01
Gather the right information
The issuing organization creates a signed record with the credential details.
Use cases
A credential with a way to check it.
Connect the organization that issues a credential, the person who holds it, and the people who need to verify it.
Credentials
Credentials: the decision behind the check
An employer or admissions reviewer needs to distinguish a credential’s content from the authority of the organization issuing it. Make the signed details, issuer information and current status available together, while keeping accreditation assessment separate.
Checking a credential’s signature does not establish the quality or accreditation of its issuer. Recipients should review both.
Use cases
Credentials workflow
02
Make the checks visible
The recipient checks the issuer, content integrity, and current record status.
03
Keep the next step clear
The holder shares the proof when needed; the issuer manages corrections and revocation.
Details and limitations
Credentials: practical requirements
Who uses which workspace
The training provider owns the issuing workspace in Console. Its staff decide who is entitled to a credential and which issuer signs it. The learner can share the resulting public proof; a personal Verify account may help with the learner's own records, but it does not administer the training provider's issuers. An employer checks the specific credential and evaluates the provider's authority separately.
A focused acceptance exercise
Choose one course and a non-sensitive sample learner record. Test the original proof, an altered qualification and a revoked credential. Review which holder details must be public and which should remain restricted. Confirm that the employer can understand both the integrity result and the source of the qualification.
