Highly recommended
Particularly well-constructed and animated. 2 days of training without length or boredom. The course content corresponded exactly to what was needed to prepare for certification. Lots of advices, anecdotes and examples that made the course meaningful.

The course was perfectly tailored to learning a Product Owners role within a scrum team over 2 days.

Exceptional Organization and Expert Guidance: A Review of a Highly Interactive and Productive Course
Well organized agenda with a well prepared coach.
The course was interactive and productive - we had 5-10 minutes tasks what we had to solve in small groups, also we get some deeper explanations for different cases between&after the tasks. We had the chance to ask but he handled that cleverly so we could kept the time ranges perfectly!
The coach was experienced enough to answer all the questions from different people from different companies&organizations with different use cases.
I honestly feel that this course gave me some deeper knowledge about Scrum even it was just 2 days.
Also at the end of the course he provided us some tools what he developed to prepare ourselves to the exam more easily.
In conclusion I really recommend Simon and his courses if you want to learn deeply about Scrum.

Excellent training
I had attended the PSPO training with Simon in 2023 and when it was time to do the PSM training, I came back again for his class specifically. He is a training master!

Energetic, Informative and Practical Scrum Training
A brilliant couple of days of learning with Simon on the Professional Scrum Master course - energetic, information rich and hugely practical. Great to have bursts of teaching, breakout room discussions on case studies and to hear others' learning and experience from their work environments. Super to have regular short breaks away from the screen too! I've come away with a lot to process as I think about how we can apply Scrum practically and be effective Scrum Masters within our organisation. Huge thanks!
Jan 19, 2024
Brilliant PSM Course!
Very well organised and professionally presented by Simon Kneafsey. Very knowledgeable, precise and took the time to go over small details and answer any questions. I didn't feel rushed and great to have regular breaks; I have not experienced a healthy amount of breaks like this before. I have learned a lot and feel more informed about Scrum and the Scrum Master role; I am very excited to implement this into our team! Thank you very much!

Great PSPO 1 course from Simon
Simon did a great job and the experience and moderation on his 2 day PSPO 1 course was amazing. I really enjoyed his openness, enthusiasm, knowledge about agile and SCRUM and how he connected the theory with the real world examples. Now I understand more about the PO role in Scrum and agile overall. Also, I appreciate all the support he gave us when it comes to the certification test. I am really looking forward to the next courses with thescrummaster.co.uk.

Great Scrum Product Owner Course
I attended the Scrum Product Owner training course in an in-person class, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and from which I learned a lot. Simon was a fantastic instructor, and it was clear he was both highly knowledgeable about scrum and has extensive practical experience in its application. I was particularly impressed with his ability to field questions from delegates with wide range of backgrounds and experience, and the way in which he was able to tailor his answers to be highly relevant to their circumstances. I also think I gained a great deal of insight from attending the course in person, and hearing about the experiences of other professionals in a highly engaged environment.
Dec 9, 2023
It was an amazing experience
It was an amazing experience. Although, I have been working in Scrum for the past two years, this Scrum.cpurse shed lights on may process that we were blindly following. I throughly enjoyed the two days programe and I now feel confident in communicating the concept of scum and resposponsibilty of a product owner. The training is designed to involve all the participants and use real time example which even made it more easy for us.

My first time attending a Scrum.Org training and Simon did not disappoint. Coming from a non-technical Product Manager role dual hatting as a Product owner this course was very informative and really helped me understand the role of the Product Owner in more detail and how this fits with the Scrum framework. Definitely would recommend this PSPO1 course to anyone looking to get into Product ownership or those who are in the early stages of this role. Thank you Simon this was a fabulous 2 days.

Simon; The Master of all Scrum Masters!
Simon made the course engaging; the pace, tone, content and his delivery style created a really good dynamic.
With a wealth of passion, knowledge and experience, Simon brought the concepts to life. Using real world examples, he was able to deepen people's understanding and could teach us to learn from his mistakes!
The two days were well structured with lots of breaks. I took so much away from this course and wouldn't hesitate taking another class with Simon. I would highly recommend anyone looking to learn or expand their Scrum knowledge to take one of Simon's classes - you won't regret it.

Simon is extremely knowledgeable and has tons of experience with Scrum that he openly shares.

