Steve Spearman was a great CSPO trainer. He had a nice balance of theory, practical examples and team exercises to highlight the topic.

Ram is an experienced and excellent teacher. I attended the Certified Scrum Master training where he mixed up teaching concepts, quizzes and case studies well. It was 2 days of immersive training, highly engaging, learned a lot and highly recommend him.

Sudheer Ponnamaneni.png

Very knowledgeable and organized instructors, the courses are well thought out and the instructors are very good at encouraging class participation and interaction.  One of the better instructional courses I have taken.


Marc Boutillette.png

I cannot recommend Skillbook Academy enough. In just 2 days we learned the basics of Agile and we put it into action. It was such a fun and productive course full of plenty of opportunities to ask, talk, laugh and work in groups.

Ernesto Rivas.png

Interaction with Mr.Ram from SBA was very fulfilling. The 2 day workshop on CSM was excellent. Looking forward to more such workshops.

Melissa White was a phenomenal instructor. She has so much knowledge and real world experience and she shares it in an engaging and entertaining way. I was sad when the class ended, as we had formed a fun little community. 


Becky Courington.png

My course with Harry at Skillbook was really great and I can very much recommend everybody that's interested in SAFe to participate in any of his courses.

One of the best workshops I have ever attended. The instructor was spot on and always kept the class engaged.

Cory.png

The course was fantastic. Strong recommendation for anyone going into this role or prepping for the test!




Aaron Perrell.png

I received professional training at a great value. I went with Skillbook Academy for my CSPO certification and I have no regrets. All course materials were provided prior to the first day of training to get you familiar with what you need to know and they have a solid game plan, even backup tech if things were to go wrong, which they did during my training with them. All-in-all, highly professional, organized, and a great instructor. Highly recommended.




Franco Landa.png

My learning experience about LPM was remarkable. Strongly recommend!


Rodrigo Giaffredo.webp

This course was amazing! Steve is a consummate trainer who uses different learning techniques to share and reinforce concepts. The added perspective of 30+ years of experience makes his training an exceptional value. 10/10 recommend!


Linda Haywood.png

The CSM course is very informative. You'll learn everything you need to know about Scrum, from the basics to the more advanced concepts. The course is hands-on. You'll have plenty of opportunities to practice what you're learning. The course is relevant to the real world.

Absolutely great training, it was engaging and hands on. Great teaching !!


Courtney McClendon.png

Had a wonderful experience with Tracey Rideout in the Leading SAFe course, highly recommend !


Courtney Davis.png

Tracey Rideout did an amazing job as an instructor. The team exercises and breakout rooms also helped provide a practical experience. I enjoyed this training!


Olubunmi Falana.png

I passed CSPO with Jan Beaver. He is so professional, competent, punctual and has great teaching skills. I was totally new to SCRUM and know a lot right now. This course is actually interactive, and you simulate real examples through team working. I definitely recommend this organization and Jan as the instructor.

Payam Karbasi.png

Amy was an excellent instructor. The class was very informative and engaging, I'd highly recommend!

Alexandra Khan.webp

The CSPO with Jan Beaver was more of a hands-on experience, as we got to interact with other students in breakout rooms and utilize Trello to create user stories. 


Jonelle Owens.png

I am so glad I got my CSPO through Skillbook Academy. Peter was a fantastic instructor and I really enjoyed taking the class. I really liked the interactive nature of the class and how hands-on it was. I really valued the real life examples that Peter and the rest of the class shared. Looking forward to my next certificate! 

Evelyn Vela.png

The pace of the course and the detail provided was excellent. The trainer brought energy and enthusiasm to the course with real-world examples. Thank you!




Derek Scott.png

I took the course with Harry. It was clear from how he communicated and shared real world stories that he understands the SAFe agile mindset deeply. We used modern tools like Miro, which paired with zoom breakout rooms made for a very dynamic experience that never felt boring or repetitive. He was very patient and thoughtful in his responses to all my questions, and there were many. I have already spoken with my boss about how great an experience it was and have recommended his course for any of my peers in need of a first time or refresher training. 


