Course Overview
The SAFe Practice Consultant (SPC) is the advanced credential for the people who lead a SAFe implementation from the inside - internal change leaders, agile coaches and consultants. Crucially, an SPC is also qualified to teach most SAFe courses and certify learners, which is why SPCs are the trainers behind SAFe Agilist, SSM, POPM and other courses. Becoming an SPC means attending "Implementing SAFe", a four-day course delivered by Scaled Agile's most senior trainers, and passing the SPC exam (currently 60 questions in 120 minutes). Unlike the other SAFe courses, Implementing SAFe is delivered by Scaled Agile directly rather than by partners. SPC is not a beginner certification. Scaled Agile recommends significant experience - a strong grasp of Lean-Agile principles, and a background in consulting, project management, product leadership or portfolio management. Attending Leading SAFe (SAFe Agilist) first is commonly recommended. At Hanux Learning, our own trainers are SPCs, which is what allows us to deliver the SAFe role courses. On this page we explain what SPC is and how to become one; if you or your organisation want to build SAFe capability, talk to us and we will guide you.

Benefits
SPC is the most powerful SAFe credential. It is the difference between practising SAFe and enabling it: an SPC can lead a full transformation, launch Agile Release Trains, and - uniquely - train and certify others in SAFe. For consultants and internal change leaders, it is a career- defining credential; for organisations, it is what makes running SAFe training in-house possible.
