A strictly defensive course on recognising and reporting a social engineering approach, written for people who resent being told they were careless. Covers email sender and domain mechanics, fake sign-in pages, multi-factor fatigue prompts, text message, telephone and chat approaches, quick response codes, impersonation of a colleague or supplier, and invoice and payment fraud. Built around one habit that works even when the message fools you completely: verify through a channel you already had, never one the message gave you.
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.
