Excellent content delivery
Really good course, material is covered well with exercises and examples to help with understanding of the concepts. Enjoyed the course, while a lot of content is covered the course pace and timing is well managed to ensure students are able to process in the information. Excellent follow up and support options provided as part of the package. Would highly recommend.

Great PSM course
A lively, interactive course run by a very knowledgeable instructor (Geoff Goddard) who was clearly passionate about the subject matter.
I've been on courses previously after which I'd feel drained; that was not the case here! The pace was perfect with plenty of short breaks to ensure everyone was fully alert and engaged throughout. Well worth attending!

Engaging formats as well as practical advice
Geoff was really great at keeping the class engaged throughout training. He's friendly and approachable and the way he grounded all the principles in everyday issues a typical Kanban/Scrum team would have really helped me gain a real, working knowledge of how I could apply the training to my teams.

Fantastic training
Fantastic training course presented by Geoff. Interactive, full of examples and with good learning materials. Great atmosphere, even if we were 20 people attending this course. Detailed explanation of the Scrum Master framework with many examples from real life. What I would recommend is to have a three days PSM training instead of 2 days. Two full days was quite challenging in learning all the concepts and be active all the time. Thanks a lot.

A Perfect Blend of Theory and Practice
Geoff's Professional Scrum Master I course was a great experience.
His clear, practical teaching methods enriched our understanding of Scrum principles.
Interactive group exercises made learning dynamic and engaging.
I look forward to partaking in future courses led by Geoff.

Good class, great instructor
This class was a "refresher", my prior formal Scrum training having been about 20 years ago. A lot has changed, obviously.
This wasn't a "sit and listen" type of course - the instructor aggressively engaged the class, prompted and mediated useful discussions, and generally compelled participation.
I was well-prepared for the certification exam, which I passed about a week later, with a generous margin, about a week later.

GReat PSM2 couse - really recommended!
I recently attended the Professional Scrum Master 2 course, and I'm pleased to share that Geoff and Paul, the trainers, delivered the content in a highly professional manner. They skillfully kept everyone engaged through a variety of exercises. This enhanced the learning experience and made the course more interactive, which I found valuable.

Informational class with fantastic trainer
Geoff was a really engaging trainer. The class was super interactive, but even when we were just listening to Geoff give information, he did a great job at holding my attention. He also regularly checked in with the class to see what we might want to change or focus on and was quick to change course if we wanted to discuss a particular aspect or idea more.

Geoff's laid-back demeanor encouraged participation from the class. I can't tell you how much the conversations added to the book-learning. I've been in plenty of classes where participation is low because students don't feel welcome to add their experiences. Geoff is a master at engaging others.
