Ondanks dat het boven de 35 graden was wist Gert-Jan ons te inspireren. Leuk ook om van mensen uit een andere branche te leren. Goede interactieve training met goede voorbereiding voor het examen en certificering.

Ik heb de Scrum Master 1 training gevolgd bij Scrum Academy en ben supertevreden! Van tevoren had ik weinig tot geen kennis van Agile of Scrum, maar na deze twee dagen is het me helemaal duidelijk: wat het is, waarom je het gebruikt en wanneer je het inzet. De training was lekker interactief en er was veel ruimte voor vragen en praktijkvoorbeelden. De trainer was ervaren, enthousiast en wist alles op een duidelijke en toegankelijke manier uit te leggen. Ook de locatie was top: goed bereikbaar, fijne sfeer en de verzorging van de dagen (lunch, snacks, etc.) was uitstekend geregeld. Een aanrader voor iedereen die een goede basis wil leggen in Scrum!

Training wordt op een hele goede, dynamische en interactieve manier gegeven. Je leert veel over de achtergrond en het framework door oefeningen uit te voeren op een laagdrempelige manier. De reflectie momenten zorgen ervoor dat het geoefende blijft hangen. De trainer, Gert-Jan, heb ik meegemaakt als een aardige, toegankelijke en prettige persoonlijkheid. Zoek je een training om o.a de agile mindset en scrum framework toe te kunnen (gaan) passen en/of je/de rol(len) te verbeteren dan moet je zeker bij de Scrum Academy zijn !

Hele fijne scrummastertraining gevolgd. Steile leercurve, waarbij theorie en (eigen) praktijk goed in balans waren. Aanrader!

Een geweldige ervaring gehad bij de Agile Coach training van Scrum Academy! De training was niet alleen ontzettend leerzaam en interessant, maar ook erg leuk en interactief. De trainer begreep de rol van Agile Coach als geen ander en wist op een prettige manier zowel de theorie als de praktijk tot leven te brengen. Met veel ruimte voor vragen en praktijkoefeningen kon je de opgedane kennis direct toepassen. Het was een gezellige en tegelijkertijd zeer educatieve training. Echt een aanrader voor iedereen die zich wil ontwikkelen als Agile Coach!

Ik heb de training 'Agile Coach 1' gevolgd en die was boven verwachting leuk. Niet alleen omdat ik het ontdekt dat agile coaching zoveel facetten bevat (waar ik heel blij van wordt), maar ook omdat de leraar/ coach Roy echt heel goed was. Ik heb tientallen cursussen en training gevolgd, maar deze is een van de beste! Raad dit zeker aan als je agile coach wilt worden. Wel handig als je goeie kennis of ervaring hebt met agile en/ of scrum.

Erg tevreden over de Product Owner II Training! Goede trainer met duidelijke uitleg aan de hand van grote flip-overs. Fijne balans tussen theorie, eigen casussen en reflectie.
