What Our Students Say

"Taking the Certified Scrum Developer course at Fairfield & Co truly revolutionized my professional path. It seamlessly integrated essential theoretical concepts with actionable skills, all under the expert guidance of the energetic Bill Fairfield. For those dedicated to excelling in Scrum and elevating their team's performance, this program is absolutely essential." Software Developer at TeamFlow
​

I really liked how engaging you made the course. The collaboration was even more enjoyable remotely than in person. I never rolled my eyes at any of the activities, they were diverse enough (using different websites/tools) and gave me good ideas to use in our future meetings on my team!
