The Agile Facilitator course I attended was one of the most useful and productive training courses I have ever been on. Jacob was an amazing facilitator and the volume of learning materials and experiences shared over the two days was incredibly useful to me in my day-to-day role/work.

Jacob, the presenter, was highly skilled with practical experience in all the topics. The answer to every question was followed up by a real-life example. Everybody had the possibility to learn a lot while having fun.

Very full-on two days, lots of good skills and tricks taught in the course about Scrum. Enjoy the real life experiences Jacob shared with the class.

Well-structured course. Lots of interesting content. Great energy in the presentation... it's very rare to attend a 3-day course and stay engaged end to end, but I had absolutely no difficulty doing this. Really really impressed.

Life-changing for budding BAs.

It was really insightful, inspirational to hear real-life examples and I learned a lot.

The training aligned with what I see as an industry-must for organisations. It filled in a lot of gaps in my knowledge and had until now been unable to fill through personal research. The delivery from Allen in particular was excellent.

The course was engaging and presented in a way that made what could be quite a 'dry' topic interesting and memorable. It has left me with lots of ideas and thoughts around how I can use this information.

It was a good introduction to a complex process in a short timeframe. Good variety of exercises and activities.

Very interactive teaching methods. Instructors are very knowledgeable about the course material and were always ready to answer questions or discuss content further.

Excellent pace and targeted subject matter to the actual attendees. Tutor was knowledgeable, not just theoretically, but also with huge backlog of real-life experience.

Great facilitators who are able to demonstrate how you might apply the content and can go much deeper across a range of components. A real focus on ensuring you get what you need from the course.

The content is highly relevant and to the point. The training isn't just listening to theory, you get (really) involved in exercises which teach you HOW to actually use the ideas and techniques. The teachers are knowledgeable, experienced and enthusiastic.

Bruce maintained a great level of energy throughout. I very much appreciated some of the tools that were taught such as User Story Mapping. I particularly appreciated the exercises where we practised the production of a new product.

The facilitators were excellent – knew their stuff, well prepared, good at facilitation, personable. The content was relevant, interesting and comprehensive. The approach worked well; hands-on practical and shared experiences are good pedagogical approaches.

Enjoyed a good mix of practical exercises and discussion. Jacob clearly knows his stuff.
Encouraged to 'change the world' one step at a time.

Excellent trainers, lots of tools explained and demonstrated, good materials, lots of practice.

The instructors kept us very engaged and offered multiple modes of learning. They created an incredibly safe space for us to 'fail' and try new things. They were incredibly knowledgeable and able to provide us with insightful and detailed answers to any questions.

The material and presenter were extremely engaging. I am new to Scrum. Well done. I am really excited now to enter the Scrum world.

Loved each and every bit of the course. Very well-designed and executed.

Jacob had a great manner with the class and explained and illustrated concepts well. The content was well-structured and engaging.

Very interesting and engaging course. Lots of real-world applications and scenarios were given to reinforce the learning.

Exceeded my expectations. Knowledgeable, confident facilitator and lucky to have a good collaborative bunch on the course with me.

The course was great because it was delivered by people who are familiar with our organisation and they tailored the discussions, examples etc to how we are currently working.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course, the trainer was excellent and I felt totally at ease to involve myself with the team activities. Definitely very enlightening. I will recommend the course to my peers and definitely pick Assurity for future courses.

The course flowed well, the content was good and Jacob was a great presenter with lots of experience.

This would have to be the best course I've ever attended for several reasons. The content was spot on for me and covered what I needed. Bruce was an excellent trainer... able to articulate the content in a way that was easily understood... along with all the practical exercises.

Trainers were brilliant, collaborative, supportive, created a safe environment and demonstrated what being a great facilitator is!

Fraser and Bruce were excellent teachers who were really passionate about the subject and able to adapt as we provided feedback (e.g. speed up the pace, include real-life examples, etc). Good sized class and really interactive. I got a lot out of it.

Great facilitation by Bruce. Loved the fact that there was sufficient time to discuss content and interaction to assist with learning. Bruce also took the time to explain stuff in breaks which really helped.

