Advanced SAFe Practice Consultant ASPC Certification Training

Become an Advanced SAFe Practice Consultant and lead at executive and portfolio level across enterprise SAFe implementations.

Built for experienced SPCs who are already running ARTs and need to work at the next level. The course is structured around five responsibility areas: engaging executives, developing a transformation strategy, unlocking portfolio flow, customising SAFe, and embracing AI.

Over four days, you will apply these disciplines in a practical Learning Lab that simulates enterprise transformation conditions.

Complete the four days and you are eligible to sit the ASPC certification assessment.

Delivered by a SAFe Fellow, SPCT, and Certified AI-Native Trainer.


Prerequisite: Active SPC Certification

An active SAFe Practice Consultant (SPC) certification is required to enrol. Scaled Agile's system blocks enrolment if your SPC has expired.

If your SPC has lapsed, you'll need to renew it before booking. Note: Enrolling in ASPC does not renew your SPC. See Scaled Agile's ASPC policy.

If your SPC renewal is coming up, ASPC may be the smarter move. Once you pass the exam, all your SAFe certifications align to the ASPC expiry date, and the annual ASPC renewal covers them all going forward, including your SPC. Your SPC must still be active when you sit the exam, so factor in the 30-day exam window if your renewal is close.

What Our Clients Say

Testimonial photo
Quentin Christie Associate Director Strategic Programmes, University of Auckland

I was recently asked by someone why I would attend Advanced SPC, as it was 'just another SAFe course'. It's not. ASPC is a game-changer for leading change and transformation for strategic business agility. I am already applying what I've learned to help advance the agenda at the University of Auckland for the evolution of the Enterprise strategic portfolio. Thank you, Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson, for leading the course and making the learning so relevant."

Thank you, Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson, for being such great facilitators over the four days of training. I was able to put my AI action plan into action from day one. I learned so much — not just in the content and how to customise at a system level, but also how to integrate AI into our ways of working and move to the next level with value in mind.
