I chose KnowledgeHut for my SAFe 6 certification. It was a two-day online program with a very experienced trainer. I got to interact with folks from different parts of India, Germany, Slovakia with vast hands-on experience in Project management. The 2 days program and the crisp and condensed study material helped me clear the SAFe certification in my first attempt.
