This helped me successfully pass the AgilePM Foundation and Practitioner exams and gave me the confidence to pursue future career transition and enhance my credibility.

Olamide Yussuf

Alistair was brilliant and explained all the concepts clearly. He ensured everything was well understood and made the sessions enjoyable with his teaching style. It helped me understand Agile and Scrum concepts and gave me confidence to apply them in my workplace and prepare for the exams.

Sophie Sparrow

The training was well structured and the trainer was extremely knowledgeable. He maintained a perfect combination of active participation and learning, which kept the sessions engaging. I would recommend The Knowledge Academy for its high-quality training.

EmmaFox

Alistair was the best instructor I've had in a very long time. He explained everything so clearly and made the sessions engaging. I had an enjoyable week learning with him and would definitely like to have him as a trainer for other courses as well.

Tyla Jones

If I could rate Cat more than 10 I would! Cat is an engaging and understanding trainer, she really understands the framework which enables her to deliver it well to the group. Cat encourages an open and honest environment and supports wider team building well. I would be keen to sit a course ran by Cat again. Cat clearly cares about the standard and quality she teaches to groups and will go above and beyond to ensure learners understand tasks and information given to them. I have enjoyed the week and have really understood the agile requirements not only for the exams themselves, but how to embed these in wider work which I would not have had the same experience with just e-learning.

Tina Murray

very engaging patient knowledgeable

Greg Payne

Alistair is an engaging and enthusiatic trainer. He used repetition and creativity to help us learn and was a lot of fun too!
