What learners say about our SAFe® Agile Software Engineering (ASE) training

Easily the most practical ASE training I’ve taken. The instructor brought real enterprise experience and the toolkits were immediately useful back at work. Passed the exam first attempt.

Marcus L. · Tech Lead, Accenture

Clear, hands-on, and well paced. I left with a credential and a concrete plan to apply ASE in my organisation. Highly recommended.

Sara K. · Staff Engineer, TD Bank

Frequently asked questions

Click any question to expand the answer.

Do I need any prerequisites?

No hard prerequisites. Once you register you gain access to online prep material (about 90 minutes) to review before class, so you arrive ready for SAFe® Agile Software Engineering (ASE).

What’s included in the course?

The course, the official exam, one year of SAFe Studio, the digital workbook, our Fast-Pass study kit, recordings for life, and a 1:1 career-coaching session. No hidden fees.

Is the course available in-person or remote?

Both. You can join live in-person or live-virtual (remote) — every cohort is instructor-led by an authorised SAFe instructor (SPC/ASPC), and you keep the session recordings.

What are the exam details and passing score?

45 multiple-choice, 90 minutes, passing score 73%. Your first attempt is included. Taken online with a 60 days after class window.

Can I get certified without passing the exam?

No. Completing the course unlocks the exam, and you must pass it to earn the certification.

Can I take the exam without attending the course?

Generally no. For almost all SAFe certifications, attending the official course is required to unlock the exam in SAFe Studio.

How long is the certification valid, and how much is renewal?

SAFe certifications are valid for one year, renewed through annual SAFe Studio membership.

What’s the retake policy?

Your first retake can be taken soon after a failed attempt; subsequent retakes require a short waiting period and a fee.

What will I be able to do after ASE?

You’ll be equipped to apply SAFe® Agile Software Engineering (ASE) in a real SAFe environment — writing better tests, shipping faster, and growing the continuous delivery pipeline.

Where can ASE take my career?

It supports roles such as Software Engineer, Senior Engineer, Tech Lead, Staff / Principal Engineer, and is a stepping stone to advanced and consultant SAFe credentials.

Does the course include AI concepts now?

Yes. The updated curriculum incorporates AI-driven ways of working — using modern AI tools to accelerate value delivery and optimise flow.

What does it mean that SAFe is “AI-empowered”?

AI-empowered SAFe means applying role-based AI assistants and prompting to move faster while keeping humans in the loop for decisions. You’ll learn where AI accelerates the flow of value and how to use it responsibly.

Is this an AI-Native way of working?

Yes. We teach an AI-Native mindset — embedding AI across the end-to-end flow from idea to deployment, augmenting Lean-Agile decision-making rather than replacing it, with the right guardrails.

What is the impact of SAFe 6.0?

SAFe 6.0 shifts focus toward total Business Agility — accelerating value flow with Kanban and Value Stream Management, clarifying enterprise roles, and integrating modern technologies like AI.

Who teaches the course?

Authorised SAFe instructors (SPC/ASPC) with real transformation experience — not generalist trainers.

How do I get my certificate and badge?

Pass the exam in SAFe Studio and your globally verifiable digital badge is issued by Scaled Agile — shareable to LinkedIn and renewable each year.

Your SAFe Agile Software Engineer credential is within reach.

Join the next cohort. Exam included, money-back pass guarantee, and a career-coaching session.
