How to choose a POPM course

Decide whether you need a class. No course is required. You can buy the proctored exam for $495 with two attempts, or take a POPM class, which includes the exam.
Check the exam is included. All three classes here include the first two exam attempts, so you do not pay for the exam separately.
Sit the exam within 60 days. After a class, you must take the exam within 60 days of finishing it. Book your exam date when you book the class.
Choose by price and dates. All three classes cover the AI-Empowered SAFe POPM exam, so the difference is price, class dates and format. Agile36 lists $545 and Cprime $995.
