A working reference to the Safeguard Gold catalogues, organised by the question you actually have rather than as a feature tour. You will learn what to search when you need to know about a package, a container image, an artificial intelligence model, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, an agent skill, or a chip manufacturer's product line, and how to move from one catalogue to the next when a search raises a question that a different catalogue answers. The course closes with a worked example that crosses four catalogues in a single research task and a short list of common mistakes to avoid.
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.