Santi.png

Over the course of 3 days, Harry leveraged his mastery of SAFe to walk us through what it means to truly be an architect within the methodology. Harry did an incredible job keeping us all engaged through exercises, direct questions, and using relatedness to our current work or hobbies. He was VERY prepared with all materials and discussions. His use of digital technology platforms, like Miro, made this an experience that felt in-person despite it being remote. He leaned on the teams for determining breaks and lunches and was flexible.My favorite part of the course was his integration of prior experience with big name companies, ie Amazon, Starbucks, USAF, in addition to a surprise guest speaker. Thank you, Harry!

I dialed in from London, UK, as I heard Melissa is great, and I wasn't disappointed. Great facilitation, was light and humorous, kept a good cadence, and I was lucky to be in a small class. Lots of practical, pragmatic advice, alongside learning the material to prep for the exam. 5/5.


John Maduka.png

Simply loved the class! Coaching skills are awesome! Highly recommend taking the course under him! 


Shilpana Bhawal-01.png

Recently I did my SAFe Agilist training through Skillbook and found them really professional. I received an appropriate amount of communication before the training and all the material was shared a week before to give enough time to read the pre-training material. I would highly recommend them for SAFe Agilist training.


Ayush Aggarwal.png

I took the SAFe LPM course. And the classes were truly interactive and conversational in nature. Highly recommend it.

Female_Testimonial_Pic.png

I have done CSM and A-CSM workshops from Skillbook academy and both trainers were very knowledgeable and provided real life examples and scenarios. I would highly recommend this academy for all agile scrum workshops.

I took the SAFe for Arch Certification Workshop with Harry Narang as the trainer. It was an informative and creative training session. Harry shared his real world experiences and made it rich and lively. He helped us put on our thinking hats , come up with ideas, made us realize our pain points & our areas of improvement. Thanks Harry!



Skillbook's team exceeded my expectations.  Scheduling and coordinating an entire team for training was easy.  Then, we were all blown away by their instructor in our class!  They were easy to follow and held our attention during the virtual two day class.


Leslie Ingram.png

SAFe Scrum Master was one of the best courses I have taken. In the 2 day workshop I was with professionals in the field or aspiring professionals. The instructor Ryan did a phenomenal job facilitating the course and working with the 16 people in the class. I am looking forward to my next certification that I will be taking with SAFe.

I took both CSM and CSPO trainings through Skillbook Academy. The team was really good to deal with, responded promptly to all my queries and both the trainings were organised very well. The trainer was highly experienced and provided a ton of useful information during the training sessions. I would really recommend Skillbook Academy for anyone interested in taking Agile related trainings.

Nitin Jadar.png

Melissa White's class SAFe Scrum Master was excellent. She presented the material in a fun and understanding way, the class was interactive, and was an overall enjoyable experience.

Renee Magill.png

I took both CSM and CSPO training with Peter and this was the most valuable and most interactive training I have ever taken. He is a highly knowledgeable, accomplished and highly effective communicator. I highly recommend his classes/training. 

Ramanpreet Singh.png

Hi, I wish there were more than 5 stars. The trainer was extremely knowledgeable, and was thorough throughout the training duration. From the beginning of introductions till the last minute of the class, the guidance, lessons and next steps were incredibly well structured and executed.
I strongly recommended taking the course with Skillbook Academy. Just a wonderful experience altogether.


Praveen K.T..png

I attended Skillbook Academy's training. It was a great experience. What I liked most was the trainer's upbeat and engaging teaching style, which made it accessible and enjoyable to learn. He had a keen focus on key Scrum concepts, ensuring that participants grasped the fundamental principles thoroughly. The breakout sessions were a fantastic addition, making the learning process interactive and engaging. Highly recommend for anyone looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of Scrum in a dynamic and informative environment.