Scrum Master - PSM II Training
Having attended the 2 day virtual PSMII course from Scrum.org in October with Simon. I must say that Simon was brilliant in his teaching techniques and facilitation style. The materials provided and various topics discussed proved extremely useful in keeping all candidates engaged throughout the interactive sessions.
I would highly recommend attending the course led by Simon.
Oct 23, 2023
PSMII Course
I attended the 2 day virtual PSMII course from Scrum.org on 16th-17th October with Simon. I was a bit apprehensive as I would have preferred the face to face session for my learning style but Simon was brilliant. His knowledge and ability to deliver an engaging and interactive course for 2 days virtually were second to none. The content and pace were great and each of the topics were weaved nicely into sessions with the other candidates. I would highly recommend attending the course with Simon as this assisted me in passing.

I left the training inspired and ready to apply what I've learned.

New to product ownership, great course
I am new to being a product owner and had been sent on the PSPO course as an introduction to the role. I was anxious about being so new to the role and being surrounded by people with much more experience and knowledge, worried I'd feel out of my depth. How wrong I was, Simon was fantastic, he broke down each topic in a way that made it easy to keep up and learn. I feel I have been able to take away a lot that can be used to make impactful changes to process in my team.

Highly recommended course
It was a very helpful , interactive and interesting two day training program. Though it was a distant learning program, never during these hours, I was bored or any part of training felt redundant.
It was more like an interactive session and I am really impresses the way Simon conducted it.
Not only did I learnt (from Simon) valuable things about Product owner role but also how can a video session be so interesting .
Aug 22, 2023
Super insightful class
Super insightful class.
This is perhaps one of the best online classes I have done. The structure was rely good and never felt too tiered between each break.
The amount that was taught was very well put together in a 2 day time period.
I am a scrum master, but this course has definitely helped me gain confidence in what I am doing and there is so much knowledge here I would recommend this to anyone else.
Simon himself was really god at explaining Scrum & how it works in Product. As well as giving enough information to us about our questions. The break out rooms were great and the activities really helped think about how best to apply scrum in different scenarios.
I have already advised some of my PO's to take his Scrum PO class as I think the way Simon does his classes is 10/10
Aug 22, 2023
Great experience on the PSM level 1 course
I recently attended the Professional Scrum Master level 1 course with Simon Kneafsey and was very impressed with the level of interaction due to the course being ran virtually. It combined theory with practical examples which could be applied to your role as a Scrum Master. Simon demonstrated a vast array of knowledge and experience and was more than happy to answer any questions throughout the 2-day course. I recommend this course to anyone wanting to gain an insight into the Scrum framework.
Aug 21, 2023
I participated in the PSM1 course
I participated in the PSM1 course. It was well led and incredibly interesting, thus making it easy to learn. The class is well designed and have a limited number of attendees, encourages discussions and gives a great opportunity to learn from other professionals attending the course.
It really improved my understanding of the Scrum framework and prepared me to take on a new role in my team. I am looking to forward to learn even more!

Scum Master PSM Course review
I've just completed the Scum Master (PSM1) course led by Simon. This was extremely valuable and a great way to enhance my journey into using Scrum . Simon has a wealth of practical experience which he shares to demonstrate the many benefits and some of the pitfalls when introducing Agile and Scrum across a business. Whilst not a typical industry for Scrum adoption (capital equipment product development) Simon shows how Scrum can be applied to this and many other businesses. It was 2 days well spent and I'd highly recommend Simon and this course.

The course content was really informative and easy to follow. Simon the trainer explained things very well and his knowledge really shone through.

Participating in Simon Kneafsey's Scrum…
Participating in Simon Kneafsey's Scrum training course was an enlightening journey. The content was masterfully presented, covering an extensive array of Scrum principles and practices. The instructors exhibited profound expertise and contagious enthusiasm, rendering intricate concepts easily graspable. The incorporation of interactive exercises and real-world instances breathed practicality into the learning process.
Nevertheless, I would like to propose an enhancement. Increasing the inclusion of comprehensive case studies and inviting participants to share their current or past challenges prior to the course's commencement would amplify the personalized dimension of the training. Discussing these challenges during the training sessions would contribute to a more tailored and impactful experience.
This course is an exemplary selection for individuals desiring to immerse themselves in the realm of Scrum and agile methodologies.

Professional Scrum Product Owner Course 1
I attended the PSPO1 course over two days with Simon and loved it. It was really well structured, fast paced but with plenty of rest breaks to keep you going.

I have come away from the course having learnt lots and with some reassurance that I am working my way to be being an efficient Product Owner. Highly recommend.

