A qualification should travel with a clear link to its issuer. Truthlocks helps institutions issue signed records and gives recipients a way to inspect integrity and current record status.

## Universities & colleges: Give graduates a checkable award record

Employers may receive a certificate copy without a convenient way to check its source.

### What to record

Issue a signed award record with the institution identity, approved qualification details, holder reference, and managed record status.

### What to review

Let the graduate share the proof so recipients can check the issuer, content match, and current status.

### The outcome

A portable qualification record with a verification path for its recipient.

## Professional training providers: Share evidence of completed training

Training records are repeatedly requested when learners move between employers or projects.

### What to record

Issue signed completion records that identify the course, issuing provider, relevant completion details, and the responsible issuing identity.

### What to review

Check the record’s source and status alongside the employer’s requirements for the role or assignment.

### The outcome

Reusable training evidence that learners can present when it is needed.

## Registrars & academic services: Identify an issued academic document

A forwarded academic record may differ from the version released by the institution.

### What to record

Record the approved document fingerprint, institutional issuer, student-approved sharing reference, and document version.

### What to review

Compare the presented copy with the issued record and use the institution’s process for corrections or additional disclosure.

### The outcome

A source and integrity check for an academic document shared by its holder.

## Before you begin

Define your issuing authority, credential fields, correction process, and revocation policy. Recipients still assess the institution’s standing and the qualification’s relevance.
