Testimonials
What our customers say about us
Second course with Peter and I enjoyed it equally as first one! Special shout out to Sabine for the hospitality!
I loved the course as I could learn the Scrum basics in an interactive, face-to-face way. Peter is a great moderator and storyteller, which made the learning process very entertaining.
Very motivating and experienced trainer with a wide industry knowledge. A person how can show you how to live scrum and not only know the theory.
Peter is a Scrum Master Coach who brings a deep experience and knowledge to the class. I recommend his class to anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of scrum and improve their project management skills.
Though examples, interactive tasks, and discussion we got to understand the fundamental aspects of a Scrum Team and its processes.
I'd recommend this to anyone that wants to learn the points of Scrum and what makes it work in a company that doesn't have Scrum implemented yet.
I very much appreciated the hands on approach Peter used. To the points examples and tips are very powerful to bring theory alive.
Peter is really aware to the class needs and wants. Scrum is not just for software development, and should be considered for every product driven field.
Peter truly is a trainer like no other.
Peter’s Scrum-Master course was one of the best experiences to understand the concepts and principles of Scrum.
He made sure that the required content is fully understood by the participants with a flavor of humor.

Freshly Certifiable Scrum Masters: After class celebration in Munich!
I enjoyed the course and feel its time well invested.-- participant in Zürich, February 2018
"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more." --- Morpheus in The Matrix.

Q. Does the class include certification?
The satisfactory completion of this class gives you all the prerequisites to qualify as Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Master®. An online test after the class is required. The membership and test fees are included in your course fees. The test can be taken any time within 90 days of finishing the class.
Q. What do I have to do to qualify for certification?
The Scrum Alliance certifies you. The trainer recommends you for certification. For me to recommend you, you must:
- do the introductory reading (approximately 16 pages)
- be physically and mentally present for the entire class. An absence of up to 60 minutes can be permitted, be we may require homework to compensate the missing time.
- attend the last hour of the class.
To be certified, you must
- Agree to sending your contact information to the Scrum Alliance under their terms and conditions (which may not be GPRD compliant).
- Pass the online test within 90 days of taking the class. The Scrum Master test is not hugely difficult, but it does require that you take it seriously.
