How verification works

Certificates are designed to be checked, not just displayed.

Every certificate has a public page at academy.safeguard.sh/cert/<id> — no account needed to view it
The page shows live status: valid, expired, or revoked — never a stale PDF
A QR code on the printed certificate points at the same page
One-click add to your LinkedIn profile; shared links unfurl as rich cards

Validity and renewal

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.
