Great online class with useful tools
Simon is a great teacher that knows how to keep every class member motivated. Even though the class was held remotely, we were all eager to take part in the discussion, as Simon made it very easy for us to interact. He drew graphs and pictures, he selected exercises and games, and he used tools that helped us assimilate the concepts.
I would strongly recommend him!

Excellent
Excellent. Although this was a 2-day full time on-line course the dynamic was intense and allowed an active participation of the whole team. Split up in groups and on-going discussions as well as the use of collaboration tools managed by the instructor Simon Bourk, was great. I would strongly recommend this course to others and senior management of companies to embrace the Scrum philosophy.

Very engaging and fun to follow class
The class was very helpful, engaging and well taught. Simon's coaching methods kept us all absorbed and focused on the material.
The class was virtual but it was extremely interactive and the whole process was easy to follow and allowed the whole class to participate and follow along at a good pace.
I would recommend Simon's class to anyone.

Very good and fun course
Very good and fun course. I learnt a lot of useful information I will be able to take back to my team! Thank you very much Simon!

Remote PSD Was Excellent!
I thoroughly enjoyed taking the PSD course with Simon Bourke. I know there's a lot of value in being able to attend courses like this in person, but I feel Simon adapted well to using remote collaboration tools (Azure DevOps, Teams, Miro, etc.), and we were still able to have a great learning experience. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn the Scrum framework and best practices from the shoes of a Developer!
Mike Torrence
Very well organized and prepared
I really enjoyed this class and I learned a lot. The material was well prepared and structured, with real life examples. Working on the class project was fun and informative. Thank you Simon.

Great online class
Simon is an excellent bilingual teacher. He has great learning tips, makes you think and discuss with the other participants. I think it was one of his first online class and it didn't show. We were 10-12 people attending the class which made for great discussions!
Christine
Amazing learning experience through a series of real Sprints
Simon created an amazing learning environment for us to experience Scrum first-hand in a series of real Sprints. Without giving away too much here: Simon's simulation helped us experience real-life complexities and invited us to reflect on how Scrum helps us surface, solve and prevent these challenges. Thank you, Simon, for the opportunity to participate!

The course was very good
The course was very good. If you're going to take it then make sure you read up on Scrum beforehand to get the most out of the course.

Très bon cours
J'ai bien aimé le dynamisme de Simon et sa méthode d'enseignement un peu unique qui a rendu ce cours fort intéressant. Le contenu du cours était facile a suivre et cette formation a excédée mes attentes.
J'ai donne 4 étoile dû a la salle de classe. On y étaient beaucoup trop à l'étroit et les chaises étaient très peu confortable.

Simon was an engaging and energetic instructor. His flipcharts were an excellent way to retain information and be reminded of key concepts. I like that he is always looking for ways to improve his class - very much aligned with the principles of Scrum

It's always about the people
It's always about the people, and Simon Bourk is the reason why I enjoyed the Professional Scrum Master I course so much, thanks to his highly relatable teaching and fun anecdotes. Looking forward to taking Professional Scrum Master II course in a year from now!

Professional Scrum Master (PSM) is a…
Professional Scrum Master (PSM) is a must for any new scrum master, The course is great and the teacher (Simon) is excellent. Lots of engagement and interaction. Simon keeps the class engaged the whole time and focused. Doing hands on activities keeps the students on their toes. This should however be a 2.5 day class. I think this could easily have continued for another half day.
5/5 Great course.

Never a dull moment
Never a dull moment
Simon ensures all your questions are answered as we take the path to learning about scrum and the role of the scrum master. The class is a mix of power point, flip charts, hands on activities and anecdotes from real life. No matter what type of learner you are - visual, auditory, manual -- you will have the chance to practice all three.
The diversity of how Simon presents the material ensures that the information is understood and remains with the student after the class.
Chantal Levert
Awesome course
i truly recommend this course - PSM. The instructor (Simon Bourque) is awesome and with his great knowledge and coaching capabilities, he made the class very interesting. The flip charts created during the class is as one would say « a picture is worth a 1000 words ».
Simon Gauthier
Simon is an outstanding teacher
Simon is an outstanding teacher. He is highly engaging throughout the class and can provide real-life examples to support the theory. He also has a skill to make the class fun and reinforces the learnings through practical exercices and live drawings throughout the class. We had the benefit of an on-site session with our entire team and he was able to provide practical advice directly applicable to our specific environment.
Highly recommended!
Michel Moubarak
Much appreciated
As part of Agile transformation, I was fortunate to attend two Scrum training sessions (PSM and PSPO) with Simon Bourk. The flow of information, presentation techniques, experiments and wicked questions were well structured to facilitate the learning process through interactive mode and hands-on exercises. Highly recommended trainer for all levels.

It is an excellent course
It is an excellent course! Very dynamic and filled with concrete activities which allows students to fully understand the concepts and apply them. I would definitely recommend Simon as a teacher. Extremely knowledgeable and a well-rounded instructor. Dynamic, humoristic and creates great visual!
