About this course

The SAFe® Programme Consultant (SPC) certification is the most prestigious and impactful credential in the Scaled Agile ecosystem. SPCs are the change agents who drive enterprise Agile transformation — they launch Agile Release Trains, coach executives, train teams, and certify others in SAFe. This intensive 4-day course covers the complete SAFe framework in depth: Lean-Agile leadership, team and technical agility, Agile product delivery, enterprise solution delivery, Lean portfolio management, and organisational agility. You'll learn how to implement SAFe across an enterprise, facilitate key events, and measure transformation progress. Upon certification, you'll be authorised to teach SAFe courses (Leading SAFe, SAFe Scrum Master, SAFe POPM, SAFe for Teams) and certify others — making SPC one of the most valuable certifications for Agile consultants, coaches, and transformation leaders. CertScope's SPC training includes the certification exam, 1-year SAFe Community membership, and access to the SAFe courseware library for teaching.
