SAFe® Gold Partner education

Advanced SPC (ASPC)

The Advanced SAFe Practice Consultant credential for experienced change agents leading the largest, most complex transformations.

Foundation

SPC

The core change-agent certification — authorizes you to train, coach, and launch an Agile Release Train, and teach the core SAFe courses.

Advanced

ASPC

Builds on SPC for those already doing the work — leading change across many trains and value streams, large-solution and portfolio complexity, and coaching other change agents.

Who it’s for

ASPC is aimed at practicing SPCs with real implementation experience — internal transformation leads, Lean-Agile Center of Excellence members, and consultants who have already launched trains and now guide enterprise-wide change. It is not an entry point; the value comes from deepening capability you’ve already started using in the field.

What it focuses on

Large-scale transformation

Leading change across many ARTs and value streams — and overcoming the organizational resistance that stalls it.

Solution & portfolio scale

Applying SAFe where coordination and funding are the hard problems, not just team delivery.

Advanced coaching

Growing other SPCs and change agents — multiplying capability, not just coaching teams.

AI-enabled ways of working

Modern, AI-augmented delivery as it reshapes how value streams operate.
