Unit I: How your app runs
Where your code actually runs, what it depends on, and why the copy on your laptop is not the copy on the internet.
Who owns what the AI produced, what you owe the people whose data you hold, and pages everyone can use. Not legal advice: every source is linked so you can read it yourself.
Short lessons with a “Try this” step for your own project and the sources they are based on.

Questions
Is this a professional certification?
No. It is a certificate of completion for Keelmark’s own course, not a professional certification. It is not an accredited credential, it is not an industry certification and it is not a licence. The certificate and its check page say so in plain words.
Who checks that I took the exam myself?
Nobody. The exam is online and unsupervised, and the certificate says so. It shows that someone using your record passed the lessons and the exam; it does not prove who that person was.
Do I need an account or an email address?
No. Your progress lives on a private record kept by one cookie on your device, with a private link you can use to open it on another device. Keelmark never asks for an email address.
What happens to my certificate if I stop paying?
Nothing. Once issued, a certificate stays valid whether or not you keep a Keelmark Pass. You can withdraw it at any time; Keelmark withdraws one only if its name field is misused (see the terms).
Is the course written or graded by AI?
Partly. The lessons were drafted with help from an AI model, then checked against the sources each lesson links. No AI runs on this site: grading is plain code comparing your answer with the right one.
How current is it?
Every lesson shows the date its sources were checked (October 17, 2026 for this version). Certificates print the syllabus version they were earned against.