Great course! Clear, interactive and useful
Simon explained everything clearly and concisely and talked us through all the key areas we needed to know in order to get a good understanding of Scrum and what is needed to pass the assessment. He was more than happy to answer any questions and was very helpful. I also found the breakout groups and discussion useful for keeping it interactive and fun. Simon pointed us in the direction of practice assessments and resources that have been very helpful in preparing for the exam so far, as has access to our Mural board we worked on during the course.

Informative and thought provoking course
I had an excellent time attending the PSPO course.

Online PSM1 with Simon Kneafsey
Just completed my 2-day PSM1 course and I am so glad I made the choice to go with Simon for this. As a Scrum Master myself I was expecting to re-learn the fundamentals, which is always useful, but I wasn't expecting to learn as much as I did on new aspects around the framework and the role! It was great to work through case-studies, and have to think about how to apply the theory in practical examples.
Simon's delivery of the course was perfect - so well thought out in terms of format and timing. All the language and visuals used were crystal clear. I will definitely be doing the PSMII and will re-book with him.
Jul 17, 2023
Excellent all round
The instructor, content and learning process were excellent. I would highly recommend this course.

Particularly well-constructed and animated. 2 days of training without length or boredom. The course content corresponded exactly to what was needed to prepare for certification. Lots of advices, anecdotes and examples that made the course meaningful.

Exceptional Organization and Expert Guidance: A Review of a Highly Interactive and Productive Course
Well organized agenda with a well prepared coach.
The course was interactive and productive - we had 5-10 minutes tasks what we had to solve in small groups, also we get some deeper explanations for different cases between&after the tasks. We had the chance to ask but he handled that cleverly so we could kept the time ranges perfectly!
The coach was experienced enough to answer all the questions from different people from different companies&organizations with different use cases.
I honestly feel that this course gave me some deeper knowledge about Scrum even it was just 2 days.
Also at the end of the course he provided us some tools what he developed to prepare ourselves to the exam more easily.
In conclusion I really recommend Simon and his courses if you want to learn deeply about Scrum.
Jan 19, 2024
Excellent training
I had attended the PSPO training with Simon in 2023 and when it was time to do the PSM training, I came back again for his class specifically. He is a training master!

Energetic, Informative and Practical Scrum Training
A brilliant couple of days of learning with Simon on the Professional Scrum Master course - energetic, information rich and hugely practical. Great to have bursts of teaching, breakout room discussions on case studies and to hear others' learning and experience from their work environments. Super to have regular short breaks away from the screen too! I've come away with a lot to process as I think about how we can apply Scrum practically and be effective Scrum Masters within our organisation. Huge thanks!
Jan 19, 2024
Brilliant PSM Course!
Very well organised and professionally presented by Simon Kneafsey. Very knowledgeable, precise and took the time to go over small details and answer any questions. I didn't feel rushed and great to have regular breaks; I have not experienced a healthy amount of breaks like this before. I have learned a lot and feel more informed about Scrum and the Scrum Master role; I am very excited to implement this into our team! Thank you very much!

Great PSPO 1 course from Simon
Simon did a great job and the experience and moderation on his 2 day PSPO 1 course was amazing. I really enjoyed his openness, enthusiasm, knowledge about agile and SCRUM and how he connected the theory with the real world examples. Now I understand more about the PO role in Scrum and agile overall. Also, I appreciate all the support he gave us when it comes to the certification test. I am really looking forward to the next courses with thescrummaster.co.uk.

Great Scrum Product Owner Course
I attended the Scrum Product Owner training course in an in-person class, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and from which I learned a lot. Simon was a fantastic instructor, and it was clear he was both highly knowledgeable about scrum and has extensive practical experience in its application. I was particularly impressed with his ability to field questions from delegates with wide range of backgrounds and experience, and the way in which he was able to tailor his answers to be highly relevant to their circumstances. I also think I gained a great deal of insight from attending the course in person, and hearing about the experiences of other professionals in a highly engaged environment.

It was an amazing experience
It was an amazing experience. Although, I have been working in Scrum for the past two years, this Scrum.cpurse shed lights on may process that we were blindly following. I throughly enjoyed the two days programe and I now feel confident in communicating the concept of scum and resposponsibilty of a product owner. The training is designed to involve all the participants and use real time example which even made it more easy for us.

My first time attending a Scrum.Org training and Simon did not disappoint. Coming from a non-technical Product Manager role dual hatting as a Product owner this course was very informative and really helped me understand the role of the Product Owner in more detail and how this fits with the Scrum framework. Definitely would recommend this PSPO1 course to anyone looking to get into Product ownership or those who are in the early stages of this role. Thank you Simon this was a fabulous 2 days.

