 My company's paying for me to attend SAFe SP training on the condition that I take and pass the exam. Just learned that the training is a start, but not everything I'll need for the exam, and I only have a month from the completion of the training to take the exam. Anyone been through this and have recommendations for training materials and/or how much time they had to spend studying?

Thanks Ants posted:

How much time are they giving you during work hours to study following the course? Setting a limit of one month is a bit harsh I think.

I can probably negotiate with my boss, but I haven't seen an estimate of how much time I need, so I don't have useful info to bring to my boss.

I took the class and exam in March. Company paid for it and there were 20 of us who all passed it with only 1 person scoring 85% or something, the rest all had > 90% scores I think. Before taking the exam you need to read some pdfs on their website and watch some videos you can’t skip but that’s about 2 hours of time in total.

It’s insanely simple to pass, read the training material once and make a cheat sheet out that has lists of things like the SAFe Core Values, Agile Manifesto, SAFe House of Lean pillars, etc. Keep this as a reference during your exam. PM me if you have questions on topics that should be on it.

It’s a webbased exam that is not proctored so there is nobody stopping you from keeping your course material / notes next to you. The SAFe website is good to have open in 1 tab. If you search for the subject of a question you are likely able to find the anwser.

I think you might even be able to pass it without reading any of the material and just googling every single question. It helps a lot when you recognize the buzzwords and their meaning though.

Fantastic, thank you very much!
