ICoBC Credentialing

Verifiable badges and credentials, issued on open standards

Issue digital credentials that learners own and anyone can verify. Every credential is signed by its issuer, follows Open Badges 3.0 and the W3C Verifiable Credentials model, and can be delivered straight to a wallet.

How it works

One platform for issuers, learners and verifiers

Issue

Define badge classes with criteria, skills and evidence. Award them one at a time, in bulk, or through the API from your learning platform.

Own

Recipients receive a signed credential they can keep in a wallet, share as a link or download. It stays valid independently of the issuing system.

Verify

Anyone can check a credential: the issuer's signature, its public identifier and the revocation status are all openly resolvable.

Trust

Issuers are confirmed by ICoBC

The International Council on Badges & Credentials confirms each issuer's key on this platform. A verifier can follow that chain from a single credential back to ICoBC.
