Why we created the Agile Success Academy
There has never been a greater need for high-quality Agile and Scrum training. Over the past decade, our trainers have helped over 7000 students develop their careers with in-person and live online Scrum and Agile training courses.
However, we understand there are challenges to learning in this way. It can be difficult to take whole days out of your work or personal schedule, live training can be expensive, and you may find it challenging to retain the information.
That's why we created the Agile Success Academy, an online learning hub with an ever-growing suite of training courses and resources, exclusive monthly mentoring calls with John and Karim and a Facebook community to connect with like-minded people.
Our on-demand courses have been designed from the ground up for self-paced study, allowing you to learn at your own pace, in your own time, from anywhere. Find out some of the key benefits of joining the Agile Success Academy:
Cost
The investment in effective training is too expensive for many. Attending multiple courses can soon cost thousands of dollars. Academy membership enables you to access a range of high-quality training at a low monthly cost.
Convenience
Co-ordinating diaries to get multiple busy people together in a room for 1-2 days can be difficult. With the flexibility of the Agile Success Academy, you can learn at your own pace, in your own time, from wherever you are.
Range
Only so many topics can be covered in a 1- or 2-day course. Through our ever-growing suite of e-learning courses and monthly masterclasses, you can access an expansive library of topics, allowing you to go deep into what interests you the most.
Retention
Research shows that people forget up to 75% of the information covered in training after six days. Academy membership ensures you'll get continuous access to the learning material to reinforce your learning over time.
Support
Many find applying what they learn in a course in their context challenging. Through the monthly mentoring sessions and community, you'll get ongoing support and access to experienced coaches who can point you in the right direction.
All included courses
As an Agile Success Academy member, you'll get continuous access to our ever-growing range of e-learning courses. Check out the self-paced courses included below.
