“Simon is an outstanding agile trainer and empathic agile coach. He has vast software development experience and is a fantastic story teller. Simon skilfully introduces agile concepts and practices and knows exactly how to bring his ideas across.

He shares a wealth of experience, knowledge, techniques and approaches and sows seeds of insights and a deeper understanding of Agile and lean, that truly grow and transform the way one works and collaborates. Shortly said, if you really want to transform to agile, Simon is your man.” Anna

Our training goes beyond theory.
We bring Agile and Scrum to life in our classrooms, ensuring that you understand the concepts and gain the skills and confidence to apply them in the real world right from day one of your civilian career.
We’re not here to teach you theory for theory’s sake. Our experienced instructors will share practical tips and tricks that can be immediately applied to make you a more effective Scrum Master. You’ll leave our classes equipped with valuable tools for success.
As you prepare for your new journey, you’ll acquire essential skills and knowledge to help you stand out in the job market. Employers value agile and scrum expertise, and you’ll have it in your arsenal.
As my RAF career comes to a close, I've delved into project management disciplines, embracing Scrum and Agile, a departure from the military's values.
This transition, resonating with my beliefs, has been profound. I invested resettlement training days and Enhanced Learning Credits in a remote Certified Scrum Master (CSM) course, swiftly earning my CSM Certification, thanks to Simon Roberts' exceptional teaching.
Using industry-standard tools, we collaboratively worked through interactive sessions that facilitated the research and discovery of core Scrum principles and practices, concluding in a sprint activity and retrospective design session.
All who discover the CSM should understand that this is a great first step, but many more must follow to unlock your full potential in this line of work.
Beyond the training, I have linked with Jon Spruce, who is mentoring me through the next steps. Although my Agile journey is still in its infancy, I have connected with many Agile practitioners and Coaches within the wider Agile community who are steadfast in sharing their views and practices.
Jon has overhauled my entire professional development portfolio and facilitated the generation of a development plan so that I can use my time and money efficiently while transitioning from the Armed Forces into the civilian world of work.
