Beginning April 3rd, 2023, Scaled Agile has a new model for SAFe Studio Access. With this transition, you will be able to renew at one of three tiers.
The three Certification tiers are:
SAFe® Expert ($995/year + applicable tax) - For those who currently hold SPC or SPCT certifications. Renews all certifications, provides access to all SAFe content, and enables SPCs/SPCTs to train others to lead a Lean-Agile transformation.
SAFe® Advanced ($295/year + applicable tax) - For those who currently hold one or more Advanced certifications. This provides access to basic and some advanced content and continued access to course learnings and assets and renews the following certifications. This also includes every Foundational Certification.

Release Train Engineer (RTE)
SAFe® Advanced Scrum Master (SASM)
SAFe® for Architects (ARCH)
Agile Software Engineer (ASE)
SAFe® Foundational ($195/year + applicable tax) - For those who currently hold one or more Foundational certifications. This provides access to basic content and continued access to course learnings and assets and renews the following certifications.
