Derek knows his stuff
Derek knows his stuff. He's a tough demanding coach, that really helps you learn the subject matter.

It's a pleasure to work with you, Jay!
First class trainer
I have known Derek for many years and always enjoyed working with him.
Derek is an experienced professional with deep knowledge of Scrum as well as the broader subject of Agile ways of working. Derek is an excellent trainer on account of the fact that he is able to draw on his work across many industries to complement his explanation of the theory. This combines to make the theory relevant whilst bringing the subject to life.
I can recommend Derek’s classes without reservation.

The training days provided by Derek were simply great. Concise, to the point and relating real life examples to the theory. After the training I got certified in PSM and PAL

I'm delighted that you managed to get TWO certifications Karl. Congratulations
Agile thought-provoking courses
I had the opportunity to attend several courses run by Derek in London and I found them all very thought-provoking.
I enjoyed Derek teaching style and his very curious Agile mindset. I also followed some of his key suggestions (p.s. you need to attend the course to know them!)
Briefly, I will definitely recommend Derek as a professor to whoever wants to start the Agile journey.

Thank you, Antonio. I love how, in your review, you've left a little diamond for people to find for themselves :)
Fully recommend for all levels
I've had the pleasure of Derek running training for myself and my teams in a number of roles and I continue to return to him as a coach and trainer.
Derek has a fun and engaging approach that works for many. He's supported me with teams very new to Agile, those who need refreshers and re-baselining as well as teams who have been working with Agile principles for a long time and looking to take their performance to the next level.
Personally Derek has always made time for me when I need to talk things through or seek advise. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him and his training
Look forward to working with Derek again in the future

It's always a pleasure to work with you and like you, I look forward to doing so again in the future.
Nothing But praise
I was invited to take part in a bespoke and tailored course that focused on how Scrum can help audit teams. As a fellow Agile practitioner I took away so much from this course. Derek is a talented trainer/facilitator who knows how to ask the right questions at the perfect time. I would happily recommend Derek and Turbo Scrum for your training needs.

Thanks, Jac. I'm always delighted when I see one of my students grow in their chosen career and that's exactly what I see with you. I shall remain watching as your career progresses and hope to see you again sometime soon.
Great resource for Scrum training
I recently came across the "Introduction to Professional Scrum" path on Pluralsight. I didn’t realize it until I really started studying for the Professional Scrum Master 1 (PSM 1) certification exam just how well this course prepared me. Derek explains the roles, events, and artifacts in a way that someone with no experience in scrum can quickly understand the framework and see the benefits of its implementation. This was a great course that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for more information on the benefits of Scrum.

Certified Scrum Master course with Derek Davidson.
The course was online using Zoom and MURAL (white board application) and it worked extremely well.
The material was really good with lots of group exercises to help understand aspects of the Scrum framework.
Derek made the course flexible as he welcomed questions all the way through. I was able to ask questions relevant to some situations I am facing at work too.
I personally liked the way this normally 2 full day course was run across 4 mornings which allowed time to think over what was covered during the morning session.
I would recommend Derek and the Certified Scrum Master course to anyone who is aspiring on becoming a Scrum master or simply wanting to know more about the Scrum master role in general.
I was a bit hesitant in joining an online course initially but Derek makes everybody feels welcomed and is an excellent trainer with lots of experience on how to do Scrum in the real world.
