No. One free Safeguard account covers the Academy and the platform. You can take courses and earn certifications without ever being a paying customer.
None. The flagship course, Safeguard Certified Practitioner, is a beginner-level course — basic familiarity with how software is built helps, but every exam question is answerable from the lessons themselves.
The Safeguard Certified Practitioner exam is 30 questions drawn at random from a larger pool, 45 minutes, 70% to pass. Question types are multiple choice, multi-select (exact-match, no partial credit), and true/false. Grading is automatic and your result is available as soon as you submit.
You can retake it after a 24-hour cooldown, as many times as you need. Retakes are free, and each attempt draws a fresh random set of questions.
Every certificate has a public page at academy.safeguard.sh/cert/<id> — open the link or scan the QR code on the printed certificate. The page shows the credential's live status (valid, expired, or revoked), so it can't go stale the way a PDF can. No account is needed to check it, and you can add the credential to LinkedIn in one click.