The course addressed all the questions I had around Agile and its concepts. It validated my preferences on how I have been working with teams that are practical, pragmatic, collaborative and fit for purpose approaches to delivery which creates continuous improvement and change.

The course really has incentivised me to keep practising the mindset and principles that I continue to adapt and adjust for new environments and situations I go into. I’m really keen to take it to the next level and keep learning.

The course content was extremely relevant. The exercises enabled us to get a better understanding of how the Agile mindset delivered greater results.

The content was really good. The presenter was excellent and kept the momentum. The learning outcome was exceptional.

The course was well presented, the material covered at the right level for an entry level course for both those brand new to the concepts and those with some knowledge both taking away learnings.

The trainer knew his domain and was able to share his passion for the topic with humour and professionalism. I feel well prepared for the exam and will be in a better position to aim for this kind of role in the future.

The course material was delivered fantastically in a way that worked for everyone from daily DevOps users to those who didn't know what it was. The trainers were wonderful and enthusiastic about the course and the content and made the training very engaging.

An exceptional course in understanding more than just the technical aspects of how DevOps is applied. The 'why' was valuable but also it enabled me to see how cultural change is needed when looking at traditional infrastructure operational teams.

Carefully constructed, well delivered and clearly evidenced as a living, breathing exemplar!

I found the course well run and Bruce facilitated the two days very well. It was very engaging with a good mix of learning combined with practical exercises.

The course was well run, respected all our learning styles and gave a good opportunity for reflection and collaboration.

Bruce and Fraser are very well-versed in Agile and great at answering curve ball questions on the fly in clear and practical ways. Great comprehensive course, especially condensing it into two days. Highly commendable!

It was a well-run, focused training session. Even though I have been a Prod Owner for a while, I still learnt new tips and tricks and got info out of it. I came out more empowered to do the tasks I need to in an often challenging role.

The instructors not only created a really relaxing and friendly environment, but also helped us understand how the Agile model could be applied in our field. The task allocation game was the highlight of the day. Love to see the impact of Agile in a real-life scenario!

The BVA course was professionally delivered with a lot of invaluable learnings, yet at a flexible pace with more in-depth discussions answered comprehensively. It was the best experience I have had attending a course.

I think it was an incredible course. My only improvement for a 10/10 would be having the course somewhere hot and sunny!

Really useful and practical course, delivered in a super engaging way. Lots of interactive learning activities with a wealth of additional materials provided.

I had a very good experience which helped me to put together into a usable structure my Agile knowledge. Bruce is an excellent educator. I've enjoyed the course and find it incredibly useful and beneficial.

It was really helpful to me as I've never had formal training. Lots of Eureka moments.

I consistently find Assurity-led learning sessions to be high quality with confident, knowledgeable facilitators and excellent resources.

Awesome content, great environment, professional friendly lecture, relevant work examples.

The feedback (on Better Software Development) has been overwhelmingly positive both with the content and how it was presented. People are keen to adopt this way of working. Now I just need to maintain the momentum.

Ceedee was a top-notch facilitator!! One of the best I've ever had. The course content was practical and interactive which kept me constantly engaged... For someone with a short attention span, that's saying something!

Ceedee is an awesome facilitator and trainer! The Fundamentals of Agile was delivered in a way that it would be hard not to enjoy and learn the objectives of this course – interesting, varied and the games brought reality to practical application

Presenter (Ceedee) had hands-on experience and clearly articulated the 'Fundamentals of Agile'. It was the perfect balance of presenting and interactive participation.

Course was well-run and trainer had great experience and knowledge.

Very good course. The pace was good for someone that had very little knowledge of Agile. We covered a lot of content and the activities were very relevant. I really enjoyed Bruce's facilitation style.

Good course content, great real-life examples from Bruce and other course attendees. Relevant and enjoyable activities too.

It was perfect, exactly what I needed. Purists of Agile believe that you don't need Agile Project Managers in Agile. However, in NZ, it is clearly otherwise. Agile and Digital PMs need to do this course.

It has been a great two days. Bruce is a very interactive and excellent trainer.

