Advanced SPC (ASPC)
The Advanced SAFe Practice Consultant credential for experienced change agents leading the largest, most complex transformations.
SPC
The core change-agent certification — authorizes you to train, coach, and launch an Agile Release Train, and teach the core SAFe courses.
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
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.