Chris van Toren.png

Excellent CSPO Training. It was really interesting and a wonderful training session. Ram explained the concepts well and gave real life examples. We also got a chance to practice the concepts via breakout rooms and working as teams. Ram kept the discussions lively and everyone engaged. He ensured that all our questions were answered.
I would definitely like to take other training sessions conducted by Ram.

Aseema Deswal.png

It was very knowledgeable and hands-on training with lots of group activities. The training content is detailed enough to get yourself familiarized with the concept. The trainer has lots of experience and shares real time scenarios as part of this training.

Aj M.png

Great customer support, and a great training staff. I've been participating in SAFE training and the trainer did really well preparing me for certification (which I passed during the first try). In terms of organization of the training I also have a good impression - I've received an email with meeting credentials and training materials to familiarize with in advance. Overall, 5/5


Michał Zamojski.png

I received professional training at a great value. I went with Skillbook Academy for my CSPO certification and I have no regrets. The course with Steve Spearman was highly organized and executed very professionally during this time of remote training. All course materials were provided prior to the first day of training to get you familiar with what you need to know and they have a solid game plan, even backup tech if things were to go wrong, which they did during my training with them. All-in-all, highly professional, organized, and a great instructor. Highly recommended.


 I recently had the privilege of participating in an online training session for the Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) certification, led by the outstanding coach and facilitator, Cathy Simpson. This comprehensive program was an absolute game-changer for me, propelling my understanding and expertise in the Scrum framework to new heights. With Cathy's guidance, the course was an enlightening experience, leaving me confident and well-equipped to tackle any Scrum-related challenges that come my way.

The SAFe Architecture training was unbelievably awesome. Certainly, Harry Narang is an energetic, exceptional, and expert trainer. I really loved his teaching style and methods. I took about eight SAFe courses with various trainers earlier and found that Harry is the best of all.
I believe he mastered the framework and passion to share the knowledge with the community. I love to get more SAFe training through him in the future.

Very professional, training started on time, training content was good with real life scenarios. The instructor has very special skill to keep everyone engaged and and involved, it was fun learning with them. Definitely recommended

Savan D.png

This training was well constructed, giving more time to build a face-to-face interaction with scrum. With solid progression leading up from history and high level to the level of granularity to effectively get immersed if you're not using scrum on a day-to-day basis but gives you great new info if you do. Recommend this completely - intelligent workshop topics that built up to cogent takeaways made this really useful.

Charles Rhoden.png

The concepts that were a part of training were explained to the cohort in a very interactive manner and the discussions throughout the 2-day training sessions were extremely productive. The diversity and range in work experience in the class was extremely helpful in sharing and exchanging different ideas and approaches. So I highly recommend people to take this training.

Uttkarsh Kumar Singh.png

The class  was amazing. Great teacher and always answered all our questions. I also liked that we had practical parts included in the training and lots of teamwork. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge with us. Truly appreciate it!

Irina Ayukegba.png

CSPO just finished. It was an awesome 2-day journey with Sekhar Burra. It was much more than training, it was enlightening, mind blowing and full of unlearning and experiential learning. I am so happy to have learnt the insights on Product Owner roles and the tools techniques necessary to accomplish product journey. I would also highly like to recommend this training session by Sekhar Burra.

A fantastic experience with Skillbook Academy! Took both the CSM & CSPO certifications. Professional, educational, very hands on, with lots of real-life scenarios, in a very comfortable and convenient environment. Very well organized, exceptionally informed and experienced instructor - I could listen to him talk for hours.

Lea Vainer.webp

Lots of visual aids, videos, and resources to educate yourself during the class and in your study time. The instructor was educated, enthusiastic, and adaptable to those with various experience levels in the class.


Dillon McCallister.png

I attended a CSM course which was taken by Sekhar Burra, organized by Skillbook. Awesome trainer with deep knowledge on the practical aspects of Scrum. He kept the sessions lively with practical demos and theory mixed in. And addressed many of the challenges that we face in becoming Agile, especially the importance of "unlearning" the traditional mindset to projects.

