I enjoyed the course at Skillbook Academy that Steve Spearman coached. 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.

Steve Spearman's handbook and online delivery using Miro board captured everyone’s participation and engagement. Sharing experiences and group discussions was beneficial for anyone who is new to scrum. Steve’s online lectures were very well prepared and thoughtfully organized. Highly recommend to anyone who is interested to take any lectures with Steve.

I received professional training at a great value. I went with Skillbook Academy for my CSM 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.

Great CSM Class. The instructor, Steve Spearman, had a lot of good practical experience and was excellent - good blend of instruction, videos and hands-on training. Course confirmed my believe in scrum as the way to go. It was good to see a variety of scrum skills levels in the course where the more experienced people were able to share experiences.

Steve as an extremely effective trainer and I would highly recommend him for taking your next Skillbook course. His pacing and cadence allowed for easy engagement. His checks for understanding and noting important content for later review in preparation for the exam was very helpful. Overall, excelling quality course. I'll look to take more courses with him in the future.

I felt that this course did a good job of explaining things clearly and keeping it engaging. My instructor, Steve Spearman, facilitated in a way that made it painless. He made sure to give breaks every hour, he switched up activities the entire time, and he kept things to the point. I would definitely recommend this course for anyone looking to get their CSM.

I really enjoyed this class. Steve ensured we understood the content clearly and were ready for the exam so well that I didn't really have to use notes. Would recommend him!!

Steve was very thorough and knowledgeable, all the activities made it way more interactive and easy to learn.

Excellent

The session was great. Instructor was very knowledgeable on his product. He is very detailed and organized.

Steve was very helpful and friendly.

I had the pleasure of taking a Scrum Master training course with Steve Spearman, and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience. Steve has a remarkable ability to break down complex Agile and Scrum concepts into clear, relatable, and easy-to-understand ideas. His teaching style is approachable and engaging, which made the learning process not only effective but genuinely enjoyable. What stood out most was how comfortable Steve made me feel about preparing for the certification exam. His reassurance, combined with a strong foundation in the course material, helped me feel confident and at ease throughout the process. One suggestion I’d like to offer Scrum Alliance: consider assigning a moderator or co-facilitator to support the course. This would allow the trainer to focus solely on delivering content and addressing relevant course related questions. With someone managing logistics or handling sidebar issues, the flow of instruction would be even more seamless. Overall, Steve is a fantastic trainer and a true asset to the Scrum community. I highly recommend his courses to anyone pursuing Scrum certification.

The material was presented in a clear manner and it was easily digestible.

Very good course! Scored 100% thanks to Steve!

Steve was very detail oriented and was a great coach. The session was interactive and interesting throughout.

Excellent!
