Learn what a Software Bill of Materials is, how the SPDX and CycloneDX formats represent components, identifiers, licenses, and dependency graphs, and how to read either one with confidence. You will work through real SPDX 2.3 and CycloneDX 1.6 documents, compare and convert between the formats, and generate, export, and critically review your first SBOM with Safeguard.
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.
