What happens after I complete a SAFe Training Course?

Completing an official Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) training course is an important milestone in your professional development. But what comes next? This article explains the steps after training, including access to resources, exam preparation, certification management, and benefits during your subscription period.

1. Access to Scaled Agile Resources for Exam Preparation

After completing your course, you will receive an email from Scaled Agile, Inc. granting access to the SAFe Community Platform. This platform is your hub for:

  • Exam Preparation Materials

    • Study Guides: Detailed outlines of exam topics and recommended reading.
    • Practice Tests: Simulated exams to help you gauge readiness.
    • Additional Resources: Articles, videos, and FAQs to reinforce learning.
  • Community Access

    • Engage with other SAFe practitioners.
    • Participate in forums and discussions to deepen understanding.

Your access is tied to the licensing fees included in your course registration, so there is no additional cost for these resources.


2. How to Take the Certification Exam

  • Exam Invitation: Within 24–48 hours of course completion, you’ll receive an email with instructions to log in to the SAFe Community Platform and access your exam.
  • Exam Details:
    • Format: Multiple-choice, timed.
    • Delivery: Online, open-book (you may reference course materials).
    • Deadline: You typically have 30 days from course completion to take the exam.
  • Passing Score: Varies by certification (e.g., SAFe Agilist requires 77%).

If you do not pass on the first attempt, Scaled Agile offers retake options for an additional fee.


3. Certification Delivery and Management

Once you pass the exam:

  • Digital Certificate: Delivered via email and available in your SAFe Community profile.
  • Digital Badge: Shareable on LinkedIn and other professional platforms.
  • Verification: Employers can verify your certification through Scaled Agile’s credentialing system.

Your certification remains active as long as you maintain your annual membership.


4. Benefits During Your Subscription Period
