5* agility/scrum
I was looking for the Product Owner course on my own, while my company selected scrum.org's offer for us. I chose Professional Scrum Product Owner certification because of the emphasis on real life scenarios to underscore the theoretical material, as well as my business long term records.
Our instructor, Simon Kneafsey, was the embodiment of this. Excellent training material and presentational style. Course was online, but still very engaging. An agile coach who has walked the walk, his experience shone through.

I found the course to be well rounded on the topics that i needed help with, Simon was really great at explaining and providing relatable examples to help secure understanding. The breaks every hour were certainly well received to allow downtime for the brain!
Looking forward to signing up for my next course in the near future.

PSPO I - Highly recommend
I took the PSPO I with Simon. He is an amazing trainer with an incredible knowledge of SCRUM.

Thanks Simon
May 10, 2023
very well structured and prepared teacher
Simon is an expert and this 2-days course is structured very well in my opinion: well balanced between learning the theory of the Scrum framework, and concrete examples about how to apply it in different scenarios. I benefited also from the discussion exercises when divided in small teams. I am more than happy to recommend this course .

Simon was an excellent teacher
Simon was an excellent teacher. I was brand new to SCRUM and he went at a pace I could really engage with so areas weren't 'skimmed over', nor did it drag. The scenarios explained were very helpful along with all the notes and follow up materials. Passed first time around :)

Top Teacher
I really enjoyed Simon's class - he was thoughtful, professional and I felt like I left the 2 days more enthusiastic then when I went in! I felt really prepared for the exam as well, which is a massive testament to him and how much he managed to teach us in a short space of time. I would highly recommend Simon to anyone who wants to learn more about Scrum.

Good course, supportive trainer
Being new to scrum the course was a lot to take in but i felt really supported by my trainer Simon. His style was friendly and informal and put you at ease straight away. He managed the course well, alternating between activities and discussion and the regular breaks helped me to maintain my focus.
Apr 21, 2023
Great Course
Great course! Simon is a very enthusiastic trainer and the course was interactive and well-paced, even for someone with little knowledge of Scrum. The structure of the course encourages a proper understanding of the content more than just learning of theory. There are some useful resources that are provided with the course and I feel well prepared for the formal assessment.

TheScrumMaster.co.uk - PSM1 course
A very well-crafted class, delivered with energy and enthusiasm.
It brings Scrum to life and clearly explains what Scrum IS and what it ISN’T.
As someone with a few months Scrum experience I learned a lot of new information about the Scrum framework and how my role as a scrum master fits into that framework. As a result of this course I feel a lot more confident in my role and look forward to applying this knowledge to my day to day activities.
Apr 17, 2023

Apr 17, 2023
Great interactive class with high involvement
Simon leads the PSM1 class with great interactivity, combining break out sessions with personal experience examples. He provides good insights on Scrum as a method, although I would like to get more practical examples of acting in Scrum master role as team facilitator to ensure the accountability and mindset.
Apr 15, 2023
A great course
Simon is a great teacher. He is clear, gives great examples which makes everything click into place, and the classes are set out perfectly, with plenty of exercises to get you thinking on what you have just learnt, and a great group feeling as everyone is there to learn the same thing. No question is unanswered, regardless if you think it silly or not, and he will explain it to you with an experience of his own, so you can relate it to what you need to know.
Great course, great Teacher
Apr 14, 2023

Great course lead by Simon in detail to give an insight of Scrum world
Simon went through all the scrum methodologies in great detail with real life industry examples which helped me visualize how i can apply these methodologies in my role. The role of scrum Master becomes clearer as the course takes its course on day 2. We worked through scenarios at each stage which helped to embed the role of scrum master. I would highly recommend Simon if there is anyone out there wanting to do a Scrum course
Apr 14, 2023

Highly Recommend
Simon delivered the course really well. The structure over the two days really helped me get the most out of the course. I was concerned about how a virtual course would work but Simon broke this down into hour long sessions with lots of interaction/breakout rooms followed by a break before the next session started. This really help keep everyone energised and engaged.

