Awarded for completing Dependency Management and Security in JavaScript and TypeScript and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to reason about resolution and install behaviour rather than guess at it, keep installs reproducible from a committed lockfile, judge what integrity and provenance actually establish, control install time code execution with a reviewed allowlist, find and prevent phantom dependencies, resolve a transitive finding with a scoped override that carries a reason, a test and an expiry, protect an internal namespace against confusion, generate an artefact inventory from the build rather than the manifest, and plan an upgrade across several major versions that keeps the application shippable throughout.
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.
