We offer a variety of Scrum Training courses (including assessments and certifications), as well as focused workshops on various agile topics, facilitated events, and team building exercises. These are all held as private events for your organization, at your location or virtually via Zoom & Mural. 

All 2-day training courses are priced the same: $18,500 all-inclusive flat rate. Class sizes from 6 to 24 people are preferred, though I regularly facilitate groups up to 50. This includes the courseware, license fees, travel, my fee, and two attempts at the assessment and certification through Scrum.org.  All you have to provide is a suitable classroom with a projector and common office supplies (pens, post-its, whiteboard, flip-charts). For virtual classes, I provide all the infrastructure (students must be able to access Zoom and Mural).

Invoices are sent upon scheduling the class, and there are options for paying via credit card. For courses outside the US, please contact me.
