AgileScotland: Edinburgh ScrumMaster Training & Two free events.

Derek from Skillsmatter.com (a London based training company which occassionally runs courses here in Scotland) asked me to tell you all about a training course they're running in Edinburgh later year, as well as two free agile evening "events".  The course and events are all  presented by Martine Devos. I don't know Martine but I've just looked at skillsmatter's London based course list and she keeps very respectable company.

Here's a link to the two day scrum-master course:  http://skillsmatter.com/course/agile-scrum/martine-devos-scrum-master .  

It's too late for the "early bird" discount but if you look at this message from Leigh Mullen to the AgileScotland yahoo group , you'll find promo codes for a 10% discount (worth £100) or a £75 amazon voucher.  Alternatively, if you email me, then I'll give you the extra-special promo code which Derek kindly gave me specifically for AgileScotland folk - it gives you a 15% discount.  

Here are links to more information and free registration for the two events:
