A deep, honest look at Safeguard's native desktop application, its local panel of scan, terminal, tasks, files and a bundled Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, and its reach into cloud sandboxes and cloud browsers, beyond what this Academy's surfaces course already covers. It also treats the mobile apps with the same honesty: Safeguard's own sources currently disagree about mobile availability, and this course teaches you exactly how to check the current truth for yourself rather than asserting a settled answer.
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.