PSM - Top Insightful training!
Simon is a very knowledgeable trainer, he masters Scrum Master theory and creates an open discussions.

Really well organised course and a very knowledgeable tutor. Good use of breakout sessions to aid the learning meaning we could draw from our own experience and that of others on the course rather than just listening to a single voice all day.

I enjoyed the training and would recommend Simon to anyone interested in learning more about being a Product owner as well as scrum in general. The face to face training was great and the food supplied was great.
The only downside for me was developing a stiff neck due to the angle of the chairs to the screen and no tables

Simon is a fantastic trainer and absolutely lives up to his reviews.

Completed the 2 Day Professional Scrum Master Training with Simon and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Simon made the content fun and engaging with frequent comfort breaks making it easy to absorb the knowledge. Interesting team activities also gave us the opportunity to apply what we’d learnt and discuss as a wider group.
I couldn’t recommend Simon highly enough and would encourage anyone who wants to prepare for the PSM1 exam or further their understanding of the Scrum framework to book one of his courses.

Well-structured course, refined through practice
Well-structured course, refined through practice, great consideration given to 'the how' of learning and not just to the 'what'. Simon managed to cover a lot of ground for a diverse group of people with differing levels of knowledge and experience (not an easy task), while making it relevant for all and making sure the essentials are covered. Skilled trainer & facilitator with a wealth of knowledge to share and a passion for it, which shows.

Interesting training with a talented trainer
I had a very pleasant experience with Simon on the PSPO I course.
During the 2 days we went through a great amount of learning material related to scrum and product owner role.
His way of presentation was very enjoyable, greatly informative and motivating to actively participate. He explained everything in a simple and easy-to-follow way. It was all made easy to keep focus for the entire time of the course. He also moderated the discussions, teams and time very well.
I warmly recommend to take the course with him.

Enjoyed intensive PSPO-1 course with excellent teacher
From the very first to the last minute I've enjoyed this inspiring Professional Scrum Product Owner live virtual course with Simon Kneafsey and especially the following points:
◎ Simon focussed on thoroughly understanding the Scrum principles
◎ Frequent break-out rooms to learn collaboratively in small groups in real-live exercises and bring theory into practice
◎ Collecting results on a digital whiteboard (mural) for discussion and review with the whole team
◎ Course documentation: final digital whiteboard, PSPO reference guide and much more to explore and learn further
◎ Excellent time management: 60 min timeboxed sessions, 15' Pause/60' lunch break
The possibility to interact with 16 participants from all over the world with very different backgrounds and experiences was a huge enrichment to my learning experience.
I can absolutely recommend this kind of training at TheScrumMaster with Simon especially.
Very well done!

Great trainer, very well structured content!
Dear fellow Scrum practitioner, this course is for you! I had the pleasure and was lucky enough to take part in Simon's Kneafsey class and I must admit it made a difference. I previously documented myself over Scrum Values, Principles, Artefacts, and all Scrum-related information but what Simon did is to put all information into context. He provides great examples that will definitely help you connect the dots. Highly recommend it!

Excellent PSM1
I recently completed PSM1 with Simon and it was excellent. I have delivered many training courses and I loved Simon’s style and interaction. It was easy to do the two days online with the amount of break outs, discussion points and breaks.
Learning was quickly followed by discussions and tasks that made sure we all really absorbed it. It was also interesting to be mixed with people from other companies to get different perspectives.
I highly recommend to use Simon / The Scrum Master for any training need.

Real-world scenario based training
Great grasp of scrum methodology and fundamentals. The course was structured around practical examples and these real-world scenarios invoked insightful group discussions.

