Qualification
​Formally, I have obtained two Master degrees from Riga Technical University (2003; 2013). Although 'Technical' the 2nd degree is with emphasis on business side of things, namely Business Informatics program.
​​
As from my Story, 2013 was a turning point for me where my learning journey obtained a new speed. I started learning and practicing Scrum, Facilitation, then Kanban and Coaching. Along the way obtained some certifications as well (see all of them on this page).
​
Since 2018, I was actively learning according to the Certified Agile Coach resources from Scrum Alliance. In 2019 I started attending an international mentoring group for Agile Coaches. In December 2020 became a CTC Candidate. In January 2020 I joined CTC Candidates international mentoring group. And became the 1st Certified Agile Coach (Certified Team Coach - CTC) from Scrum Alliance in Latvia and Baltics (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia) and the 3rd in the Eastern part of Europe on June 21st, 2021.
This whole journey from 2018 till 2021 was like obtaining another Master's degree and was very deep, real-world experience validation inclusive reflective learning experience compared to the more formal university type of Master's degrees.
Then later an addition to my learning portfolio and innovation for businesses is Certified Business Resilience Practitioner (CBRP) that was obtained in May 2023 in partnership with https://www.dmagilecoaching.com/.
​
The very last one is Agile Coaching Certified Facilitator course which gave the CAF (Certified Agile Facilitator) designation in October 2023.
