Independent skill verification

Proof that someone can actually do the work.

A neutral home for proof of skill. Take a course or test from the open catalog and earn a Skill that travels with you — or let a company grant an Authorization for its own work. Every grant is a dated, tamper-evident record of who verified what.

The architecture

One verification engine. Two kinds of proof.

A skill and an authorization are minted and checked the same way. What separates them is who grants it and how far it travels — so the system is built once and parameterized, not twice.

Skills

Portable · Public

Universal credentials a provider carries across the whole ecosystem. Earned by completing a course, or by testing out if they already know the work.

  • Travel with the provider everywhere they go
  • Earned from any course or test in the open catalog
  • Shown on the public profile, grantor and date attached

e.g. Grill Assembly · Basketball Goal Installation · Elliptical Assembly

Authorizations

Company-scoped · Private

Grants a client company makes for its own products and processes, through its own course. Scoped to that one relationship — and never shown publicly.

  • Authored and owned by the granting company
  • Invisible to other platforms — each relationship is sealed
  • Kept off the public profile by design

e.g. Reference Station — RSI Installation, authorized by CXN

Same model — just scope and grantor.

Build the verification once, then parameterize it. A skill is universal and maps to the platform's skill layer; an authorization is company-scoped and maps to a client's. scope and grantor are the only two dials.

The flow

Earn it, mint it, write it back.

It starts with an open catalog of courses and tests published by independent creators. Verification isn't a static badge — the moment a credential is earned, it flows into every system that depends on it.

01

Earn it

Pick a course from the catalog and work through its lessons and quizzes. Already know the material? Skip straight to the test and earn the same skill.

Test-out · CLEP model
02

Mint it

SkillVerify records the grant as a tamper-evident credential: the grantor, the verifier, and the date — a single line you can read at a glance.

03

Carry it everywhere

The credential lands on your profile and flows into any platform or company you've connected — so connected records update themselves, with nothing re-keyed by hand.

Who it's for

Three ways in. One verified credential.

SkillVerify stands on its own. People come to prove a skill, companies come to require one, and creators come to teach it — all on the same neutral ledger.

Verification you can read

The profile is a tamper-evident ledger.

Every verified skill carries one monospace line — a check, the grantor, and the date. Earn a parent and its children cascade-verify beneath it. At 400+ skills the layout stays grouped, searchable, and calm.

Verified — Granted by a course or a test-out. Grantor and date on every row.
Pending — Claimed, not yet verified by a grantor.
Parent skill — Earning the parent cascade-verifies its children.

Company authorizations stay private to the granting relationship — they never appear on a public profile.

Start proving what you can do.

Providers sign up free and earn portable, verified skills. Companies create an account and run a certification program of their own — courses, tests, badges, and all. It takes a minute either way.
