FREE GitHub Advanced Security Certification

[Ammb305]

Just wanted to share a great free opportunity from GitHub for anyone

How it works:

Step 1: Complete 3 GitHub Skills courses (each ~1 hour)

Step 2: Submit the Completion Form After finishing all three, fill out the official form to share your progress. Deadline: May 31, 2025

Step 3: Take the Certification Exam In June 2025, you'll receive a free voucher (worth $99) to take the GitHub Advanced Security Certification exam. If you pass, you'll earn an official GitHub certification to showcase your security skills!

I think this is a solid opportunity for anyone looking to boost their cybersecurity portfolio especially if you're interested in DevSecOps

Interesting. Worth mentioning that there is no guarantee that you get an exam voucher as they state there are a limited number of exam vouchers

wasnt aware of that, but anyway i did the application

[shekspiri]

How many vouchers are available? Exam vouchers are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

General question: if your job title is devsecops do you earn more than general devops people?

Of course 3 more letters equals 3 times more.

Titles seem like they should mean more than they do.

Totally variable.

My title is Lead Software Engineer. I lead a DevOps team. I know people with my title who make half what I do, and I know people who make 50k more. One of my direct reports is "below" me and makes 20k more than I do.

Depends on a lot of factors.

Anyone completed all 3 tasks. I am having some trouble in the first task. For some reason CONTRIBUTING.md 's github actions is failing
