A plain-language track for in-house counsel, contract managers and procurement professionals who must govern open-source licence risk without reading code. You will learn the licence families and what each obliges, how to read SPDX expressions, how Safeguard finds and reports licences across your software and your suppliers', how NOTICE files and policy-as-code turn obligations into routine, and what to write into vendor contracts.
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.
