A developer's practical course in keeping security checks alive inside the real development loop. You will learn where each kind of check belongs, from pre-commit through pull request, merge and build, how to design pull request feedback developers actually act on, how to keep a build reproducible and its provenance trustworthy, and how to run the whole loop inside a check time budget so no check gets quietly disabled by the people it was built to help.
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.
