I was a bit disappointed with the content of the training course. It was too similar to PSPO1. There weren’t enough new elements or practical scenarios with exercises.

A pleasant atmosphere, with an instructor who was attentive to our needs. We were able to ask questions at any time. We had plenty of time to share our experiences in the relevant context. I felt that some of the thematic modules were too long (with too much repetition compared to the content of PSPO I), which reduced the time allocated to new material. I would have liked the practical exercises to have been a little better structured, with more explanation of the methodology used.

Overall, the training was of a high standard and the discussions were interesting. However, I was a little surprised by the balance of the content. I felt that a lot of time was spent reviewing the Scrum framework and agility, as well as on exercises that were quite similar to those carried out during PSPO I.Given the level of the course, I would have appreciated an approach more geared towards ‘senior’ Product Owners, with more time devoted to piloting

Overall, I was satisfied, but the content was very similar to PSPO I. It’s a shame we spent so much time revising PSPO I rather than focusing more on new material, or on examples of workshops or how to prioritise (which would have been directly useful to us in our day-to-day work).

I was expecting a lot of theory, but Thomas’s approach was very practical and relevant. The balance between preparing for the certification and learning practical skills to try and apply in our day-to-day work was very well managed. A good balance between group workshops, theoretical presentations and tests...

The trainer is a very skilled teacher and has a thorough grasp of the subject matter. The content is engaging, particularly thanks to the numerous practical examples and the sharing of experiences, which help participants to fully grasp the concepts. What’s more, it’s excellent preparation for passing the certification exam. Many thanks!

Very interesting and well-constructed course. Pierre's explanations are clear and he uses lots of concrete examples from his own experience, which makes the advanced concepts easier to understand. The exchanges are fluid and the teaching methods really encourage practical application. A useful and rewarding course.

A catastrophic and rude trainer. Very little time given over to exam preparation and 'pure' theory, very many generalities, openly admits not having read the books and works he recommends, indulges in racist remarks that are unacceptable in a professional context (before making jokes and imitating Romanian accents, please check that you don't have any in your training group), leaves during the training to 'see the chimney sweep who's coming'.

It was a very rewarding course, and I'd like to thank the trainer! It was very useful to correct the mock exam together. However, I would have liked to spend more time on the more complex concepts related to PSPOII and less time on the basics of Scrum.
