About this course

The SAFe® Scrum Master (SSM) certification training prepares you to fulfil the role of a Scrum Master in a SAFe® enterprise. While traditional Scrum Master training focuses on team-level Scrum, this course teaches you how to operate within the Scaled Agile Framework — including facilitating Agile Release Train (ART) events, coaching teams on SAFe practices, and removing impediments at both team and programme levels. You'll learn how to plan and execute iterations, facilitate PI Planning, participate in Scrum of Scrums, and support the Release Train Engineer (RTE). Through practical exercises and real-world scenarios, you'll gain the skills to help your team deliver value continuously in a scaled Agile environment. Upon completing the course, you'll be prepared to take the SAFe® Scrum Master (SSM) certification exam and earn a credential recognised by enterprises worldwide. CertScope is an authorised SAFe training partner — your exam fee and 1-year SAFe Community membership are included.
