• BHave them attend Leading SAFe training.

• C

• E

Explanation

Option C is correct because the System Team is fundamentally a team on the ART, and training alongside all other teams builds shared context, common language, and the cross-team relationships they'll need to support the train effectively - SAFe for Teams covers exactly the ceremonies, cadences, and collaboration models the System Team will operate within.

Distractors:

• A & B (Leading SAFe): Leading SAFe targets managers, executives, and change agents responsible for directing a SAFe transformation - not practitioners doing team-level work.
• D (Implementing SAFe/SPC): This is the most advanced certification path, designed for coaches who will install SAFe across an enterprise - far beyond what System Team members need.
• E (Foundations + OJT): Informal self-study is insufficient; it skips the structured, collaborative learning that helps System Team members build working relationships with the very teams they'll serve.

Memory tip: System Team = still a team. When in doubt, ask "what training do all ART teams get?" - that's exactly what the System Team should get too, and that's SAFe for Teams.
