PSM I - Paul Ralton
Paul Ralton taught this course brilliantly and I was excited to come to training in the morning. He presented the information covered in a variety of different interactive formats which made the learning process efficient and enjoyable. Ordinarily complex topics where broken down in ways that were easy to understand and absorb, with the help of group discussions and quizzes. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and can't wait to learn more on one of Paul's next Scrum courses!

Paul nailed it!
I was a bit sceptical of doing a remote training session over 4 mornings, as I'm used to the more traditional ways of training i.e. in person, solid 2 days, etc... but by god, Paul smashed this training, made it really engaging, used breakout rooms effectively and loved the music in between. I will 100% attend another training session hosted/ facilitated by Paul if this is the structure/ format... who says remote training can't be successful, needs to attend a Paul masterclass :) Thank you and Well Done Paul :)

Paul Ralton was a superb trainer
Paul Ralton was a superb trainer, working with the class to extract out relevant experiences from participants and engage the group with interactive exercises that bring the material to life. He skilfully applies the agile principles to inspect and adapt the sessions themselves. I was impressed how the Scrum framework has been adapted over to time to retain relevance and optimise the value it can offer to organisations.

He uses good examples for the group exercises to engage the whole group. Given the course has had to run remotely it was done to a fantastic standard and I found it to be as good as a face to face classroom course.

Paul was brilliant in leading the sessions for PSM. I felt he was able to keep engagement up by a great mix of discussion, knowledge sharing and hands on exercises. Perhaps even more of a testament is that I was able to successfully obtain my PSM certification shortly after the course wrapped up!
I've also gained a lot of great insights to the reasons behind why we use Scrum where I work, which has helped me in my day to day role, especially so from a better understanding of the Roles and Ceremonies involved. Came away with a lot of ideas for potential experiments to try as well. In short, would wholeheartedly recommend anyone looking to gain more knowledge on Scrum to have Paul as your trainer.

Paul runs some of the best workshops I have ever attended. He is exceptionally good at finding the right ways for people to engage with subject matter without ever losing pace, and has a genuinely pleasant delivery throughout.
His affinity for teaching is quite special, and I would strongly recommend his services.

Paul Ralton PSMPO course
Trainer was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Great use of resources such as Miro and Kahoot as well as group activities to reinforce what we have learned. I have been equipped with all the tools needed not only to pass the online assessments but also to succeed in my role by applying an agile mindset to complex tasks on an everyday basis

PSMPO Training Course Feedback
Having completed a wide number of training courses, I found Paul Ralton's PSMPO training to be of the highest quality in terms of delivery, materials and engagement of the trainees.
Paul's knowledge of the subject was immense and each session ended with an excellent summary of the sessions training and feedback on what worked well and what could be improved.
Overall rating: Excellent, highly recommended

PSM I - Paul Ralton
Paul Ralton taught this course brilliantly and I was excited to come to training in the morning. He presented the information covered in a variety of different interactive formats which made the learning process efficient and enjoyable. Ordinarily complex topics where broken down in ways that were easy to understand and absorb, with the help of group discussions and quizzes. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and can't wait to learn more on one of Paul's next Scrum courses!

Paul nailed it!
I was a bit sceptical of doing a remote training session over 4 mornings, as I'm used to the more traditional ways of training i.e. in person, solid 2 days, etc... but by god, Paul smashed this training, made it really engaging, used breakout rooms effectively and loved the music in between. I will 100% attend another training session hosted/ facilitated by Paul if this is the structure/ format... who says remote training can't be successful, needs to attend a Paul masterclass :) Thank you and Well Done Paul :)

He kept the content very interesting by excellent use of tools like Kahoot and Miro. He ensured that the course prepped us very well for the exam while ensuring that we understood the concepts well and how they would apply to real life scenarios. Attending the session made me really look forward to applying the principles in real life.

Paul Ralton was a superb trainer
Paul Ralton was a superb trainer, working with the class to extract out relevant experiences from participants and engage the group with interactive exercises that bring the material to life. He skilfully applies the agile principles to inspect and adapt the sessions themselves. I was impressed how the Scrum framework has been adapted over to time to retain relevance and optimise the value it can offer to organisations.

Paul is a great trainer. He makes the classes fun and breaks the content down into small enough chunks you are able to take it all in without information overload. I feel confident I'll pass with everything he's taught me.
He uses good examples for the group exercises to engage the whole group. Given the course has had to run remotely it was done to a fantastic standard and I found it to be as good as a face to face classroom course.

Paul was brilliant in leading the sessions for PSM. I felt he was able to keep engagement up by a great mix of discussion, knowledge sharing and hands on exercises. Perhaps even more of a testament is that I was able to successfully obtain my PSM certification shortly after the course wrapped up!
I've also gained a lot of great insights to the reasons behind why we use Scrum where I work, which has helped me in my day to day role, especially so from a better understanding of the Roles and Ceremonies involved. Came away with a lot of ideas for potential experiments to try as well. In short, would wholeheartedly recommend anyone looking to gain more knowledge on Scrum to have Paul as your trainer.
