"I followed the ScrumMaster training to take up the Scrum Master-role in my team. This training was not only an excellent preparation for the exam but also a source of inspiration. Joke’s passion for Scrum was contagious, turning the training into an inspiring 2 days, rather than just a certification course. She trained us on the scrum principles with a variety of teaching methods and insightful examples from her own experiences, this made the sessions both interesting and engaging. Beyond the theoretical content, the training prompted me to question and reevaluate certain habits within my organization. Moreover, Joke was open to questions from our context, providing valuable insights. I recommend this training to anyone seeking a comprehensive and motivating introduction to the role of Scrum Master."