Professionalism and variety in learning through an extremely well-planned and valuable course.

Well-run days, course material very good. Facilitating brilliant!!! Best I have ever attended.

We absolutely loved the Fundamentals of Agile course and have hit the ground running with applying the Agile tools and mindset.

I found the course to be very informative without being stressful or feeling overwhelmed – comfortable and safe environment that resulted in a relaxed group that felt happy to share experiences.

Fantastic facilitation. Great pace and relatable content.

This is hands down the best course I've been on. Every part of it was beneficial to me in my role and I will definitely be back for more. Also very well facilitated by Ceedee.

The Fundamentals of Agile course was mind-blowing and Ceedee was a brilliant facilitator. I can see the benefit in having practitioners as trainers.

The course was very informative and interactive. The instructor used real-world examples to convey the message.

Great course, great material. Nice size group and very experienced (in a real-world sense) trainer. Learned lots and enjoyed the openness of other attendees.

Great content, resources and instructor. Friendly and constructive environment. Good amount of breaks and great food!

This course is amazing, no matter how many times you take it! I thoroughly love working with the Assurity team and tell everyone I know how great they are! I hope we continue to work together and do more cool stuff in the future!

It was a breath of fresh air to be around the like-minded course leaders with relevant industry experience. I left feeling empowered and enthusiastic about the next step in my agile journey.

A well-rounded package that provides plenty of interaction presented in an entertaining way. The best training I've had.

The Agile training was very good, especially the Being Agile vs Doing Agile. Well-run course. Nick set the scene, answered questions, encouraged open dialogue and learning through doing. Focus on key points and concepts. A lot of practical experience to back up points made. Nick was an excellent facilitator.

Relevant and informative course content based on a well-thought-out curriculum. The course was well-taught by an impressive instructor.

The tutor/trainer is highly experienced in the subject and was able to give life context to the materials being taught as he is actively doing Agile projects. He ensured all participants had a good understanding of the subject and was clear and articulate. The course was well structured and logical.

Experienced and knowledgeable instructors. Good pace of classes that enables discussion among participants. Course design tailored to the needs of participants. Good facility and location.

​Great course and trainer. Covered a good range of topics and made it very interactive with lots of discussion. Really made you think and question existing business practices.

​The trainer had excellent knowledge of the course. He was easy to listen to and understand. I liked the real-life examples. The pace of the course was just right and I enjoyed the training content and material. I really felt like I learned a lot.

Dan and Jake had designed an agenda that flowed well, was interesting, interactive and illustrated clearly the tools and tips they were teaching us. I've learnt many techniques to make meetings interesting, get maximum benefit from a meeting and engage different personality types.

Fabulous presenter! Learnt so much. Well backed up by co-presenters. Assistants were a huge help. Great venue.

Joe Kearns is an amazing teacher and facilitator. I recommend Assurity Education to anyone that wants to get the most out of their employees and to build high-performing teams.

Amazing course! Can start from any skill level. Presented perfectly. Great interaction.

A very well run course with real value to take away from it. Lots of depth on the subject.

I have now been through 2 Scrum courses with Assurity and each has been well-constructed and extremely worthwhile. The instructors certainly know their stuff – and not because they've studied it, but because they've been there and done that.

The presenter demonstrated a deep level of knowledge that comes from actual in the field experience. It's not just theory but lessons learned from experience on real projects of a reasonable size.

Great, passionate facilitators singing from my hymn sheet!

Great course with material that was tailored to suit the audience. Good number of attendees who all had similar backgrounds so could have relevant discussions about Agile in their workplace. I received a great deal of value from attending the course.

The event was well organised. I really appreciate the effort made to meet my dietary requirements. I found the course facilitator excellent and relevant to what I wanted to get out of the course. Thanks heaps!

I DID recommend Assurity Education to my managers. I received my PSPO training (from Edwin) and certification while working at another company and I was delighted with the way Edwin coached/helped us. He did a great job. So when my manager asked me for advice, I was crystal clear – we need training and Assurity is the team to go to.

The course content was great, the location convenient and the services were top class.
