I am an instructor. How do I access the translated version of SAFe courses?
You must complete the Trainer Enablement for the specific course that you are interested in teaching. For example, if you are interested in teaching Leading SAFe 5.1 Japanese, you must first complete the Leading SAFe 5.1 Japanese Trainer Enablement. Upon completion, you can then license and create the course just like all other courses.
I am a previously enabled instructor on Leading SAFe 5.0 English. How can I use Leading SAFe 5.1 in different languages?
You must complete the Leading SAFe 5.1 Trainer Enablement in the language you are interested in teaching first. Upon completion, you can then license and create the course just like all other courses.
I am enabled to teach Leading SAFe 5.1 English. Can I teach the class using the 5.1 version in different languages?
You must complete the Leading SAFe 5.1 Trainer Enablement in the language you are interested in teaching, even if you are already enabled to teach the Leading SAFe 5.1 English version.
I am enabled to teach Leading SAFe 5.1 in the non-English language. Can I teach the class using the English 5.1 version?
You must complete the Leading SAFe 5.1 English Trainer Enablement to teach English Leading SAFe 5.1 even if you are already enabled to teach the Leading SAFe 5.1 in another language version.
Where can I find the Trainer Enablement in different languages?
Sign in to the Community Platform and go to “Teach” in the navigation, then “Course Enablement”. The Trainer Enablement is included in the SAFe Program Consultant catalog for the specific language.
I have an unused license for Leading SAFe 5.1 English. Can I exchange the license for Leading SAFe 5.1 in different languages?
Yes, you can. You can process the exchange in Course Admin. If you need any assistance, please contact our support team.
When I get the certification for Leading SAFe 5.1 in the non-English language, will my certification be the same as Leading SAFe 5.1 English?
Yes. Your certification will be the same: SAFe 5 Agilist.
I am a previously enabled instructor on version 4.6. Do I have to take the 5.1 validation exam in the Trainer Enablement?
Yes. You need to upgrade your SPC certification to 5 first. Then you need to complete Course Delivery Enablement, including the validation exam.
When I take a SAFe class from a local partner, the registration fee is charged using the local currency. If I need to retake the certification exam, will it be charged in the local currency or US Dollar?
You will be charged in US dollars.
I failed the validation exam in English. Can I take the validation exam in a different language without an additional fee?
If you plan to teach the course using the non-English version, you must pass the validation exam using the particular language version. Similarly, if you plan to teach the course using the English version, you need to pass the validation exam using the English version. If you fail the non-English version, you must retake the validation exam in the same language if you want to teach using the particular language version. Taking and passing the validation exam in English does not allow you to teach the different language versions.
If I took the course in English, can I take the exam in a different language?
At this time this is not an option. Each student can only be assigned one learning plan at a time for taking a course. For Example: This means that if the instructor originally uploaded the students to an English course, they will all receive the same English learning plan and be required to take the exam in English.
