Are you looking to become a certified SAFe Scrum Master and take your Agile skills to the next level? Look no further than our SAFe Scrum Master course!

Our comprehensive two-day training course will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to excel as a Scrum Master in a SAFe enterprise. Unlike traditional Scrum Master training that focuses solely on team-level Scrum, our course explores the role of the Scrum Master in the context of the entire enterprise. This means you'll be prepared to successfully plan and execute the Planning Interval (PI), which is the primary enabler of alignment throughout all levels of a SAFe organization.

Through our course, you'll learn the key components of Agile at scale development, how Scrum is facilitated, and how to execute Iteration Planning. You'll also discover how to build high-performing Agile teams by becoming a servant leader and coach and how to coach those teams to deliver maximum business value at scale.

Following the overwhelming success of our online SAFe training, we plan to continue to offer public training online to make it accessible to our clients around Australia and across the globe. You can learn about our approach to remote SAFe training here.

Great course! Completed study to the point today where I could start running practice exams, and I am happy to report that I am now certified as a SAFe 5 Scrum Master! So much material in the course that I'm still working through personally and discussing with my colleagues... but the first hurdle is passed. Thanks once again Emma and Claire!

Thank you Adrienne Wilson and Nicholene Africa for delivering an engaging and informative Certified SAFe® 5 Scrum Master course!
And many thanks to the other attendees. As usual, I found that I learn as much from my peers as instructors (a sign of a good instructor/course). It was interesting to see scrum and agile through the SAFe perspective and I look forward to utilizing that knowledge in the near future.

Finally done with my Safe Scrum Master.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to SCALE agile practices over multiple teams or even a whole organisation. It is one of the most mature Agile Frameworks out there. I was very impressed by the resources available Scaled Agile, Inc. website, their articles are some of the most detailed I have come across in all the certifications I have done.

Thanks to Pretty Agile with Claire Sanders, Melissa Hay for their highly innovative training and for sharing their wealth of experience during the course.
