What students say about James

James (Jim) was a great teacher
James (Jim) was a great teacher. He was funny, clear, knowledgeable and very patient so I felt comfortable to interrupt and ask questions which is sometimes hard with virtual teams. He helped make a bond through all the participants also which feels like and added bonus. I look forward to hopefully seeing him in the next level training or if I can get him to support in our Internal team trainings

Well prepared for exam
The training course was well prepared and the trainer Jim had years of experience to back up what we were being taught and give insight into how he has used scrum to facilitate success in companies he has worked at.

Good course for learning the Scrum fundamentals
I had a very nice experience with the APS course with Jim Quantrell as a trainer.
He is very passionate about the subject and employs great techniques to share his knowledge through various practical exercises.
Jim takes the time to provide real-life examples from his previous work experiences to make you understand the concepts.
Also, your questions are not left unanswered.
I believe it's a very good approach to learn about Scrum fundamentals.
Thank you, Jim!
