Scrum Alliance TrustPilot Reviews

"Great combination of discussing theory and applying concepts with a team approach during breakout sessions. Highly engaging instructor with real-world experience to provide examples of how and where to use agile/scrum principles. Loved that there were no slides, and all learning came from group discussions and activities." -- John.

"As a student who recently attended the Certified Scrum Product Owner class, I must say that it was a truly wonderful experience. The class was engaging, fun, and very interactive, which kept me fully engaged throughout the entire session… One of the things I particularly enjoyed about the class was the way we had breakout sessions and worked collaboratively with other classmates. This allowed us to exchange ideas and learn from each other's experiences, which added an extra layer of depth to the class… Overall, I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn more about Scrum and become advanced certified Scrum Product Owner. It was a great experience and I feel like I gained a lot of valuable knowledge and skills that I can use in my work going forward " -- TM

Unique format — no more boring lectures

Most online training is boring and prone to distraction. Too many instructors talk for far too long about topics and theories not relevant for real-world application. The other spectrum is self-paced or self-directed learning where you need to be motivated to watch videos and work on the myriad of challenges without the guidance of a live instructor and might struggle to complete

With our A-CSPO program, all our lectures are crisp (no more than fifteen minutes) and are combined with practical, on-the-job exercises so you can immediately put into practice what you have learned under the mentorship of a Certified Scrum Trainer. The challenges are carefully interspersed between the online live sessions so as to get continuous feedback and guidance from the instructors.
