Ralph clearly knows what he is talking about
There was a lot of material to cover, and I think Ralph did this in a well structured way, with a very deep knowledge of the role of a PO and Scrum in general. Especially liked he could give us examples of when he worked as a programmer.
Minus one star because I felt a bit restricted in the breakout rooms with my team, I would have loved for some sessions where everybody in the training session could speak, so we could learn form other people in our own company. So in short, some exercises where everybody participates

Class hosted by Ralph Jocham, he clearly explained the scrum theory and the role of the Product Owner in it. The training was virtual and that is something that I personally do not like, but in this case there was good use of the break out rooms in teams. This gave some interaction which is always useful.

Ralph Jocham is great teacher. He made learning interesting in both theory and practical part of course.

Insightful and Knowalgeble Sessions
Very well-organized training sessions that make us think about the concepts and nuances at a practical and theoretical level - I would say it connects the dots between theory and practice.
Most important - All questions and doubts are welcome.

A very structured view on PO
I consider the training as being very well structured, offering the right amount of information at the right pace.
I appreciate the fact that Ralph did not focus only on the PO but he offers insights on other matters related to SCRUM.
For me it was a very useful training that I highly recommend.

Good introduction to Agile for aspiring Agile leaders
Almost always work in some capacity in a scrum team and always feeling frustrated with the management, I find that this course definitely covers the essentials of what an Agile leader needs. All too often, one always hear the top brass says lets do Agile, but the environment never changes to support the team.

PSM-1 Training from Ralph
Took the PSM-1 Training from Ralph. Being a Scrum Master I can vouch for the trainer and the content which was taught to me. The whole training was really effective and I still love it when Ralph answered every generic question using real-life examples. I would totally recommend Agile Actors for Scrum training.

Great training! Worth taking
I liked that we were divided into small groups where everyone had ability to speak up. Ralph described all the basics in a clear way and gave us a lot of guidance what to read next and how to improve further. I hope I know have all the needed knowledge for passing the exam. Only the time will show.

A good basis that ought to be expanded upon with other references for the PSPO 1 exam preparation sake
The offered materials made up a good basis for building one's knowledge upon the whys and wherefores of the Product Owner. Overall, time management was an issue given the breadth of the topics and some items could have been addressed at a deeper level. The remote class was done through a collaboration-enabled tool that has offered great interaction. Our trainer and facilitator Ralph is extremely knowledgeable about empiricism, iterative and incremental product development. I was expecting more exercises directly connected to the PSPO 1 exam. The reading of two books "The Professional Product Owner" and "Essential Scrum" helped me in my exam preparation.

A great trainer
The had a broad knowledge and could grant us an easy access to the "world of scrum". Because of his long dev career he was able to share a lot from his great experience pool. Unfortunately this course was online-only (due to covid) and therefore a lot of practical exercises were quite difficult to manage, but in the end the outcome was still great.

SCrum Master Roche 26-28 Jan 2021
I have really appreciated the entire training and especially:
- exhaustive introduction of the fundamentals
- exercises in small team
- room for questions
- Answers supported by referenced documentation
- The training support and tools utilized
- Rythme of the training and the diversity of workshops
I invite you to consider
- having less examples around Software dev and more for other fields as well
- would it be added value to run a small sprint and practically utilize the various technics, I understand this is what we more or less did for the "car" but we did not went so much throught Sprint review / retrospective

Very scientific approach to scrum by a competent tutor.
The practical part consisted sometimes of creating thing and afterwards learning what is important while creating these things, which is not always the optimal choice of order, especially if you need the created items for other practical tasks and have no time to refine them.
I learned a lot. Thanks

Excellent class
It was an extremely useful and pleasant class. The trainer has a lot of practical knowlege and was able to transfer it clearly and effectively. The pace of the class was just right: not too slow that would cause distraction, not too fast that would make it difficult to absorb the content. There was a right balance of theory and practice, of listening and interacting that made all the information easy to understand, process and apply in the practical parts. All in all, an excellent class.

I really liked Ralph's training and Ralph's personality. Well prepared (Mural is great), good activities, well explained. I could see Ralph has loads of experience and knows what he is talking about.
I could see Ralph has experience as trainer, he brought several non-formal activities to the workshop. I liked he let the teams try first and explain later.
The only suggestions I would do is to ask for people's expectations in the beginning, also explain there are no right or wrong answers, and to explain whats the objetive of the workshop. I had the feeling some participants had different expectations and got frustrated in the end.
Thanks again!

Scrummaster
The teacher was great and told his experience in a really energic way. What I would have liked is a general start of the course. First some theory of what the rol of scrummaster is and some definition. On the second day more focus was put on the definition this would be better in a reversed way.

Excellent Course
Great Course, gives you a good overview of what is scrum and the role of PO. Praxis oriented and very interactive.
I would recommend the course to anybody who is starting to work with Scrum, has a new role as a PO or is thinking about taking new challenges.

Scrummaster
The teacher was great and told his experience in a really energic way. What I would have liked is a general start of the course. First some theory of what the rol of scrummaster is and some definition. On the second day more focus was put on the definition this would be better in a reversed way.

Excellent experience
Excellent experience. One thing to consider would be to include a whole session on implementation issues and how to tackle them. Also even more real-life examples would be excellent.
