What people are saying

        It was a great 5 weeks. I learnt a lot and it was great working with my teammates. We were green in the beginning, but we grew into the role. We had great support from Valerio who was exceptional, kind and patient with us.

        The program was very in well taught. Mostly the hands-on practices. I was able to learn a lot and ask questions about things i didn't know or thought I knew.

Scrum Master
        I’ve never had a course that has kept me so engaged and I really enjoy it. I am a hands on learner so this is right up my ally. I enjoy the working as a team aspect too, you get to bounce ideas and hear others input on matters. It’s ticking many of the job requirement boxes like Jira and Agile to help me land a SM role.
Ashley

Ashley

Scrum Master
        This course is very interactive and live opposed to other online course that I have taken. We have team assignments that help reinforce the theories that we are learning in class. I like going through the course with other students learning the process. This course is prepping me by giving me practice in Jira, Miro and other software.

        Pricing is on point and the hands-on approach to learning Jira is very helpful. It helps by putting theoretical knowledge to practical use which is applicable to real life Scrum Master job descriptions.

        My experience in this cohort has been great. Although, the timing of the cohort was a little inconvenient for me. I was able to get into the Scrum Master mindset to use what Valerio taught us during our CSM training. I think in the past 5 weeks, I have grown alot in confidence in the practice of Scrum.
