How I Got GitHub Advanced Security Certification for Free
Today, I took and passed the GitHub Advanced Security certification.
The exam fee was free thanks to a voucher I received from the Maintainer Month Security Challenge. It originally costs 99 USD.
The steps to get the voucher were as follows:
- Completed 3 exercises (fork the repositories and follow the instructions)
- Reported completion via form
In my case, I reported completion on May 6th, and the voucher arrived on June 6th.
I was surprised that the deadline to take the exam was the end of June, but I can't complain. I'm glad I was able to take it during a break from work.
It seems there were no challenges like this in Maintainer Month until last year. I wonder what will happen from next year onwards.
By the way, as for the exam preparation, the following article was very helpful. Thank you.
