Great communicator.
Great communicator. I have attended to the Scrum Master Course (online) with him and it has been a very good experience.
Professional, focused introduction to Scrum
I found this a fast-moving informative course. Unusually, we were asked to tell what we knew about Scrum before being told anything about it. This seemed strange initially but helped to focus the mind on what we didn't know and was surprisingly effective. The course material was adequate and easy to read. Mural seemed like a good tool although navigating around it was difficult I found. Zoom worked fine and the breakout rooms were useful. The instructor was pleasant and kept a good balance between getting input from the participants and not allowing us to ramble on for too long.

Recently attended a Professional Scrum Master course with Simon and the scrummaster.co.uk team. It was brilliant. Came away with robust and strong knowledge of the philosophy of scrum, its participants and its structure. In addition the course gave me the ability to start over mapping this with my existing scrum team to either improve the way follow scrum or to bring our daily work task back into line with the framework and accountabilities. I intend to do the PSM II course with these guys and would highly recommend them and Simon as a training provider.

A very well-structured and clear introduction to SCRUM. Having never run or participated in a SCRUM project, I was extremely pleased with the depth of knowledge Simon shared with us over the 2-day in-person course. His teachings were clear and enjoyable, resulting in my passing the PSM I exam!
professional and thoughtful product owner training, run with virtual attendance at its core
This product owner training was very professionally run and gave me a great opportunity to consider aspects of scrum I had not previously come across. The interaction with a range of participants with really varied experiences and ways of working, all within the scrum framework, was particularly beneficial. All sessions started on time, with no technical hitches in service provision. Simon was knowledgeable and assured in his presentation. He kept sessions to manageable ‘chunks’ of activity, with plenty of breaks to allow for physical, and mental, stretching

Just completed my second course with Simon. His approach makes for a very relaxed an open conversation around course content. Simon's experience and knowledge of the SCRUM framework is very deep. The way Simon presents the course content makes it clear that the SCRUM framework can be applied in order to find a way forward with any complex problem. Really informative, and enjoyable at the same time.
Excellent content, excellent delivery
A really enjoyable and content packed 2 day course delivered by an excellent trainer. Simon's training style and use of collaborative materials in an on-line environment is by far the best I have ever experienced. I believe that the breadth of material covered in this PSPO-I course will really help me in my role as Product Owner. Highly recommended.
Highly recommended trainer
I recently took the PSPO-1 course with Simon. He's a very experienced trainer who explained everything in a clear way so that all experience levels could benefit. I appreciated the approach Simon took in making it clear that Scrum is a framework and there isn't a defined way to approach it. He wants you to understand its benefits and then ensure you can interpret the framework to maximise its potential.
Great Training (PSPO-I)
I recently attended an online PSPO-I course with The Scrum Master and Simon. Despite difficult conditions in the heat and delivering the course online, it was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone. There was a good mix of taught content, real world examples and group exercises. The online delivery was the best of many I have experienced, well structured and disciplined. The content was useful for people who are already Product Owners or just interested in the role or the practice. I'll certainly be looking to book more courses led by Simon in the future.
Simon is a excellent teacher
Simon is a excellent teacher. At first I was hesitant about learning the POSO course via the live classroom method, but Simon made it feel as we were right there. His knowledge within this subject is excellent is so detailed, he is able to answer and explain any question. I really enjoyed learning about Scrum Master course I would highly recommend any one of Simon's class that he teaches. Thank you Simon.
