A hands-on first week with software attestation for engineers who have never signed anything. Sign and verify a file and a container image with Sigstore's keyless flow, write an in-toto statement and a SLSA provenance predicate by hand, automate it in GitHub Actions and package registries, and then see how Safeguard reads the result in the Attestation and Provenance tabs, SCAL, the Risk Score and admission control.
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.
