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 Excellent Scrum Trainer and I am Immensely benefitted by the Training/Coaching given by Rick on the 2 day workshop. It was a very Informative and creative training sessions. Also, Rick helped all of us to put our own thinking hats and made us come up with lots of Ideas. It was a great pleasure and very good experience Interacting and working with him. I would highly recommend Rick for his Experience as a Certified Scrum Trainer. Thank you 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.

Rick was a fantastic instructor! I got my CSM with him and I was brand new to Agile and Scrum and I felt I head a good understanding after the course with him! Once I have a few years under my belt of being a Scrum Master I will definitely be getting my cert through him! Extremely knowledgeable, will answer any questions you may have, puts everything in terms you can understand! Highly recommend!

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 cannot stress this enough: Rick is one of the best educators I have ever had the opportunity to learn from. Generally speaking, Rick is clear and articulate, knowledgeable, and passionate about his work. More specifically, his mastery of Agile and Scrum concepts is very evident in his teachings. He is clearly a talented coach and motivational educator! Also, Rick has the unique ability to draw complicated concepts to make them extremely digestible. Rick’s expertise will drive you or your team to new heights, guaranteed.

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!

Rick Waters CSM certification course was amazing and that’s an understatement. I came in with 0 knowledge of Scrum or Agile principles and left feeling like an expert and could confidently talk about the subject. He made the class engaging by using many different styles of learning. Some lecture, mostly hands on, communicating with different people, it had a mix of everything which is what made it so beneficial to me. I would recommend this class to anyone because Rick is truly an amazing teacher and leads a great course.
