How will this course help me progress?

The Leading SAFe® course emphasizes the ten foundational Lean-Agile principles of the framework. Building on this, it covers and explores the basics of SAFe. Key elements such as PI Planning and the Agile Release Train are explained.

To round off the course, it provides a comprehensive overview of Agile Product Development, Flow, DevOps, and Lean Portfolio Management.

Once everything with whipped cream on top?
Then this is the course for you.But right from the start: Even though we’ll be balancing between theory and practice, your head will be spinning after two days. However, you will gain a comprehensive insight into the Scaled Agile Framework®.

Prefer a more relaxed approach?

Then we recommend the SAFe® POPM course. Both are excellent for getting started. Regardless of which one you choose, we guarantee that you will be well on your way to leading the agile transformation.

Am I the right person for this course?

The most important thing upfront: YES! Anyone interested in new working methods will benefit.Typically, a wide range of participants enroll in this course—from CEOs to team members. Typical roles include business analysts, agile coaches, portfolio and product managers, as well as Scrum Masters and Product Owners. (Not sure what that means? Don’t worry; we’ll explain all these terms in detail.)

Why choose Nerd Republic?
The Leading SAFe® course is a great entry point into the Scaled Agile Framework, but it is complex. If you’ve never dealt with agility or Scrum before, challenges may arise. We promise to take the time to help you and can explain the same question 20 times if needed. All SAFe® framework courses include mandatory content that must be used across all courses. But here’s the cherry on top: In the Nerd Republic’s online course, you’ll receive many additional materials to facilitate your entry and application of knowledge. What this bonus material looks like will be explained further down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an official SAFe® course?

Yes, it is! We’re an official Silver Partner of Scaled Agile Inc., and this is an authentic course. To be honest, it's even more than that. We believe two days aren’t enough, so we've added extra content to the course to complement the official material. We think it just makes the experience better—and it will definitely help you progress.

How does the exam process work exactly?

After the course, you’ll gain access to the exam. You then have four weeks to take it independently online on the SAI platform. The exam is “closed-book” and follows a multiple/single-choice format. In our bonus material, you’ll find additional information, practice questions, and exam tips to help you prepare.

For how long have you been doing this?

The Earth has been around for a long time, and we hope it stays that way. (Let’s make a change!) Our trainers have been active in the agile world and with SAFe® for several years. We've guided nearly a thousand people through SAFe® courses, healing minor aches and pains and helping move large corporations forward.

Do I receive PDU & SEU?

These abbreviations are familiar to you, and you need points for your PMI or Scrum certification? Good news! By participating in the course, you will earn these points. You can find the exact points here: https://bit.ly/3QUfOBW

Any info on the timings?

Of course! We start at 9:00 AM and finish the day by 5:30 PM at the latest. We always take a one-hour lunch break, with our suggested time for the group from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. There will also be additional, shorter breaks in between.

Is there a discount on your courses?

Potentially yes! - for those in need. Non-profit organizations, socially disadvantaged individuals, and those with hope are welcome to contact us. We will find solutions. Everyone else can benefit from early bird prices and group discounts.

What system requirements do I need for the remote course?

In this remote course, we use Microsoft Teams for calls and Miro for our digital collaboration. You can find the system requirements for MS Teams here and the requirements for Miro here. Please ensure that your system meets these requirements.

What hotel should I book?

In the Academy course, we have provided some hotel recommendations. Our training location is always dependent on availability and group size, but all options are close to each other. So, you won't have to travel all over the city at once.

How does catering work?

On both training days, we will provide you with light snacks. Additionally, lunch is on us. There will also be plenty of tea and coffee available, as well as sparkling and still water (the Germans' favorite!). In the remote course, these arrangements will be your responsibility.

Is the course delivery guaranteed?

We always operate under the assumption that we will go ahead with the course. We will inform you at least ten days before the course starts. Of course, unforeseen circumstances can arise on your end as well. If you have booked a course and something comes up, we can simply move you to the next one. Just let us know as soon as possible.

SAFe certification without course?

We often get asked if it's possible to obtain a SAFe certification without taking a course. Unfortunately, it’s not. Unlike Scrum.org, where you can choose to take a course or simply purchase an exam voucher and self-study, SAFe requires registration in a course offered by a SAFe provider to access the exam system. The good news is that the exam fees for your first attempt are included, so you won’t need to book the exam separately as you would with other frameworks.