Bobby Jose.png

I had a chance last weekend to take a CSM course through Skillbook past week. I would like to say Sekhar is very well versed, he knows ins and outs of the industry and keeps the class focused and fun. Would recommend to learn from him.

Vandana Pawar.png

I attended the LPM certification course and enjoyed the session!!! Very well organized, informative and interactive. More real world examples, metaphors make it easier to understand how the concepts are applied in the practical context. Excellent job with all the latest tools that are used during the session which makes it very convenient and collaborative.

I took the CSPO certification with Peter Saddington. He was awesome and made the training fun, interactive and interesting. Choose his class if you get the chance.

Mohnish Prasanna.png

I had a great learning experience during the 2-day SAFe Scrum Master training. Excellent instructor who goes the extra mile in ensuring his students understand key concepts, are well prepared for the exam and can apply the concepts in their daily work. He values feedback and follows up on it during the class. I highly recommend Harry and the Skillbook Academy!

Ankush D'Souza.png

Had an awesome experience attending the SAFe Agilist virtual training program. Regular follow-ups by Skillbook before the training starts to make sure everything is in place. Very professional and knowledgeable trainer who explained the concepts citing real life/business examples which made it easy to grasp. Will definitely enroll for future training.

Partho Majumdar.png

Skillbook SAFe LPM course with Harry was excellent.  Good pace and course materials.  Would highly recommend it.



Brian Donnelly.png

I had the opportunity to take my Certified Scrum Master (CSM) course. It was a good course. There were several things I enjoyed about the class such as the multiple breakout sessions which allows you to learn from your fellow classmates, who bring their experiences and questions. I also enjoyed the real life examples, case studies and multiple scenarios we were given which allowed us to put the framework into practice. We had the opportunities to apply the things we learnt which made the course practical. I gained a good understanding of the 3 Accountabilities, the 5 Events, the 3 Artifacts, and so much more. The course was also a good opportunity to network with people who are in similar fields or people who aspire to be in the same field. I thoroughly enjoyed this course, and I feel prepared to take my certification.




Ololade F.png

The CSM class with Jan Beaver was amazing. He is a great teacher and always answered all our questions. I also liked that we had practical parts included in the training and lots of teamwork. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge with us Jan. Truly appreciate 

Excellent Scrum Product Owner Training. Sekhar provided a wonderful experience learning the skills required of a Scrum Product Owner. The two-day course was engaging and fun. I had a basic understanding of what a Product Owner did going into the training, but was blown away by how much more there was to learn. Thank you Skillbook for helping me grow in my Scrum journey.

I enjoyed the CSPO course at Skillbook Academy that was coached by Steve Spearman. The material was professionally prepared. The course was very educational, right to the point, with lots of fun workshop activities. I learned a lot from Steve who is a true experienced Agile coach. Steve made a point to answer all questions, he was available for any help even during short breaks, and after the course was completed. I highly recommend Skillbook Academy and Steve as an Agile Coach.

Alec Katz.png

SAFe is one of the Training 100% worth taking. All the participants were involved and taken into account since day1. Good pace and very, very interactive. We ended up feeling like a real team. I really hope we can see each other in training.

Laura Campos.png

I was a novice about Scrum frameworks when I subscribed for the training and after the workshop I became vast in the scrum methodologies  which gave me courage to write the exam 3 days after and I passed at first attempt. I will recommend Ram, the great facilitator and SkillBook Academy to anyone that aspires to build a career as an Agile Scrum professional.


Kamorudeen Abass.png

I highly recommend taking the training course. It was engaging and interactive, and you get to meet people from all over the country! The trainer was able to deliver large amounts of information within a short period of time, without making you feel like he was rushing through any specific points. He answered questions very well and made it a great learning experience. I learned so much in just a weekend.

