Getting Started
Sign up for Safeguard Academy, browse the catalog, and enroll in your first course.
Getting started
1. Browse the catalog
The course catalog at academy.safeguard.sh is public — no account needed to browse courses, read course descriptions and curricula, or view published community threads.
2. Sign in or create an account
The Academy uses the same accounts as the rest of Safeguard. If you already use the product, sign in with that account; if not, sign up for free from the Academy. One account works across app.safeguard.sh and the Academy.
You need to be signed in to enroll, track progress, post in course communities, chat with the AI tutor, take exams, and earn certificates.
3. Enroll in a course
Open a course page and select Enroll. Enrollment is free and immediate. The course page shows:
- the curriculum — modules, lessons, and estimated durations
- the course tutors (human profiles and AI tutors)
- the certification the course leads to, if any
- the course community and upcoming live sessions
4. Learn
Work through lessons in order or jump around — progress is tracked per content block (see Taking courses). Your dashboard shows every enrollment with its progress and picks up exactly where you left off.
5. Get certified
Completing all lessons in a certification's course unlocks its exam. Pass the exam and the certificate is issued automatically, with an email containing your public certificate link. See Exams & certifications.
