Certification Guarantee

You WILL Earn Your Certification!

For some students, no matter how hard they try, tests (like the one you have to take after the classroom training to earn the Certified ScrumMaster certification) can make people really upset. You know the information, but you sit down to take the test and you just can’t do it. Well, if you give it your best shot and still you don’t pass the test on either of the two attempts we pay for when you sign up for the course, we’ll help you understand what you did wrong and pay for the test up to TEN more times until you pass.

We are SO confident in our ability to teach you Scrum that, even though we’ve been offering this guarantee for a number of years, no one has ever had to take us up on it.

Jim is a fantastic instructor! The two-day Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) Certification Course with him was challenging and rewarding. He had an incremental way of teaching the course that starts with the fundamentals of Agile and Scrum, perfect for beginners! I enjoyed the group projects of creating a product that helped us to get a feel for what it would be like in this space. He is passionate and super knowledgeable about these topics and cares about his students, ensuring that you understand the material. I highly recommend Jim for all your certification, training, and consulting needs!
