoyable experience.

Best course I have ever been on.
This is probably the best and most beneficial course I have ever attended and I would highly recommend for anyone considering a Product Owner role. The course also provided a very useful overview of Agile methodologies and the scrum framework which enabled me to see clearly where the role of a PO fits. I can't wait take what I have learnt back into my company and start making valuable improvements.
I was uncertain about the remote leaning session at first as never been on a course in this manner. However, the course worked exceptionally well and was a really good mix, of training session, practical exercise and break out room discussions.
Chris Bexan is clearly very knowledgeable in his field and make the course a fun environment in which to learn. Thanks.

Professional Scrum training-first class.
First-class and highly recommended. This was my first experience of professional Scrum training and it was excellent. Chris was able to adapt the course for the Covid-19 situation and ensured that all the participants got the maximum value out of the contact time. Chris was able to draw on a wealth of experience to bring the Scrum Master material to life and including appropriate elements of the wider Scrum Framework and Agile methodologies.

PSPO I with Calba - Pratice oriented/ Meaningful - Great Partner and Coach!
I belongs to the participant with no initial knowledge on Agile project management or Scrum. Chris efficiently explained how powerful the Scrum framework is. He leveraged the experience of the participants to illustrate when and why or why not the framework applies to an organization project and to illustrate the role of the Product owner in comparison to other scrum role. Chris also used example of is own business activities to illustrate the methods for the creation of a Product roadmap and the formulation of a "Vision". The training took place virtually due to Covid-19. We used the Mural application to perform group activities. I found this initiative very good but I did't found it ideal for all group activities. The 2nd day we intensified the pace of the training which may have been a quite to fast for me. Nevertheless I found this class great. I learnt a lot and I have the intention to continue working with Calba and Chris. I wish the situation will improve so that the trainings can take place at calba premises!

PSM 1 - Learning by Doing
In the 2 days I was immersed in all that is SCRUM, all learning was delivered through the completion of various teams exercises. Only on the second day was more information conveyed via slides. Chris encouraged us to live the SCRUM values and so 6 strangers self-organised into a group which could tackle the exercises making the course, for me, even more informative. Even when presenting a slide Chris made a point of going to the flip chart to explain further the concepts and share with us a number of techniques and hints. A very valuable experience and one which, as a member of my company's CIO Office, will guide me in building a more agile IT organisation.
