What SAFe SSM covers
SAFe Scrum Master certifies the ability to serve an Agile Team within a SAFe enterprise: facilitating the team events, supporting PI Planning and the Agile Release Train, coordinating with other teams, applying Lean-Agile principles and the SAFe implementation roadmap, and improving flow across the train rather than only within one team.
Who it is for
Scrum Masters and team leads in organisations that have adopted SAFe, and anyone joining an Agile Release Train.
Before you book
Attending the official SAFe Scrum Master course is required to sit the exam. Scrum experience is assumed.
How to prepare for SAFe SSM

Cover every SAFe SSM topic with lessons and a knowledge check at the end of each module.
- 02Practise topic by topic
Drill the areas you get wrong rather than re-reading what you already know.
- 03Sit a timed mock exam
45 questions in 90 minutes, scored at 73%. Time pressure is the part most candidates underestimate.
- 04Review and repeat
Your dashboard tracks accuracy by topic across attempts, so you can see what is actually improving.

Normally not: the exam unlocks in your Scaled Agile learning plan once you complete the official course. The first two attempts are included if you take them within 60 days of finishing the course or buying the exam; each further attempt costs $50 unproctored or $450 proctored. That is the main structural difference from Scrum.org, where anyone can sit the assessment.
PSM I is about Scrum on one team. SSM is about a Scrum Master operating inside a train of many teams: PI Planning, cross-team dependencies, the Agile Release Train, and Lean-Agile principles that have no equivalent in the Scrum Guide.
Yes. SAFe certifications renew annually and carry a renewal fee, unlike Scrum.org credentials.
