What students say about Jim
Apr 25, 2025
Totally recommend it
One of the best courses I’ve ever attended. Well structured, with every "timebox" respected — Jim had a perfect "backlog" and guided us through successful "sprints", so the exam "increment" is bound to be a win for all of us. Great job, Jim, and thank you!

Comprehensive & engaging
Had a great experience in this course led by Jim. You can tell he is very experienced in the subject and did a great job at keeping the group engaged.

Engaging coaching for all levels of scrum understanding
Jim was a very engaging coach and was patient and interested in us talking through our understanding as it developed. We were in a fairly large group coming with very varied levels of understanding of scrum and wider agile practices so it was impressive that he could pitch the sessions for all levels and bring everyone up to speed. There was a lot of opportunities for everyone in the session to get to know eachother better as we come from different programmes in our organisation.

Good course for Agile Product Owner
The class was very dynamic and the instructor was great...he really knows the topic. The activities helps to fix the knowledge and put in practice the theory.

Great learning with a very very knowledgeable Coach
Scrum was a new concept for me but learning received during the course has got me excited to not only get PSM1 certification but also try to enhance my knowledge on the concept and maybe go for next level of certifications.
Jul 3, 2023
Excellent course and content
Great course and content! I particularly like the practical elements and the way Jim challenged many of our long held opinions of what Scrum is. I've left the course a re-invigorated Scrum Master with better ideas on promoting Scrum and dealing with 'scrum buts' and anti-patterns at all levels of an organisation.

Very good interactive course
Very good interactive course. I'd previously done an online one but would recommend this over that any day. Jim came to our work place for 2 days. Jim was very informative and coached us through the information needed to complete the course, whilst having a good fun at the same time. would defiantly recommend.

This course is perfect for anyone that is starting their journey in Scrum facilitation and needs some hints and tips, and also more experienced facilitators needing some additional items for their toolbox.
Dan was a great presenter who clearly knew the subject matter well and had some excellent examples to use alongside the course material.

Great way to dive into Scrum
Great interactive way for getting a solid understanding of the role of a scrum master within an agile operation. Jim provided concise explanantions along with valuable experience based insight. The group exercise are ideal for making you think about the principles, how they can apply to your current work and how your work processes may have to adapt and change.
Definitely come out of this training with a good grasp of what it means to be a scrum master and more confident in starting on the scrum master journey.

Excellent course, well knowledge & experienced trainer strongly recommend for everyone who like to know about scrum!
Excellent course from scrum.org and wonderful training from Jim Hosier. The sessions were well structured, good examples, case studies, engaging and good timing. I didn't even realise that I am attending a training and felt being part of one big team. I would strongly recommend this course to both new/experienced scrum masters, product managers, developers and even others who would like to learn and keep them on top of scrum.
Jim shared some real world experiences which we were able to relate to our current and previous projects. Main takeaway for me is, Scrum will not solve your problem, rather it will expose them. Absolutely nailed on this one, I am still reflecting on my mind on the projects i worked and working on to how can we avoid this in future! Also the change in mindset is not only for the team but also for the stakeholders that we interact was a pretty good one :)

Jim is extremely pragmatic, matured, highly experienced and pro-active and a practical trainer who comes along with an ammunition of real life examples from his massive industry experience and a always a big smile. Thank you Jim and look forward to being on another of your trainings in near future.

I participated in Jim's SCRUM Master and Product Owner Agile course. He is honestly one of the best trainers I have ever met.
He has the ability of taking a very complex course and delivering it exceptionally well. Also please note this course was online with 21 other members and pretty much everyone got the maximum out of these 4 day sessions.
I would highly recommend Jim's services to anyone that is looking learn about about Agile. Thanks again Jim.

I liked the class
I liked the class. The instructor Jim was very clear about "real, pure" SCRUM to make us understand the terminology, the concepts, the no-no's etc. It was a bit tiring to do the class via ZOOM, wished it was in person, but all in all, time well spent.
Thanks a lot!

Nov 28, 2019
Fantastic two days!
The 2 days were fantastic which provided a great insight into current scrum standards. It was very thought provoking and engaging throughout. The real world examples provided by Jim were great to relate to, as well as help up apply this to our own ways of working. This will definitely help us understand how we can become more agile as a team and a business. Jim Hosier was fantastic in his delivery of the course and made sure that everyone was of the same understanding before moving on to the next section(s). The only build that i would have is that it is a lot of information to take in within 2 days. I feel like it would benefit from being extended to potentially 2 1/2 days or 3.

Engaging and incredibly useful course
Excellent course, presented in an engaging way, even through the challenges of pandemic remote working. Jim had a wealth of experience from industry to backup and help cement in the learning. Now the challenge sits with us to implement and modify our thinking into an agile mindset! Looking forward to the challenge.

Jim is extremely pragmatic, matured, highly experienced and pro-active and a practical trainer who comes along with an ammunition of real life examples from his massive industry experience and a always a big smile. Thank you Jim and look forward to being on another of your trainings in near future.

I participated in Jim's SCRUM Master and Product Owner Agile course. He is honestly one of the best trainers I have ever met.
He has the ability of taking a very complex course and delivering it exceptionally well. Also please note this course was online with 21 other members and pretty much everyone got the maximum out of these 4 day sessions.
I would highly recommend Jim's services to anyone that is looking learn about about Agile. Thanks again Jim.
Kind regards,

I liked the class
I liked the class. The instructor Jim was very clear about "real, pure" SCRUM to make us understand the terminology, the concepts, the no-no's etc. It was a bit tiring to do the class via ZOOM, wished it was in person, but all in all, time well spent.
Thanks a lot!

Fantastic two days!
The 2 days were fantastic which provided a great insight into current scrum standards. It was very thought provoking and engaging throughout. The real world examples provided by Jim were great to relate to, as well as help up apply this to our own ways of working. This will definitely help us understand how we can become more agile as a team and a business. Jim Hosier was fantastic in his delivery of the course and made sure that everyone was of the same understanding before moving on to the next section(s). The only build that i would have is that it is a lot of information to take in within 2 days. I feel like it would benefit from being extended to potentially 2 1/2 days or 3.

PSM2 course
Outstanding course, provides opportunity to gather insight & analysis into the scrum framework and how to successfully operate as a scrum master.
Structure of the course is involving, engaging and includes multiple facilitation techniques that an attendee can experience and understand for re-use with other teams.
Highly recommended.