Highly recommended!
Dec 16, 2022
Great course with lots of links to the real world
It was a really good course with great interaction and ability to ask questions on both theory and real situations. At first I found it had a slightly slow start and I think slightly more content could have been squeezed in if the start had been on the same level as the rest of the two days, but this is a minor comment. As a whole I really enjoyed the course, learnt a lot and got lots of inspiration.
Dec 15, 2022

It was an excellent 2 days spent in a virtual classroom with like-minded people, all wanting the same knowledge.

The content, tools used and delivery was great, great group and the sessions and breaks were spaced out perfectly.
Superb course and huge thanks to Simon.

SPS - NEXUS
This was a really enjoyable 2 day course and learning experience. The format is really well thought out and structured for a virtual environment with plenty of structured breaks during the day.
Simon did a great job in facilitating the group and bringing out everyone's ideas and thoughts together.
Simon kept everyone engaged in the content for 2 days, with cameras on, breakout group activities and group discussions.
I would recommend this course for anyone looking to scale Scrum using the NEXUS framework.

Most enjoyable Scrum Course
This has been one of the most enjoyable Scrum Courses I've been on, and I've attended a few.
Simon made it very interactive and engaging with lots of opportunity to talk through ideas in exercises with other attendees in breakout rooms.
Even though it was 2 full days of being on a Zoom call - i still felt energised and excited to take ideas back to my team at work.

Simon Kneafsey is an excellent trainer who explains the theory very clearly and also coaches you to understand how to apply scaled agile in your workplace. The course was well paced and the group exercises were my favourite parts because they really brought the content to life. It helps to discuss the topics with others from different companies in the industry. There was also a really good amount of breaks, which made it a lot easier to stay focused. I would highly recommend this course and Simon as your trainer!
Nov 4, 2022
Valuable course with great format and interactive style
The Scaled Professsional Scrum course is definitely worthwhile. Simon Kneafsey is a really effective facilitator and trainer. I found him personable, experienced, and with an in-depth level of understanding on the key topics. He drove valuable discussions, providing different perspectives, and was able to draw all attendees into the exercises and conversations. The 2 days flew past and I will recommend this course to others who are looking to find out more about scaling scrum in their organisation.

Simon is a great trainer with a lot of knowledge and a very pleasant way of teaching.
The PSPO-A course is not for beginners and the things he talks about, the group work etc. are for experienced Product Owners. The course has a very fast pace and if you are not up to speed with Scrum and PO Tasks you might not be successful - so it is highly recommended to attend PSPO I first.
Nov 2, 2022
A great tutor and great course
Thoroughly enjoyed the PSPO-advanced training run by Simon Kneafsey in the last 2 days.
A good refresher on PSPO I, plus lots of new information and tools on values, experimentation, scaling, etc. Can’t wait to put some of these to good use!
Best of all, an opportunity to socialise with other POs / product people and hear about how others work.
Nov 2, 2022

A highly interactive course based on Scrum knowledge but driven by real life experience discussions.
Presenter was very knowledgeable. As Simon still works in the industry, he is able to articulate with real world scenarios, significantly enhancing the experience.

Great PSPO-A training
Thanks to Simon Kneafsey & TheScrumMaster.co.uk for two intense PSPO-A training days. The course was as always very well organized and you get a lot from Simon's real life examples. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get deeper knowledge about this SCRUM accountability!

5* agility/scrum
I was looking for the Product Owner course on my own, while my company selected scrum.org's offer for us. I chose Professional Scrum Product Owner certification because of the emphasis on real life scenarios to underscore the theoretical material, as well as my business long term records.
Our instructor, Simon Kneafsey, was the embodiment of this. Excellent training material and presentational style. Course was online, but still very engaging. An agile coach who has walked the walk, his experience shone through.

I found the course to be well rounded on the topics that i needed help with, Simon was really great at explaining and providing relatable examples to help secure understanding. The breaks every hour were certainly well received to allow downtime for the brain!
Looking forward to signing up for my next course in the near future.

