Excellent Class - Can highly recommend Nils Oud as your PAL-E Trainer
I took the 2 days preparation class for the PAL-E in person. The experience I made with our trainer Nils Oud was outstanding. He was very structured and brought a lot of real world applicable cases to the table that helped me to better understand how to successfully apply an agile leadership to your organisation.
Therefore I can highly recommend Nils for taking him as a trainer for the PAL -E class.

Invaluable tips and advice
The course "Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO I)" with Nils Oud was very useful as it was a practical mix between theory and the experience of the attendees. Without a doubt, it is a course for which you must have a foundation of concepts or a little practice, since it does not delve much into theory. Nils makes the hours go by quickly between dynamics and exercises, that's very nice. In the end one is left wanting more since two days is not enough to cover all the material. But the tips and advice to pass the certification exam are invaluable.

PSPO I training with Nils Oud
Excellent training learned a lot of new stuff and successfully passed the assessment. The class contains some theoretical slides, but a big part of it is the discussions that start from these slides and have a lot of applied value, which I found the most useful. Would definitely recommend doing this class with Nils

PSPO I Training by Nils Oud - 23-24.09.2021
The 2-day training I have attended with Nils's class was such valuable experience. It was more like a workshop during which we had done a lot of interactive exercises and little projects. Through these Nils navigated us very proficiently to the key points and take-aways of the PO role and the entire Scrum framework and made us actually ponder over the theory and real-time applications that we could take with us for our future career as product owners. This class also helped with my PSPO exam which I've passed with a very high score:) All I had to do after
class was making sure I absorbed the Scrum Guide and reviewing the things we've discussed during the class. Thanks again for such comprehensive and enjoyable training.

PAL-E training by Nils Oud
The PAL-E training by Nils Oud ticked all the boxes. The group size (8) was large enough to have some discussion and differing opinions, but small enough to be able to discuss with the entire class. The contents were shared in a structured and constructive manner, while being supportive for areas that needed more or less attention. Nils was open for input and managed to include the individual learning goals during the class.

There was lots of space for reflection and sharing experiences in addition to the necessary theory. We didn't linger on things that were obvious to all and went in deeper in topics that were of interest to the group.

PSPO-A training by Nils was amazing
The PSPO-A training was very well organised and hosted.
There was a perfect balance between the theory and interesting practical tasks where people could interact and actively participate.
Nils is an excellent host and can create awesome space for adapting the scope to the needs, interests of participants to make sure they get the most out of it. I can and will recommend it to every PO who will be interested in taking that class.

PSPO-A Class with Nils Oud was very interactive and fast.
I joined the PSPO-A Class of Incrementor with trainer Nils Oud.
This training adds a lot of value above other sources that I used to become a better Product Owner. This class is filled with a lot of break outs in smaller teams, which helps to really THINK about the content and learn from others and their companies at the same time. The class was totally 'virtual' but breaking out and coming back went very fast and smooth. Also collaborating on shared digital whiteboards went well.
Nils Oud does not waste time.

Informative and well structured SPS online training
The Scaled Professional Scrum (SPS) training with Nils Oud was my very first online training. I’m happy that I was a part of this course despite my doubts about joining an online training.
The theory was supplemented with practical examples that led to easier understanding and encouraged me and the other participants to actively discuss the topic of the training. No questions remained unanswered.
Nils personally impressed me with his knowledge and his social interaction with all participants.
All in all, I found the training very interesting especially the part where Nils explained how to ensure that dependencies between teams get minimalized. I can’t wait to put this into practice and support my teams as a Scrum Master.
I really enjoyed the training and can recommend it to everyone who is interested in how to work with more than two teams.

Great PSPO training by Nils Oud
I attended the PSPO training by Nils Oud which was very well structured, much more comprehensive than I expected and far exceeded my expectations. A very good preparation for the certification from my point of view, but above all very practical with a lot of time for exchange and practical application. I can recommend the training to anyone who wants to learn more about the exciting task of the Product Owner and prepare for the certification. Really enjoyed the class and many thanks, Nils.

Agile Leadership (PAL-E) with Nils Oud
Insightful two days on the subject of Agile Leadership with Nils Oud. Despite a pandemic, Nils managed to provide my colleagues & me with a wonderful workshop exploring the space for agile leaders in our organisation, thus not only preparing us for our (PAL-E) certification with scrum.org, but even more so for the part of our agile journey that still lies ahead. I would highly recommend bringing Nils into your organisation, if you want to start a better dialogue on agile leadership, leaderhsip styles and maturity of leaders in your organisation and many more topics in the space between a leader and self-managing teams.
