PSPO
Very informative, hands-on learning; course was extremely applicable to me as a product owner. Would prefer to have the course be a multi-week, one day a week course to allow myself to put learnings into practice instead of a brain dump where some concepts may be lost in the future. Would also like more info on how to become certified, and market data on what the best orgs are to be certified through. Overall great course, would highly recommend.

Thank you for your feedback on the PSPO class Alex. We wish we could break the course over multiple weeks, however when we have tried that people end up dropping because work/life get in the way making it very difficult. People have vacations scheduled, work projects come up, etc. while committing 2 days in a row become much easier. That said it will never be ruled out as something we experiment with in the future either. As for market data, that is freely available in many places including the Scrum.org website and the class time is more focused on learning, not promoting certifications and job opportunities. The course includes a free attempt at the Scrum.org Professional Scrum Product Owner I (PSPO I) certification which is held by more than 58,000 Product Owners around the world and over 334,000 hold Scrum.org certifications overall.
