An advanced, hands-on guide to bringing licensed commercial engine results into Safeguard: the Static Analysis Results Interchange Format's object model and its real limits, matching the same defect across several engines without over-merging, and normalising severity while preserving full provenance. The course closes with documented precedence rules for disagreeing engines and the deduplicated-versus-raw metrics distinction that keeps multi-engine reporting honest.
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.
