The pacing, the frequent breaks, exercises, and clear explanation. If i were to do PSM 2 I would want the same trainer.

Paul was a fantastic trainer. I enjoyed his style of teaching and delivery pace

Course - Professional Scrum Master II | PSM II (Scrum.org accredited training course)
My course only had a few other people in it, this meant Ravi could be very attentive with us, he could take his time to explain things and could gauge our knowledge of different subjects of the course and pay attention to our weak points. Ravi was good fun and enthusiastic and I enjoyed the 2 days with him.

I liked the break outs and the chance to work with my peers taking the course. I also liked the small group we had although I understand this is not the norm
