You will need 10 continuing education or outreach hours (PDUs) to maintain your SAFe SSM certification.
PDUs are Professional Development Units issued by the Project Management Institute®. They can be earned by completing educational training or learning opportunities, which serve to validate your participation and continued proficiency in the principles and practices of project management.
PDUs are the measuring unit used to quantify your project management professional development as part of the PMI’s Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program. 1 PDU = 1 hour of learning/activity.
A Scrum Education Unit® (SEU®) is a credit issued by Scrum Alliance®, validating your participation and continued proficiency in the fundamental principles of Scrum. SEUs demonstrate that you are furthering your proficiency as a Scrum practitioner. SEUs follow a 1:1 ratio, where one hour of participation or preparation towards increasing your proficiency in Scrum is equal to one SEU.
You can earn PDUs by attending training programs offered by PMI Accredited Training Organizations (ATOs) or by organizations or universities. Whenever you attend a PMI congress, webinar, conference or any other event or indulge in self-directed learning, you can earn PDUs.
You can find out more about PDUs in PMI’s FAQs.

Scaled Agile, Inc.® is the provider of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), the most popular method for scaling agile at the enterprise level. SAFe was initially released in 2011 by Dean Leffingwell as a knowledgebase for enterprises to adopt Agile. The Certified SAFe 5 Scrum Master certification is given to those who have successfully undertaken the SAFe Scrum Master Certification Exam.
You cannot get certified without taking the course. Scaled Agile believes in true learning that can only be achieved through in-person training and hands-on experience from a SAFe Program Consultant (SPC). The SAFe Scrum Master exam is not provided as a substitute for formal training.
When you enrol for the SAFe Scrum Master certification course, you will receive the following:
Here’s the process to become a Certified SAFe Scrum Master:
Ready to get started with your Certified SAFe Scrum Master certification? Click here.
Yes, you will receive a course completion certificate on completing the course.
You will have to attend two days of training under a SAFe Program Consultant (SPC) following which you will be required to take an exam to demonstrate your knowledge of SAFe and to get certified. Once you pass the exam, you are declared certified.
No, your certificate will not mention the mode of course you have attended. It will look the same as the in-person certificates.
The Scaled Agile framework is evolving, all thanks to the engagements and contributions of those who share their ideas as well as practical experiences in the workplace. Renewal of your certification validates your interest in keeping up with the latest best practices in SAFe® and your commitment to professional excellence.
In that case, you will only need to pay $195 and continue to benefit from all the valuable content and interactions at the SAFe Community Platform.
The latest release of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is version 5, update 5.1. KnowledgeHut's Leading SAFe 5 Certification course is aligned with the latest version of SAFe.
No. The version of SAFe remains SAFe 5. The change from SAFe 5 to 5.1 is simply a set of updates to SAFe 5. One of these updates includes a new SAFe 5.1 Big Picture, but this and the other updates, are all in support of SAFe 5 for Lean Enterprises.
An upgrade is when a significantly changed version of the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) is released; this is recognized typically by an increase in the major version number (e.g. 4 to 5).
Updates are when incremental changes are made to the existing version of the Framework and no upgrade is required. Updates do not require a retest if you already have the most up-to-date certification available, and no upgrade is required.
The change from SAFe 5 to 5.1 is an update, not an upgrade.
With a commitment to supporting and evolving SAFe practices, Scaled Agile is on a mission to meet the ever-changing needs of SAFe Enterprises and Partner communities. Towards this end, Scaled Agile will continually update their existing articles and keep adding new ones to reflect the updated understanding from the SAFe community and practitioners on best practices in Lean Agile at scale.
The latest update 5.1 was rolled out to the latest version, SAFe 5 on February 10, 2021. The key updates are as follows:
