Rick Waters is an excellent instructor, being able to articulate his knowledge and experience in a way that is easy to grasp. He is personable, which makes asking questions (either simple or complex) less daunting.

Rick was absolutely incredible as a trainer. He had everyone fully engaged during classes and made it very interactive. I truly enjoyed his class and definitely recommend him to others. I do plan on taking additional classes with Rick in the near future. Thanks a million Rick!!! I learned so much and currently utilizing the skills I’ve learned.

Rick broke down the material for my CSM course really well and engaged with the class via multiple mediums. Rick not only discussed the topics in a very easy to understand way but also utilized visual tools which solidified the concepts further. I really liked that the course incorporated real life business examples which would apply at a normal place of work. I would highly recommend Rick in an instructor and coach capacity because he truly cares about his students and is available to provide mentorship when it is needed.

Rick Waters was a professional and outstanding instructor. Prepared well ahead of the class I was still blown away by his knowledge and insight into Scrum. He gives real world experience, provides a fun environment to learn in, and all questions were welcomed and answered in their fullest. Afterwards, I was overly prepared for my CSM and passed without missing a single question! A testament to his abilities! Rick has also been an open book and available via email or Linked in to answer questions. He has continued to blow me away with his openness to answer questions and give advice as I start my new journey in looking for a Scrum Master position!

I completed a CSM course with Rick recently. Rick is not only informative, but also entertaining. While presenting the material required for certification, he provided a lot of background knowledge and personal anecdotes that reinforced the material as it applies in the real world.

I not only recommend Rick for CSM but I would also look for other courses that he teaches, as I trust his training methods.

In August 2021, I took a CSM course taught by Rick. It definitely exceeded my expectations! Rick is very driven and works to tailor the course to each student combining an engaging teaching style with substantive experience. His passion for Agile comes out in how he shares each principle, story and historical artifact. Beyond that, its relevance has assisted me in my day-to-day in better supporting my team of software developers within a Scrum environment. I highly recommend his CSM course! It’s more than worth the price of admission!

Recently took a scrum course from Rick, he kept the class interesting and informative. The activities he planned along with his knowledge and experience made it an enjoyable time. I took the exam immediately following the course and got a 100%.

Rick is an Amazing teacher, guide, supporter, motivator. I attended his CSM certification course and I was able to clear CSM and PSM Certifications in first attempt. He was extremely cool and patient and helped us all understand the concepts of Agile very clearly. I definitely highly recommend him for any kind of guidance, educational or otherwise.

I was honored to attend Rick’s CSM course, and heartily recommend that anyone wanting to become a Certified Scrum Master sign up for one of his classes.

The course was engaging, interesting, helpful, and immersive. Rick is a fantastic, engaged teacher and servant leader. His lessons equipped me so well for the exam.

Months later, I still leverage the thorough lessons, Rick’s wise insight, and the amazing conversations he facilitated among fellow students in my group every single day. The course directly helped me to equip and authentically serve my small and growing team of engineers.

I even made some friends!
