The one-liner

A paid Skool programme turning teachers and career changers into Agile and project professionals in 30 days.

What they actually sell

ScrumBuddies, run by Duane Hill, lives on Skool. Its public pitch: "In 30 days, turn your experience into a clear Agile career direction, a stronger professional profile, and practical proof of your skills." Membership costs $20 a month. Duane Hill teaches members to translate their background into professional language, strengthen their CV and LinkedIn, prepare for interviews, build Agile and project skills and gain confidence with tools like Jira. The offer includes career guidance, networking and interview support, Scrum and workflow resources, real-world scenarios and templates, and live calls with accountability. The core message is that you are building on skills you already have. Inside sit 5 courses. A formal money-back promise is not spelled out on the about page.

Who pays and why

Educators, career changers and aspiring Scrum Masters who want to move into project or Agile work. The worry is feeling like they are starting over with nothing relevant to show. They pay for career transition guidance, CV and LinkedIn help, Agile resources and live calls.

Where the members come from

Duane Hill's YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and X presence appears to feed the room. The Skool community reads as the member back end for people already drawn to that work. Exact follower counts stay off the public page.

What's holding it back

A 30-day promise sets a finish line. After the transition, members need a fresh reason to keep paying each month.

Steal this

Tell career changers they are not starting over, then show them how to rename the skills they already have.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for other career switches such as teaching into UX or nursing into health tech. Weak for entry-level roles with no prior experience to translate.
