Training Certificate Proof of Credentials


Each year BSI trains and certifies more than 200,000 students, from business improvement to environmental management.

BSI Training is now implementing a blockchain-backed solution that allows our clients to demonstrate their personal credentials


and professional qualifications upon completing BSI training courses. This is yet another example of protecting BSI digital assets, which also gives our trainees another level of verification of their qualification(s). This blockchain training solution allows for faster and more efficient verification available to clients and third parties. Additionally, employers can easily verify the credentials of potential candidates. The trainee receives a link and a QR code when they receive their certificate, which can be shared with third parties. The viewer can click on the link or scan the QR code to verify key certificate information which is held on the


permissionless public blockchain. The link takes them directly to a verification screen, while the QR code takes them to a screen on BSI’s website to enter additional criteria (on the certificate) to be taken to verification. This is enabled by placing a record on the blockchain when the certificate is issued. As a result, the shared database cannot be tampered with. This blockchain proof of credentials procedure allows a new form of trust and verification for training certification at BSI. We are excited to not only share our expert knowledge through our training courses, but also provide an additional level of trust. l


“Instruments of trust such as blockchain make educational and credential checks seamless through digital verification. This eliminates false claims or educational embellishments,


making the hiring process easier and more trustworthy.” Richard Keown, Group Training Director
