SAFe Certification Path
SAFe offers a complete certification system for teams, leaders and specialists who work in agile enterprises. The program helps you understand, apply and lead the Scaled Agile Framework in real projects.
1. SAFe Foundation-Level Entry
Most learners start with a team-level or introductory certificate, such as SAFe Practitioner (SP) or Leading SAFe (SA).
Here you learn the core principles of Lean-Agile, how Agile Release Trains work and how teams plan, deliver and improve value at scale.
After your course, you take the exam and receive your first SAFe certificate, which opens the door to role-based specialisations.
2. Role-Based SAFe Certifications
With your foundation knowledge, you choose the certification that matches your role. SAFe offers paths for:
Scrum Masters (SSM, SASM)
Product Owners & Product Managers (POPM)
Architects (ARCH)
DevOps & Continuous Delivery (SDP)
Lean Portfolio Management (LPM)
Agile Software Engineering (ASE)
Agile Teams (SP)
Each role-based certification includes a focused training course and an online exam.
3. Applying SAFe in the Enterprise
After certification, you can contribute to agile transformation across teams, programs and portfolios.
You also receive one year of access to the SAFe community platform, which supports ongoing learning and development.
