Richard W. Sherwood, PMP, SMC and SFC

Program/Project Manager at Cognizant Technology Solutions

The Scrum Master Certified course worked out very well and exceeded my expectations. The course led towards the SMC exam that I was comfortable to take in a very short time. The important points that were presented turned out to be the important points for certification and the reading list from the SBOK helped me out also. The course materials and the overall training were excellent. I will be more than happy to recommend this course to my colleagues and friends. Thanks again!

Donna Bates

Scrum Master / Project Coordinator / Jira Administrator / Consultant at Curi

I am happy to inform you that the Scrum Master Certified course, which I had taken, completely met my expectations. The courseware and the overall training were very good. What I really liked about the course is the way how the course materials was presented. It was in a non-technical format; spoke plainly assuming that the reader/viewer had little experience with the concepts prior to taking the course. Thus, makes it very easy to understand. Thank you for putting this course together. I will be only happy to recommend this course to my colleagues and friends.

Michael Charles

Project Management Consultant at Radient PMSL

The Scrum Agile training was a new insight for me having spent 45 years in traditional project management. As a lecturer and consultant in PM I am very execited to start applying my knowledge as a Scrum Master and embracing Agile project management. The two day Scrum Masters training course was execellent as well as the Fundamentals course, both of which prepared me well for the SMC exam (which was not so easy, by the way!)

Gregory Guinn

Lead IT PM Consultant at Entelligence

I had enrolled for the SMC Live Virtual Class program. Glad to have taken the program as it exceeded my expectations. The instructor was phenomenal. The overall performance of the instructor and his knowledge on the subject was excellent. The overall training and the course materials provided were also excellent. I really grasped the concepts and passed my exam today. I will be more than happy to recommend this training program to my colleagues and friends.

Clara Coronado Galeano

Learning Technology Specialist at Pearson

The SMC online course is the best course that I had taken! The study materials were excellent. I was able to access the content whenever I needed it and it helped me a lot to have a chapter test. The overall training was excellent and it exceeded my expectations. I will be happy to recommend this course to my colleagues and friends.

Paul Quinnett

Project Manager at Poteet Construction LLC

The SMC class was very helpful for me to understand not only the Scrum Master responsibilities but the responsibilities of other Scrum Core Team members also. This class is a good start for anyone entering or wanting to improve their outcome in SDLC using Scrum. The course materials and the overall training were very good. I will be more than happy to recommend this course to my colleagues and friends. I took another Scrum course on another platform; however, it did not supply the proxy testing.

Fred Santiago

Director Telecom- Service Delivery, Tangoe at Tangoe

The course exceeded my expectations on all counts. I truly enjoyed the ability to complete the course in my own schedule and ability to use the app to go over sections even while driving and listening to the narrated courses. Really put my daily work commute to good use in preparing for the test. Also great for fulfilling my PMP PDU requirement. Keep providing these great content courses to us. Thank you!

Michael Sbarra

Manager, Business Solution Consultants and Projects at CDK Global

Videos are very interesting and the chapter questions helped with passing the exam. Passed on 1st attempt. It would be nice if I could download and keep the course materials as they are excellent resource materials. Overall I rate the course as excellent and it exceeded all my expectations. I would highly recommend this course to everyone.

John Peek
