The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) is a methodology for applying Lean, Agile, and DevOps practices at an enterprise scale. It helps large organizations coordinate multiple teams and align work with business strategy through systems like Agile Release Trains and Program Increment (PI) Planning. More than 20,000 companies use these standards to manage complex software and hardware development projects.
In our Leading SAFe® Agilist Training , you will get an introduction to the fundamentals of SAFe® and be taught the principles and practices to confidently drive your Lean-Agile transformation. The training also provides the guidance and tools to lead effectively in remote environments with distributed teams. Additionally, you will gain insights into best practices for improving your team's productivity and efficiency.
In the SAFe® Scrum Master training, you will develop a comprehensive understanding of your role as Scrum Master in a company that uses SAFe®. Unlike traditional Scrum Master programs that focus on the team level, this course looks at the role of the entire business environment and teaches you how to plan and execute Program Increments (PIs) successfully.
The SAFe® Product Owner - Product Manager (POPM) seminar covers the tactical responsibilities of these roles in the Agile Release Train. The course also gives you the guidance and tools to work effectively in remote environments with distributed teams.
Strategic alignment to execution is critical to the success of any organization and is an essential aspect of the Scaled Agile Framework®. With the SAFe® Lean Portfolio Management training, you can collaborate across silos, empower teams, and organize the value to achieve rapid customization. A SAFe company can use Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) to align strategy and implementation while maintaining the flow of matter and innovation. As one of the five Lean Enterprise core competencies, the LPM is ideally suited to getting a company on the right track. Deepen your understanding of portfolio management and apply your skills.
This course will provide you with the skills you need to become a valuable team member of an Agile Release Train (ART) and teach you how to effectively collaborate with other teams. Participating in this course will prepare you to take the SAFe 6.0 Practitioner exam and become a certified SAFe® 6.0 Practitioner (SP).
In the SAFe® ARCH training, you will learn how to work with different, overarching functional areas within the Lean-Agile SAFe® company and ensure a common direction. The program prepares solutions, systems, and enterprise architects for their role as cross-departmental managers and changes agents to develop architectural IT solutions collaboratively.
The "Safe DevOps" course teaches professionals to blend DevOps with security practices. Participants will learn to enhance team collaboration, automate deployment processes, and ensure software security and reliability. The training covers essential tools and techniques for efficient and secure operations, ideal for developers, IT staff, and operations teams. Gain the skills to maintain secure systems in a fast-paced tech environment.
In the SAFe® Agile Software Engineering Training, you will learn the basic principles and methods of today's agile software engineering discipline. You will know how the continuous flow of value creation and integrated quality assurance is ensured through modern practices such as Extreme Programming ( XP ) and Behavior and Test-Driven Development ( BDD and TDD ).
Improve your leadership skills and take them to the next level. In the SAFe® Advanced Scrum Master training, you will learn the tools to optimize your coaching and facilitation skills, avoid common mistakes, and implement relentless improvements.

SAFe® Team and Role Based Courses are practitioner-focused certifications for people who apply SAFe day to day on Agile teams and across an Agile Release Train (ART). Options include SAFe Practitioner (SP) / SAFe for Teams, SAFe Scrum Master (SSM), SAFe Advanced Scrum Master (SASM), SAFe Product Owner / Product Manager (POPM), and SAFe DevOps Practitioner (SDP).
These courses differentiate from Leading SAFe by going deeper into role responsibilities, team and ART events (such as iteration events, PI Planning, and Inspect and Adapt), and practical workflows. Most credentials are renewed through SAFe Studio membership, and SSM also requires continuing education units (CEUs) within its renewal cycle.
SAFe Team and Role Based Certifications are practitioner-focused credentials for people who apply the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) in daily work on Agile teams and across an Agile Release Train (ART). These courses are commonly chosen after, or alongside, Leading SAFe (SAFe Agilist) when a role-specific view is needed.
Training and exams vary by credential, but options typically include SAFe Practitioner (SP) / SAFe for Teams, SAFe Scrum Master (SSM), SAFe Advanced Scrum Master (SASM), SAFe Product Owner / Product Manager (POPM), and SAFe DevOps Practitioner (SDP). Compared with Leading SAFe, these courses go deeper into role responsibilities, team execution, and ART coordination, including key events such as PI Planning, iteration planning and reviews, and Inspect and Adapt.
SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) certifications show that you can apply SAFe roles, practices, and principles in a Lean-Agile enterprise. Most SAFe certifications follow the same pattern: take an authorized course delivered by a SAFe Practice Consultant (SPC), prepare using the included study materials, then pass a timed, multiple-choice online exam. Certifications are typically renewed on a recurring basis through SAFe Studio membership.
Many candidates begin with a foundational certification such as SAFe Agilist (SA) from Leading SAFe (often chosen by leaders and change agents) or SAFe Practitioner (SP) from SAFe for Teams (often chosen by team members). These certifications cover SAFe basics, Lean-Agile principles, and how work is planned and delivered through constructs like the Agile Release Train (ART). After the course, you take the certification exam to earn the credential.
After your first certification, you can add role-based credentials that match your day-to-day work. Common options include:
Scrum Masters (SSM, SASM)
Product Owners and Product Managers (POPM)
Architects (ARCH)
DevOps and Continuous Delivery (SDP)
Lean Portfolio Management (LPM)
Agile Software Engineering (ASE)
Agile Teams (SP)
Each credential typically requires completing the related course and passing its exam. Some advanced paths assume prior SAFe experience or a related certification.
After you certify, you apply SAFe in practice, for example participating in PI Planning, supporting ART execution, improving flow, and working across teams and portfolios. To keep credentials active, you renew through SAFe Studio membership. Renewal is generally annual, and some certifications can have extra maintenance requirements (for example, SSM has a CEU requirement). For organizations, a SAFe Enterprise Subscription may renew some certifications automatically, but SPC renewals are handled separately.
Choose an entry certification (often SA or SP) → take the authorized course → pass the online exam → add role-based certifications as needed → renew in SAFe Studio to keep certifications active.
