The Certified ScrumMaster (CSM)® is by far our most popular course. The CSM® is the gold-standard of certifications for Scrum Masters world-wide, backed by the Scrum Alliance®.

The Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO)® is recommended to ALL Product Owners who would like to truly begin to understand their role in an organization embracing Scrum. For most Product Owners, this is an eye-opening experience.

The Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM)® course is intended for ScrumMasters who are serious about making the role their mission. We dive deep into the techniques great Scrum Masters use to understand their teams, organizations, and how people interact.

The Certified Scrum Professional – ScrumMaster (CSP-SM)® is the highest certification that ScrumMasters can achieve. This is only achievable with several years of experience as a ScrumMaster and many hours of training from other Scrum professionals. Successful CSP-SM candidates often find a great deal of value in having a mentor help them understand many of the deeper subjects that make great ScrumMasters.

I had an amazing life-changing experience of taking Rick Waters’ Certified Scrum Master course. The transparency of the outline of the class was very helpful and it helped guide me to be prepared for the course. Rick executed his Agile Scrum expertise in a professional, knowledgeable manner while keeping my fellow classmates engaged and encouraged. I was able to obtain my CSM due to the knowledge that I obtained in the CSM course. Rick Waters is an excellent instructor and leader in the Agile Scrum Industry.

I totally recommend Rick Waters as your instructor if you are ready to accelerate your career growth. The knowledge, tools, and transparency that Rick’s courses provide equip you with the rapid and continuous growth within today’s market.

Rick is an excellent Agile instructor! The hours spent with him are easily digestible and Rick is great at making his curriculum engaging and effective. Not only does he create a solid foundation for you to build off of, he integrates his real world practices into the class so that practical application is easy to understand. I cannot recommend his courses enough as I will look for him when I take my next certification!

I had a great learning experience with Rick in my CSM session. He was able to clarify all of my questions, and to offer suggestions on how to tackle various scenarios. Within a month of taking Rick’s CSM course, I was able to transition into a Scrum Master role! I’m looking forward to implementing everything I learned from Rick!

Rick is a fantastic instructor. I was able to relate to the material and the content and pace were easy to follow. I also had some of the most fun I’ve had in an online class which speaks to the environment Rick strives to create in his courses. I passed my certification test easily after taking Rick’s ScrumMaster course since I felt confident in everything I had learned. I wouldn’t hesitate to take another of his courses.

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).
