Awarded for completing Choosing a Surface: The Same Job on Eight Different Screens and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to select the right Safeguard surface for a given job using latency, context, keyboard against glance, interactive against automated and device trust, to match surfaces to roles, and to roll out a small deliberate set rather than a catalogue.
Certificates are designed to be checked, not just displayed.
The credential is valid for 12 months from issue. Its public page states the expiry date, and renewing means passing the current exam again — so the credential always reflects the current material.