PSPO I - Highly recommend
I took the PSPO I with Simon. He is an amazing trainer with an incredible knowledge of SCRUM.
The training was very dynamic and interactive. I highly recommend.
Thanks Simon
May 10, 2023
very well structured and prepared teacher
Simon is an expert and this 2-days course is structured very well in my opinion: well balanced between learning the theory of the Scrum framework, and concrete examples about how to apply it in different scenarios. I benefited also from the discussion exercises when divided in small teams. I am more than happy to recommend this course .

Simon was an excellent teacher
Simon was an excellent teacher. I was brand new to SCRUM and he went at a pace I could really engage with so areas weren't 'skimmed over', nor did it drag. The scenarios explained were very helpful along with all the notes and follow up materials. Passed first time around :)

Excellent course

Simon was excellent tutor

Top Teacher
I really enjoyed Simon's class - he was thoughtful, professional and I felt like I left the 2 days more enthusiastic then when I went in! I felt really prepared for the exam as well, which is a massive testament to him and how much he managed to teach us in a short space of time. I would highly recommend Simon to anyone who wants to learn more about Scrum.

Good course, supportive trainer
Being new to scrum the course was a lot to take in but i felt really supported by my trainer Simon. His style was friendly and informal and put you at ease straight away. He managed the course well, alternating between activities and discussion and the regular breaks helped me to maintain my focus.
Apr 21, 2023
Great Course
Great course! Simon is a very enthusiastic trainer and the course was interactive and well-paced, even for someone with little knowledge of Scrum. The structure of the course encourages a proper understanding of the content more than just learning of theory. There are some useful resources that are provided with the course and I feel well prepared for the formal assessment.

TheScrumMaster.co.uk - PSM1 course
A very well-crafted class, delivered with energy and enthusiasm.
It brings Scrum to life and clearly explains what Scrum IS and what it ISN’T.
As someone with a few months Scrum experience I learned a lot of new information about the Scrum framework and how my role as a scrum master fits into that framework. As a result of this course I feel a lot more confident in my role and look forward to applying this knowledge to my day to day activities.
Apr 17, 2023
Wonderful SCRUM Course

Apr 17, 2023
Great interactive class with high involvement
Simon leads the PSM1 class with great interactivity, combining break out sessions with personal experience examples. He provides good insights on Scrum as a method, although I would like to get more practical examples of acting in Scrum master role as team facilitator to ensure the accountability and mindset.
Apr 15, 2023
A great course
Simon is a great teacher. He is clear, gives great examples which makes everything click into place, and the classes are set out perfectly, with plenty of exercises to get you thinking on what you have just learnt, and a great group feeling as everyone is there to learn the same thing. No question is unanswered, regardless if you think it silly or not, and he will explain it to you with an experience of his own, so you can relate it to what you need to know.
Great course, great Teacher
Apr 14, 2023
Great trainer
I was recommended to select Simon Kneafsey for my PSM 1 training and I am really glad that I did.
Simon's incredible knowledge of scrum means he is a great source of knowledge and his approach to training makes learning easy and interactive.

Highly recommend.

Great course lead by Simon in detail to give an insight of Scrum world
Simon went through all the scrum methodologies in great detail with real life industry examples which helped me visualize how i can apply these methodologies in my role. The role of scrum Master becomes clearer as the course takes its course on day 2. We worked through scenarios at each stage which helped to embed the role of scrum master. I would highly recommend Simon if there is anyone out there wanting to do a Scrum course
Apr 14, 2023
Passionate teacher makes the difference!

Highly Recommend
Simon delivered the course really well. The structure over the two days really helped me get the most out of the course. I was concerned about how a virtual course would work but Simon broke this down into hour long sessions with lots of interaction/breakout rooms followed by a break before the next session started. This really help keep everyone energised and engaged.

PSM - Top Insightful training!
Simon is a very knowledgeable trainer, he masters Scrum Master theory and creates an open discussions. He has the ability to breakdown complexity and showing with clear examples what the SM framework is about. Not only that, the training is structured to be very interactive by organizing attendees in groups and doing practice/activities which are very insightful to complement framework understanding. Through a friendly environment you will learn new stuffs. It does not matter what your job is, either you perform as a Scrum Master or simply have growth mindset and tons of motivation, join it!.

