Safeguard's autonomous agents can propose a plan for approval, pursue a stated goal within guardrails, run a fixed and reviewable workflow, or maintain a condition continuously in a loop tied to the scheduler. This course teaches each mode on its own terms, how to scope permissions and review output, the specific failure modes each mode invites, and how to choose and combine modes with execution surfaces and Griffin AI remediation.
Nothing. Every course, exam, and certificate on the catalog is free — including retakes. All you need is a free Safeguard account.
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.
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.
The Safeguard Certified Practitioner credential is valid for 24 months from issue. The expiry date is printed on the certificate and shown live on its public verification page. Renewing means passing the current exam again.
