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!

Rick was such an amazing teacher, he elaborated on each term that was explained. He communicated very well and was very clear in delivering the material. Rick went above and beyond in making sure everyone understood the course by reaching out to each and every individual during the session.
Definitely a great instructor and recommend to anyone !!! He is the Best in whatever he know and teach !!!

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!

Rick is an outstanding trainer. His Scrum training sessions are well structured, interesting, interactive and based on the vast experience he has accumulated over the years working with this framework. I would not hesitate to recommend him as an Agile Coach. He will be a great adding for any organization who wishes to enhance their Scrum practices or to go through an Agile transformation.

I had the pleasure of taking my CSM training course under Rick. I highly recommend him for this course. He has a wealth of knowledge and training with teaching this course. His teaching methods are very clear and easy to understand. I passed my Cert on the first attempt with missing only 2 questions.

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.

I had the pleasure of taking a Certified Scrum Master (CSM) course with Rick. His training session was the best I have ever attended. Rick brings years of industry experience along with a passion for teaching/training. These items yielded a classroom experience like no other. This was much more than just a training, but also a great opportunity to ask real world questions to someone who had the experience to address. I plan to continue my certification path and will be attending future sessions with Rick. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for an engaged trainer who is truly passionate about what he does (and it shows).