With a wealth of passion, knowledge and experience, Simon brought the concepts to life. Using real world examples, he was able to deepen people's understanding and could teach us to learn from his mistakes!
The two days were well structured with lots of breaks. I took so much away from this course and wouldn't hesitate taking another class with Simon. I would highly recommend anyone looking to learn or expand their Scrum knowledge to take one of Simon's classes - you won't regret it.

Scrum Master - PSM II Training
Having attended the 2 day virtual PSMII course from Scrum.org in October with Simon. I must say that Simon was brilliant in his teaching techniques and facilitation style.

I would highly recommend attending the course led by Simon.

PSMII Course
I attended the 2 day virtual PSMII course from Scrum.org on 16th-17th October with Simon.

The content and pace were great and each of the topics were weaved nicely into sessions with the other candidates. I would highly recommend attending the course with Simon as this assisted me in passing.

I left the training inspired and ready to apply what I've learned.

New to product ownership, great course
I am new to being a product owner and had been sent on the PSPO course as an introduction to the role. I was anxious about being so new to the role and being surrounded by people with much more experience and knowledge, worried I'd feel out of my depth. How wrong I was, Simon was fantastic, he broke down each topic in a way that made it easy to keep up and learn. I feel I have been able to take away a lot that can be used to make impactful changes to process in my team.

It was a very helpful , interactive and interesting two day training program. Though it was a distant learning program, never during these hours, I was bored or any part of training felt redundant.
It was more like an interactive session and I am really impresses the way Simon conducted it.
Not only did I learnt (from Simon) valuable things about Product owner role but also how can a video session be so interesting .
Aug 22, 2023
Super insightful class
Super insightful class.
This is perhaps one of the best online classes I have done. The structure was rely good and never felt too tiered between each break.
The amount that was taught was very well put together in a 2 day time period.
I am a scrum master, but this course has definitely helped me gain confidence in what I am doing and there is so much knowledge here I would recommend this to anyone else.
Simon himself was really god at explaining Scrum & how it works in Product. As well as giving enough information to us about our questions. The break out rooms were great and the activities really helped think about how best to apply scrum in different scenarios.
I have already advised some of my PO's to take his Scrum PO class as I think the way Simon does his classes is 10/10

Great experience on the PSM level 1 course

Scum Master PSM Course review
I've just completed the Scum Master (PSM1) course led by Simon. This was extremely valuable and a great way to enhance my journey into using Scrum . Simon has a wealth of practical experience which he shares to demonstrate the many benefits and some of the pitfalls when introducing Agile and Scrum across a business. Whilst not a typical industry for Scrum adoption (capital equipment product development) Simon shows how Scrum can be applied to this and many other businesses. It was 2 days well spent and I'd highly recommend Simon and this course.

Participating in Simon Kneafsey's Scrum…
Participating in Simon Kneafsey's Scrum training course was an enlightening journey. The content was masterfully presented, covering an extensive array of Scrum principles and practices. The instructors exhibited profound expertise and contagious enthusiasm, rendering intricate concepts easily graspable. The incorporation of interactive exercises and real-world instances breathed practicality into the learning process.
Nevertheless, I would like to propose an enhancement. Increasing the inclusion of comprehensive case studies and inviting participants to share their current or past challenges prior to the course's commencement would amplify the personalized dimension of the training. Discussing these challenges during the training sessions would contribute to a more tailored and impactful experience.
This course is an exemplary selection for individuals desiring to immerse themselves in the realm of Scrum and agile methodologies.

Simon explained everything clearly and concisely and talked us through all the key areas we needed to know in order to get a good understanding of Scrum and what is needed to pass the assessment. He was more than happy to answer any questions and was very helpful. I also found the breakout groups and discussion useful for keeping it interactive and fun. Simon pointed us in the direction of practice assessments and resources that have been very helpful in preparing for the exam so far, as has access to our Mural board we worked on during the course.

Online PSM1 with Simon Kneafsey
Just completed my 2-day PSM1 course and I am so glad I made the choice to go with Simon for this. As a Scrum Master myself I was expecting to re-learn the fundamentals, which is always useful, but I wasn't expecting to learn as much as I did on new aspects around the framework and the role! It was great to work through case-studies, and have to think about how to apply the theory in practical examples.
Simon's delivery of the course was perfect - so well thought out in terms of format and timing. All the language and visuals used were crystal clear. I will definitely be doing the PSMII and will re-book with him.
Jul 17, 2023
Excellent all round
The instructor, content and learning process were excellent. I would highly recommend this course.
