Loved by 52,000+ professionals

The training covered all the topics that I needed to clear the certification. On top of that, the trainer was able to give us several real world examples and exam tips that made it easier to prepare for the exam. The trainer even helped out after the training on any doubts. Much recommended.

How to upgrade to AI-Native SAFe®

Your active SAFe® certifications each qualify for the AI-Native SAFe® upgrade, which Scaled Agile includes at no extra cost. Once you pass your SPC exam, here is exactly what to do.

AI-Native SAFe Upgrade badgeAI-Native SAFe SPC badge
Sample Certified AI-Native SAFe SPC certificate
Here is a sample Certified AI-Native SAFe® SPC certificate after the upgrade. Yours will show your name and certificate ID.
  1. 01

    Pass your SPC exam

    Your SAFe® certification has to be active, and you need SAFe® Studio access. Your class includes a year of SAFe® Studio, so you are covered.

  2. 02

    Open the upgrade page

    Go to the AI-Native SAFe® upgrade page on the Scaled Agile Community and sign in with your SAFe® Studio account.

  3. 03

    Click Upgrade Now

    This starts your AI-Native SAFe® learning plan.

  4. 04

    Work through the learning plan

    About 3.5 hours on the expert path: AI-Native Ready (1 hour), the AI-Native SAFe® Overview (90 minutes) and Adopting AI-Native SAFe® (1 hour). Visit every page in each lesson. You can spread it over several sessions.

  5. 05

    Pass the final quiz

    It is short and open book, with no timer. Take it as many times as you need.

  6. 06

    Get your upgrade

    You receive the AI-Native SAFe® Upgrade badge and your certification becomes AI-Native SAFe®. The expiry date stays the same.

Your AI-Native SAFe® certification comes with a Credly badge. Accept it from the Credly email, then click Share and choose LinkedIn. The post links back to Credly, so anyone can check that it is real.

Good to know

  • As an SPC you get the expert path. It upgrades every active SAFe® certification you hold. It does not upgrade trainer enablements. To teach AI-Native SAFe® courses, you complete the AI-Native SAFe® trainer enablement for each course.
  • You keep your current SAFe® certifications.
  • The upgrade is optional. Scaled Agile still supports SAFe® without AI-Native.
  • SAFe® certifications you earn after upgrading are covered too.
  • If your certification has expired, renew it first. Then upgrade.
  • The badge arrives through Credly. If it does not show up, open SAFe® Studio, go to My Settings, then Preferences, and check that digital badges are turned on.
  • Plan not showing as complete? Check that every lesson page has a check mark and that you passed the final quiz. Then go back to the SAFe® Studio home page and open the learning plan again.