Katherine Shin.png

A well delivered course, highly interactive and clearly delivered. The trainer was engaging who shared his expert knowledge very well to bring life to the content.


Joy Hagelthorn.png

Excellent instructor Chris Harrison. Appreciated the after course quiz.

Jacqueline Ungerer.png

I recently attended a Scrum training, and I can't recommend it enough! The instructor was fantastic – he had effective teaching methods, were incredibly helpful, and truly expert in the field. He made Scrum concepts easy to grasp. The content of the training was spot on. It covered all the objectives and even added relevant insights from the instructor's experience, which made it practical and engaging. Overall, my experience with the Scrum training was top-notch. We had some hands-on experiences that made everything click, and I left with a solid understanding of Scrum concepts and main ideas. If you're considering similar training programs, don't hesitate to sign up. It's well worth it!

Ivan Michelle Garcia Dominguez.png

I was impressed with how interactive the online course was, how much information was given during the 2 days, and how much I was able to retain. Very good trainer and clearly knowledgeable about the subject.

Dina B.png

The training was wonderful and great. Great trainer, SCRUM contents were well explained. I like the hands-on aspect of the training and group (Team) setting method of approach in solving problems. The basic bases of SCRUM applications and its core values when it comes to solving complex problems utilizing its FRAMEWORK (not methodology) concepts. The usage of MIRO and TRELLO boards for product metrics and tracking is amazing. To cap it all, the presentations of 'WHY SCRUM' to the executives were so interesting. I believe everyone, like me, learnt a bunch of ideas and very deep knowledge of scrum rudiments and its applications.
(Highly Recommended)


Matt Tew.png

I did the training over the weekend and found the content and training structure to be helpful in understanding the course content and scenarios. Found the training to be helpful. Terrific instructor and facilitator.


Reena Pilgrim.png

It was very interesting for me, it was a totally new field but the facilitator was very helpful and ensured that we were carried along in his teaching.


Cynthia Achife.png

Great experience! Instructor provided information in a manner that was easy to understand and retain. Would definitely sign up for any additional certs needed!

Michael Callahan is an awesome instructor!  The class was very engaging and Michael created a safe environment to learn.  Very much appreciate your expertise and real life examples.




Juliette Tran-Rodriguez.png

This is the most fun I’ve ever had in a virtual class. Tracey knows how to make it interesting and keep the class engaged with real world examples and personal stories. The virtual breakout sessions in Zoom were well planned and timeboxed, giving the attendees a sense of what it is like to work with remote scrum teams in a virtual environment well done!


Kenny Baskin.png

Very well organized and had many hands-on exercises in the classroom for students to grasp the core values and principles of SAFe.  Great instructor who took the time to answer any questions, recapped key takeaways of each lesson, and encouraged lots of involvement in the classroom. I would definitely recommend it to anyone! 


Thoa Campbell.png

Harry was a great instructor. He was able to balance all of the different students' skill sets while still making sure we all got the most out of the class. His real life examples and experiences were invaluable. He was well prepared with assignments during and after class. I would recommend Harry for future training for myself and my coworkers.

tarneshaa.webp

The training covered all the topics that I needed to clear the certification. On top of that, the trainer was able to give us several real world examples and exam tips that made it easier to prepare for the exam. The trainer even helped out after the training on any doubts. Much recommended. Wouldn't think twice if I have to take any other training.


Ramanujam Chakravarthy-01.png

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have POPM course through Skillbook Academy. After finishing this course, I am extremely confident in my understanding of Agile and how it works in an ART, regardless of organization or industry/domain. I need to practice and study a lot to amass the Agile wordings needed to pass my POPM Certification Test on the first try. I would strongly advise others to take this course if they expect to advance in their careers.

Shad Swenson.webp

Since I am new in this Product Owner space I have a lot of things to catch up with. The way Cathy formulated the content and sequence of training is a fun experience! Thank you Cathy!