Really well organised course and a very knowledgeable tutor. Good use of breakout sessions to aid the learning meaning we could draw from our own experience and that of others on the course rather than just listening to a single voice all day.

I enjoyed the training and would definitely recommend to others
I enjoyed the training and would recommend Simon to anyone interested in learning more about being a Product owner as well as scrum in general. The face to face training was great and the food supplied was great.
The only downside for me was developing a stiff neck due to the angle of the chairs to the screen and no tables

Simon is a fantastic trainer and absolutely lives up to his reviews. He immediately created a relaxed, comfortable environment in which to learn and he broke down the content, making it very accessible.

Professional Scrum Master Course
Completed the 2 Day Professional Scrum Master Training with Simon and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Simon made the content fun and engaging with frequent comfort breaks making it easy to absorb the knowledge. Interesting team activities also gave us the opportunity to apply what we’d learnt and discuss as a wider group.
I couldn’t recommend Simon highly enough and would encourage anyone who wants to prepare for the PSM1 exam or further their understanding of the Scrum framework to book one of his courses.

Well-structured course, refined through practice
Well-structured course, refined through practice, great consideration given to 'the how' of learning and not just to the 'what'. Simon managed to cover a lot of ground for a diverse group of people with differing levels of knowledge and experience (not an easy task), while making it relevant for all and making sure the essentials are covered. Skilled trainer & facilitator with a wealth of knowledge to share and a passion for it, which shows.

Interesting training with a talented trainer
I had a very pleasant experience with Simon on the PSPO I course.
During the 2 days we went through a great amount of learning material related to scrum and product owner role.
His way of presentation was very enjoyable, greatly informative and motivating to actively participate. He explained everything in a simple and easy-to-follow way. It was all made easy to keep focus for the entire time of the course. He also moderated the discussions, teams and time very well.
I warmly recommend to take the course with him.

Thanks a lot!

Enjoyed intensive PSPO-1 course with excellent teacher
From the very first to the last minute I've enjoyed this inspiring Professional Scrum Product Owner live virtual course with Simon Kneafsey and especially the following points:
◎ Simon focussed on thoroughly understanding the Scrum principles
◎ Frequent break-out rooms to learn collaboratively in small groups in real-live exercises and bring theory into practice
◎ Collecting results on a digital whiteboard (mural) for discussion and review with the whole team
◎ Course documentation: final digital whiteboard, PSPO reference guide and much more to explore and learn further
◎ Excellent time management: 60 min timeboxed sessions, 15' Pause/60' lunch break
The possibility to interact with 16 participants from all over the world with very different backgrounds and experiences was a huge enrichment to my learning experience.
I can absolutely recommend this kind of training at TheScrumMaster with Simon especially.
Very well done!

Great trainer, very well structured content!
Dear fellow Scrum practitioner, this course is for you! I had the pleasure and was lucky enough to take part in Simon's Kneafsey class and I must admit it made a difference. I previously documented myself over Scrum Values, Principles, Artefacts, and all Scrum-related information but what Simon did is to put all information into context. He provides great examples that will definitely help you connect the dots. Highly recommend it!

Excellent PSM1
I recently completed PSM1 with Simon and it was excellent. I have delivered many training courses and I loved Simon’s style and interaction. It was easy to do the two days online with the amount of break outs, discussion points and breaks.
Learning was quickly followed by discussions and tasks that made sure we all really absorbed it. It was also interesting to be mixed with people from other companies to get different perspectives.
I highly recommend to use Simon / The Scrum Master for any training need.

