This is an extraordinary Scrum Master training class by esteemed, experienced and exposed instructors in IT, Healthcare, Finance/Banking, Insurance,Transportation, Engineering and other domain and a wonderful SM/Coach Sam Ham who is structured, talented and lettered in Agile practice for many years. It presented me a clear and effective understanding of Agile/Scrum framework to get both certified and simplified the mind set expected in the agile practice. I highly recommend this class.

I admit, I was very skeptical about this place upon research. First, under $1200 for Scrum Master course. Second, more expensive, schools I just thought there would be no way that this place wasn’t a rip off. I am glad I did take this class. I was amazed how knowledgeable the teacher was and how easy the pace was since i was able to grasp of everything told. AMAZING TRAINING AND EXCEPTIONAL TRAINER !!!!

Usitplus provided me with step by step training and guidance. Personally, for me, it was hassle free to implement the teachings in the work environment after the course because of the in-depth knowledge I received. The thing I really like is the dedication of the instructors to help out past students who need help while on the job.

Excellent instructor that brings patience, knowledge and utilizes “real life” examples to help students understand the concepts and utilization of Scrum rather than only theory. This course helps you with job interviews and enables you to find a suitable position. Highly recommend the course.
