More than a training, It's an EXPERIENCE!
Liz is great. I really enjoyed her class. The course is super engaging; the process of unlearning was really drilled into me, and I appreciate it. Weekend classes are wonderful, as I am unable to do so during the weekdays. I took the exam after class and passed it like a champ with no issues. Hoping to go towards the next certs soon once I meet the experience requirements!
Highly recommend Liz's Kanban class!
Liz is a great teacher who took the time to make sure we all understood the material. She created engaging, interactive exercises to help us learn; we did not have to sit there listening to a lecture.
When I read the class description, I instinctively felt this would be a good workshop and I'm happy to say that my instincts were spot on!
Exceptional instructor! Kim Brainard's technical guidance in the course was top-notch. Her teaching style made the learning process enjoyable and crucial to my success. Coming from a background in formal instruction, I can confidently say she stands out as one of the best. She adapts to every student’s learning style. She is gifted. The goat!! Highly recommend her for anyone seeking a comprehensive and enjoyable learning experience.
Having Kim as my CSM trainer was one of of the BEST experiences I have ever had. She is so patient with her teaching. She allows you time to understand the content and the process of the content before she moves on. She holds you accountable and keeps you engaged in the learning process. If you’re looking for someone to teach you, and you are able to understand and retain the information, Kimberly Brainard is your person!
