Proof

How the “only” claim is verifiable.

This isn’t marketing shorthand. The face-to-face AI-Native instructor authorization is granted individually per track by Scaled Agile, Inc. — and the public directory is the receipt.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Who is the only certified face-to-face AI-Native instructor in Canada?
Mark Saymen, founder of Agile Agilist, is the only SAFe Practice Consultant Trainer (SPCT) in Canada authorized by Scaled Agile, Inc. to deliver AI-Native certification courses in-person. He is one of 125+ SPCTs worldwide and holds authorization for the full AI-Native track including RAI, AF-CC, AF-VSM, AINCA, and AINORG.
Where are face-to-face AI-Native classes held in Canada?
In-person cohorts run in Toronto and Ottawa, with private on-site delivery available anywhere in Canada for corporate clients. Virtual instructor-led cohorts are also offered for participants outside those regions. All in-person delivery includes hands-on labs with live LLM tooling.
How much does the AI-Native certification cost in Canada?
Each individual AI-Native micro-credential is priced at $495 USD (about $675 CAD) and includes the live class, official Scaled Agile exam, digital badge upon passing, and a Pass Guarantee (retake included). Corporate on-site rates on request.
What is AI-Native and how does it differ from SAFe?
AI-Native is Scaled Agile’s operating model for organizations building with AI as a native capability, not an add-on. It layers on top of SAFe: SAFe defines how you scale agile delivery; AI-Native defines how you scale AI-augmented delivery. Mark authored the framework’s companion body of work (Mutation Readiness).
How do I verify the face-to-face AI-Native instructor authorization?
Verify directly at scaledagile.com’s partner and instructor directory. Search for Mark Saymen or Agile Agilist. Look for the SPCT designation and the AI-Native Instructor authorization badge next to each track. Face-to-face authorization is granted separately from virtual.