Real-world scenario based training
Great grasp of scrum methodology and fundamentals. The course was structured around practical examples and these real-world scenarios invoked insightful group discussions.
Any material not specifically covered in depth during the condensed 2-day course was captured in the material shared immediately at the end of the course.
Dec 21, 2022

Highly recommended!
Dec 16, 2022
Great course with lots of links to the real world
It was a really good course with great interaction and ability to ask questions on both theory and real situations. At first I found it had a slightly slow start and I think slightly more content could have been squeezed in if the start had been on the same level as the rest of the two days, but this is a minor comment. As a whole I really enjoyed the course, learnt a lot and got lots of inspiration.
Dec 15, 2022

Scaled Professional Scrum with Nexus (SPS) - 5*
It was an excellent 2 days spent in a virtual classroom with like-minded people, all wanting the same knowledge. Simon set the scene perfectly at the beginning of day 1 which made the transition into the course learning effortless and very interesting. The content, tools used and delivery was great, great group and the sessions and breaks were spaced out perfectly.
Superb course and huge thanks to Simon.

SPS - NEXUS
This was a really enjoyable 2 day course and learning experience. The format is really well thought out and structured for a virtual environment with plenty of structured breaks during the day.
Simon did a great job in facilitating the group and bringing out everyone's ideas and thoughts together.
Simon kept everyone engaged in the content for 2 days, with cameras on, breakout group activities and group discussions.
I would recommend this course for anyone looking to scale Scrum using the NEXUS framework.

Most enjoyable Scrum Course
This has been one of the most enjoyable Scrum Courses I've been on, and I've attended a few.
Simon made it very interactive and engaging with lots of opportunity to talk through ideas in exercises with other attendees in breakout rooms.
Even though it was 2 full days of being on a Zoom call - i still felt energised and excited to take ideas back to my team at work.

Simon Kneafsey is an excellent trainer who explains the theory very clearly and also coaches you to understand how to apply scaled agile in your workplace. The course was well paced and the group exercises were my favourite parts because they really brought the content to life. It helps to discuss the topics with others from different companies in the industry. There was also a really good amount of breaks, which made it a lot easier to stay focused. I would highly recommend this course and Simon as your trainer!
Nov 4, 2022
Valuable course with great format and interactive style
The Scaled Professsional Scrum course is definitely worthwhile. Simon Kneafsey is a really effective facilitator and trainer. I found him personable, experienced, and with an in-depth level of understanding on the key topics. He drove valuable discussions, providing different perspectives, and was able to draw all attendees into the exercises and conversations. The 2 days flew past and I will recommend this course to others who are looking to find out more about scaling scrum in their organisation.

Great learning
Great learning about not one solution fits all.
Simon was great and super responsive to every question we had. Our cohort had very advanced members already and thus we had tough questions, which he brilliantly answered.

Found Simon really knowledgeable. Was also very lucky that we had a fairly mature class level in terms of their experience of scrum. This made the activities and discussions very valuable to help apply to real world examples.

Simon is a great trainer with a lot of knowledge and a very pleasant way of teaching.
The PSPO-A course is not for beginners and the things he talks about, the group work etc. are for experienced Product Owners. The course has a very fast pace and if you are not up to speed with Scrum and PO Tasks you might not be successful - so it is highly recommended to attend PSPO I first.
Nov 2, 2022
A great tutor and great course
Thoroughly enjoyed the PSPO-advanced training run by Simon Kneafsey in the last 2 days.
A good refresher on PSPO I, plus lots of new information and tools on values, experimentation, scaling, etc. Can’t wait to put some of these to good use!
Best of all, an opportunity to socialise with other POs / product people and hear about how others work.
Nov 2, 2022

A highly interactive course based on Scrum knowledge but driven by real life experience discussions.
Presenter was very knowledgeable. As Simon still works in the industry, he is able to articulate with real world scenarios, significantly enhancing the experience.

Great PSPO-A training
Thanks to Simon Kneafsey & TheScrumMaster.co.uk for two intense PSPO-A training days. The course was as always very well organized and you get a lot from Simon's real life examples. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get deeper knowledge about this SCRUM accountability!
