A practical design guide for building a developer security training curriculum that goes beyond the default annual compliance video, distinct from both the mandatory workforce compliance tier and a smaller security champions network already covered elsewhere in this catalogue. You will learn to map an organisation's actual engineering roles to their realistic vulnerability exposure, choose hands-on, applied formats over passive content where they matter most, build a responsible pipeline for using the organisation's own findings as training material, time delivery to when engineers can actually use it, and measure effectiveness through a genuine behavioural outcome rather than a completion percentage. The course closes with the organisational buy-in negotiation this kind of programme requires and a practical launch checklist.
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.
