Our Learners Love Us

Preeti Bhatiya Project Manager

Recently attended the Scrum Master course. The instructor demonstrated profound knowledge of Agile methodologies and Scrum in particular. Comprehensive course materials, including slides, workbooks, and supplementary readings, have become invaluable resources that I frequently reference in my daily role.

Ritesh Jain Project Mangaer

This is an amazing training ecosystem. They had assigned individual relationship managers who not only did the tactical things of reminding of sessions etc, but they also connected me with people who were experts for career guidance. This is the best example of customer delight - you not just engage clients but delight them! Highly recommended for Agile related courses.

Kshitij M Team Lead

I did a PSM-1course from One iTech and it was truly an enriching experience. The trainer was very good and has full expertise on the subject. He was quite interactive and engaging, always ensured everyone understood the concepts and fundamentals of Scrum Agile. He kept revising and recapping all important concepts throughout the session during these two days.

Sakshi Jha AI Developer

One iTech is very professional in handling entire process. They make sure all the support is provided during training and afterwards. I have done 2 courses with them and both times it was a great experience. The workshop was a well-organized event. The trainer was an expert which made it a valuable training.
