About Certiff.
Our Vision & Mission
We envision a world in which every individual can present their competencies with clarity, confidence, and immediacy, regardless of location, and we are committed to achieving that vision by delivering SkillsPass, a solution that makes abilities transparent, simple to share, and instantly verifiable, thereby strengthening trust among individuals, educators, and organisations.
SkillsPass
SkillsPass is your personal skills card, available both digitally and as a physical card. A single scan or click instantly displays the knowledge and experience you’ve gained, perfect for job applications, internships, or new projects.
Certificate Box
Behind every SkillsPass is Certificate Box, a public registry where anyone can confirm your credentials in seconds. Training providers may upload certificates only after meeting our strict quality standards, so you can rely on the value of a SkillsPass anywhere in Europe.
Looking Ahead
Clear, verifiable skills are essential for major challenges like reskilling and a fair labour market. With SkillsPass and Certificate Box, we make talent visible and opportunities accessible to everyone.
