The training is really good
The training is really good, provides a lot of helpful information either if you are currently a PO or you want to learn more about the role. It was a hands on training, interactive and provided real life examples as well.

Great course
Great course, would have preferred face to face, but having said that virtual turned out to be better than I was expecting.
Oscar displayed both knowledge and experience and explained things clearly to share this knowledge

Brilliant! Well presented professional scrum master course and gave a lot of value despite being virtual.
The material was well presented using Mural which provided a different style of learning and that helped to keep the course fresh. It was fast paced and Oscar was great at getting a good balance of contributions from the course attendees and the whole package exceeded my expectations of a virtual course.
It may be better to build a foundational course to cover the framework itself and then have top-up courses going into more detail for the different accountabilities. These could still be packaged together to provide a single course, but may help with expectations (even if people know the framework, it's still worth revisiting the foundations).

I have just attended a 2-day scrum master course, the trainer was brilliant. I have been on many professional development courses over the years to make a comparison, both the material and facilitation as one of the best I have attended. My comments are limited to the course, I can't really comment on the wider scrum.org, but if this course is representative, I highly recommend them

Scrum Master master class
Great course, full of info and tips for being an effective Scrum Master. Level of interaction was just about right and the use of Zoom and Mural together worked really well. Oscar was an excellent facilitator!

Great course on Scrum
I felt it was a slow start on day 1 but then we speeded up and I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Duncan really succeeded in engaging us on the learning path. Lots of interaction in the breakout groups. Could have swapped the members of the teams each day. Would have liked to see more testing of our knowledge on Scrum to be more confident to pass the exam, e.g. a 10-question assessment after each topic has been completed. Overall, a great course, and what a great summary email on the courseware and assessment tips at the end! Thank you!

The empirical process—and its three pillars of transparency, inspection and adaptation—involves checking where you are at by doing something, seeing how you did compared to what you were trying to do, and devising and carrying out experiments (practicing, if you will) to try and get closer to your desired outcome. This is the process that Scrum is designed to take you through with its framework, and we’d be remiss if we did not apply this same process to our learning. Learning is after all a complex problem.
