Private & onsite only · Taught by Scott Dunn, Certified Scrum Trainer · Not a Scrum Alliance certification — earns SEUs & PDUs
Private training
We aren't running public Training from the Back of the Room sessions right now. Every session is private, built around your trainers, your material, and your format.
Either way works. Email a bit of context — including your group size and what's prompting the conversation — and we'll follow up with a plan, or skip straight to 30 minutes with Scott to talk through your trainers and material.
What you'll learn
These Accelerated Learning principles pair naturally with Agile and Scrum's collaborative, learner-driven mindset — you'll leave able to apply them to any training topic immediately.
Apply current brain research to any training you deliver, regardless of topic, group size, or learner level.
A brain-based, four-step design model — used by hundreds of Agile coaches and Scrum trainers — you can apply to your own content.
Increase attention, retention, and engagement with activities that involve the whole brain, not just the ears.
Dozens of activities for any instructional format — classroom, e-learning, one-on-one, small or large group.
Practice the 4Cs map directly on the content you already teach, so you leave with something usable, not just theory.
For Scrum trainers and Agile coaches: combine Agile/Scrum concepts with collaborative, brain-based learner engagement.
Who it's for
If part of your job is helping other people learn something, this workshop changes how you design and deliver it.
Bring collaborative, brain-based design to certification classes and workshops.
Design workshops and coaching sessions people actually retain, not just sit through.
A field-tested design model grounded in cognitive neuroscience, not trends.

No prerequisites. This workshop is for anyone who trains, teaches, or coaches — familiarity with Agile helps you place some of the examples, but the model applies to any subject.

Your trainer
Founder, Rocket Nine Solutions · Certified Scrum Trainer
Scott has spent two decades training and coaching Agile teams and leaders, which means he's spent just as long thinking about what actually makes training stick. He brings that lens to Training from the BACK of the Room — applying its brain-based design model to the same certification classes and workshops he's delivered thousands of times, so you leave with techniques he uses himself, not just theory.
Questions
No. Training from the BACK of the Room isn't a Scrum Alliance credential — it's an independent train-the-trainer program. You'll receive a certificate of completion, and the 16 contact hours count toward 16 SEUs and 16 PDUs for renewing your existing certifications.
We run this one exclusively for individual organizations. It lets us tailor the activities and examples to the kind of training your team actually delivers, rather than a generic mixed audience.
Two full days, 16 hours total. You'll work through the six learning principles and the 4Cs design model, practicing directly on your own training content so you leave with something you can use immediately.
No prerequisites. The model applies to any subject or format — classroom, virtual, one-on-one, or large group. Agile familiarity just helps you place a few of the examples.
Yes — we can deliver this onsite or as a private live-virtual session. Let us know your preference on the call and we'll plan accordingly.
Schedule a 30-minute call with Scott, or email hello@rocketninesolutions.com with your group size and preferred dates, and we'll put together a plan.
