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® for Architects (ARCH).
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.
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.

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