The CSPO class exceeded my expectations. Bernie Maloney is an excellent instructor. The class was interactive and engaging and I learned a ton!

Thank you to Mr. Maloney for creating such a well-structured course that kept everyone engaged and prompted questions among peers. I have gained a lot of key information and left the course feeling confident. Definitely recommend.

Bernie is probably one the best trainers I've interacted with, I took the CSPO and the way is teaches makes it easy to follow specially for someone new to Agile, his teaching style allows collaboration at the same time of providing guidance when needed, you will learn without knowing you are learning!

Bernie Maloney practices collaborative learning by doing. The entire class is a Scrum Workshop, where everyone is working together and practicing Scrum Fundamentals through the lense of a Product Owner. This approach is much more than exposure to ideas and infomation--it really brings to the surface the collective experience of everyone involved. Additionally, the 4-day format gives enough time to process what is being learned, so trainees can ask good questions & receive really helpful & targeted feedback. Class Grade = A+
Beyond Classwork & Certification -> Bernie also makes himself available to his students after class for quick advice/consultation for free & forever! This goes far beyond my expectations. Coach Grade A++

Highly recommend Bernie Maloney! I had a great experience with the Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) course. Bernie was a fantastic instructor who kept the class fun and engaging while delivering a substantial amount of material in a clear, well-structured, and non-overwhelming way. His teaching approach was effective, practical, and easy to follow. Bernie was also very friendly and personable, which made the learning environment even better. I would absolutely take another Agile certification course with him in the future.

Bernie ran a very well organized workshop that seamlessly intertwined various scrum techniques into the learning itself so we were able to experience it firsthand in addition to learning the concepts and then practicing it in small breakout groups. Everything was very well organized and Bernie embodied true agile practitioner as he was constantly asking the class for feedback and incorporating them into the course as we progressed.

3.5 stars. Bernie Maloney's content and teaching style was engaging and his breadth of knowledge about Agile and Scrum impressive. However, the constant self promotion of his own consulting services and YouTube channel really took away from the class for me. At one point, he interrupted a student's question for time purposes but then immediately told us to "like and subscribe."

Bernie Maloney was a great instructor -- engaging, experienced, and entertaining. Truly felt I got my money's worth in his training sessions.

Bernie Maloney is clearly an expert, offering valuable tactics and coaching throughout the course.

I recently completed the CSPO training with Powered by Teams and had a great experience. The course was easy to follow, well-organised and full of useful examples.
Our trainer, Bernie Maloney was outstanding — his deep expertise in Agile and real-world Product Ownership was clearly visible in every session. He encouraged discussion and shared valuable industry insights. Bernie made the sessions engaging and always encouraged questions, which really helped my understanding.

I would highly recommend Bernie Maloney from Powered by Teams to anyone wanting to learn Scrum in a practical and simple way.

So happy I took this course. It was interactive, therefore, it made it very interesting and easy to comprehend

I was truly impressed by this CSPO workshop, it went far beyond expectations and gave me real-world, practical insight into what being a Product Owner really means.

The sessions covered great facilitation techniques, clear communication strategies, and explained the Product Owner role in a way that felt both relatable and actionable. The real-world examples made everything click and showed exactly how to apply these concepts on the job.

Mr. Bernie Maloney was an outstanding tutor, engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate about helping us understand not just the “what,” but the “why” behind agile practices.

I walked away feeling more confident, skilled, and inspired to apply what I’ve learned. Highly recommended to anyone looking to truly understand and excel as a Product Owner!!!

Excellent experience with Powered by Teams! The platform is efficient, user-friendly, and makes collaboration seamless

I really liked the class format — it was easy to follow and very interactive. Bernie is a great instructor who truly wants his students to understand the concepts and succeed. He explains things clearly, gives practical examples, and keeps everyone engaged throughout the session.

best instructor I have ever seen

Bernie’s teaching style was engaging and informative.

I recently completed my CSPO course and it was an outstanding experience. The course itself was well-structured and full of practical insights, but what really made the difference was the instructor. He was top-notch—knowledgeable, dynamic, and engaging from start to finish. Not a single minute felt wasted, and I walked away not just with a certification, but with real confidence in applying what I learned as a Product Owner. Highly recommend! Thank you, Bernie Maloney!!!

Bernie was a great instructor. He gave real world examples/experiences. I like that he did not just teach the test.

Bernie's experience and innovative teaching style made for an engaging course! You learn scrum without even realizing it - next thing you know your applying agile methodologies to areas outside of your professional environment.
