Upcoming Agile Courses

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 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.

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.

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).

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.

Rick was an amazing teacher and his teaching style made it so easy to understand content. I hope to be lucky enough to have Rick as my instructor again. I 100% recommend Rick.

I was actively seeking to professionally elevate and enrolled in a CSM class on Scrum Alliance. My initial instructor had a family emergency and we were given an option to either reschedule or move forward with Rick. Being this was all new I wasn’t sure, but decided to move forward with Rick. The sudden change was a blessing in disguise because Rick was a true Godsend. He overdelivered in the instructional and I passed my CSM on the first try! Rick not only told us what we needed to know, he also gave us gems on how to be excellent scrum masters in the future. I strongly recommend him for training and insight in the Scrum/Agile world!

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!

Got an opportunity to attend CSM workshop with Rick back in June. I really enjoyed being in his class, he is detail oriented, knowledgeable and well prepared about the course. I was successfully able to pass the test on the first attempt. Looking forward taking many more classes with him in the future.

I had a great time taking Rick’s Certified Scrum Master course this past summer. Rick’s teaching style was insightful and you can tell he is an expert with the content. There was a good balance of teaching the methodology and relating this to real world practice.
The course material was engaging and made for a nice collaborative environment to partner with our peers through.
I would highly recommend taking any courses Rick offers to better understand the ways of the Agile world.
