Corporate L&D
Training certificates your employees will share
Your people finished the course and earned the credential. Give them something they can display rather than a PDF that disappears into a downloads folder. TRUE issues blockchain secured digital certificates that employees add to LinkedIn in one click, drop into a CV, and that any hiring manager or auditor can verify in seconds.
TL;DR
A corporate training certificate has two jobs: proving the training happened and making the employee want to show it. A PDF does neither well. TRUE issues each completion as an animated, branded document published on your own company domain, with a QR code and a permanent verification URL, and a cryptographic fingerprint written to a blockchain at issue. Employees add it to LinkedIn as a verified credential, and compliance teams can prove that mandatory training was completed without asking anyone to dig out a file. Issuance connects to Canvas, Moodle, Learnster and Salesforce, or to any system through a five endpoint REST API, so a course completion event issues the credential with no L&D involvement after setup.
- Issued automatically from a completion event in your existing LMS or HR system.
- Verified in seconds by a hiring manager, auditor or client, with no call to HR.
- Shared as a credential, not a low resolution image, so the employer brand travels with it.
- Permanently re-accessible, because the verification URL outlives the employee's inbox.
Why do most corporate training certificates go unseen?
Because a PDF has nowhere to go. It cannot be added to a LinkedIn profile as a credential, it cannot be checked by anyone outside the company, and it stops existing the moment the employee loses the file. The training happened and the proof stayed in an attachment.
Training programs cost real money. You design the curriculum, bring in the facilitators, track completions, run reports. And then you hand out a PDF.
Nobody shares a PDF.
Nobody's colleagues see it. Nobody's network notices. The training happened, the credential existed, but the value stayed trapped in an email attachment.
The harder problem: certificate fraud
When an employee claims a certification during hiring or promotion, how does anyone confirm it? TRUE closes both gaps at once: the credential becomes worth sharing and it becomes checkable.
What do the numbers say about training spend and credential checking?
Organisations spend real money per employee on learning while formal learning hours fall, and most employers never verify the credentials they are shown. Both figures point the same way: proof of training is worth more when somebody else can confirm it. All three sources below are third party research.
- US organisations spent an average of 1,254 dollars per employee on learning in 2024, against 13.7 formal learning hours per employee, down from 17.4 hours in 2023. Source: ATD Research, State of the Industry 2025, as reported by Reworked, 20 August 2025.
- 45% of large employers have uncovered a false qualification claim, and only 52% verify all academic credentials. Verification falls to 37% at medium sized organisations and 29% at small ones. Source: Prospects Luminate, November 2025, from a YouGov survey of 526 HR decision makers.
- 18% of UK adults have lied on a CV or job application in the last 12 months, or know someone who has. Source: Cifas, 3 February 2025, from an Opinion Matters survey of 2,000 UK adults.
A credential that carries its own verification path turns your training record into something a hiring manager can act on, which is the difference between spend and evidence.
What does TRUE change for an L&D team?
It removes the manual issuing step and gives the credential somewhere to live. TRUE connects to the system that already records completions, issues a branded document on your own domain, and tracks what happens to it afterwards.

How do L&D teams use TRUE today?
From a global construction group to specialist consultancies, the pattern repeats: completions that nobody outside the company could see, replaced by credentials employees put on their profiles. Three of them describe it below.
From a global construction giant to specialist IT consultancies - they all faced the same challenge: training completions that nobody saw.
"This is absolutely brilliant! A thousand thank you's!!"
"A clear advantage of our new digital certificates is how easily they can be added as a reference to LinkedIn or a digital CV."
"The animation looks fantastic, and it's so simple for our recipients."
How does it work, step by step?
Five steps: connect your LMS, design the certificate, let completions trigger issuance, employees share a link rather than a file, and anyone who needs to verify scans a QR code. After setup, no step needs an L&D team member.
From connection to LinkedIn shares in five straightforward steps.
Connect your LMS
Integrates with Canvas, Moodle, Learnster, Salesforce. REST API for custom systems. Hours, not weeks.
Design certificates
Branded, animated certificates. Onboarding looks different from leadership development. Every course gets its own credential.
Issue automatically
Employee completes the course? Certificate issues instantly. No L&D team involvement required after setup.
Employees share
A link, not a file. One click to add to LinkedIn. Their network sees your commitment to development.
Anyone verifies
Hiring managers, clients, and partners verify in seconds via QR code. No calls to HR, no email chains.
Why do L&D teams choose TRUE?
Six reasons come up repeatedly: employees engage with the credential, every share is employer brand exposure, compliance claims become checkable, issuing is automated, engagement data is reportable, and it connects to the stack you already run.
Employee pride & engagement
People who share credentials are people who valued the training. TRUE certificates are designed to be worth sharing - which tells you something about how employees feel about them.
Employer branding, built in
Every LinkedIn share from an employee saying "I completed X training" is a brand impression. With 500,000+ documents issued driving 100M+ marketing impressions, your training spend becomes employer brand exposure.
Compliance & fraud prevention
When a candidate claims they're certified, verification takes seconds. When an employee says they completed mandatory training, the blockchain record proves it. No more taking people's word for it.
Full automation
L&D teams are stretched. TRUE removes the manual work from credential issuing - LMS completion triggers issuance, no human steps required.
Real data
See which training programs generate the most LinkedIn activity. Understand which credentials employees share most. Report on the actual reach of your training investment.
Works with your stack
Canvas LMS, Moodle, Learnster, Salesforce, and a REST API with 5 simple endpoints for any custom integration. Already tracking completions? TRUE connects to it.
What does TRUE's own platform data show?
More than 500,000 documents issued, producing over 100 million impressions across all TRUE issuers. These are TRUE platform figures, not third party research, and they describe the whole customer base rather than any single programme.
Every certificate shared on LinkedIn is an employer brand advertisement. Every verified credential reduces hiring risk. Every automated issuance saves your L&D team time.

Which training programmes are worth certifying?
The ones somebody else needs to trust. Onboarding, mandatory compliance training, leadership development, internal certification tracks and partner or trainer certification all produce a claim that is later relied on, which is exactly where a verifiable credential earns its place.
Onboarding completion
Welcome new hires properly. Issue a credential when they complete onboarding - something worth adding to their LinkedIn on day one.
Compliance training
Document that mandatory safety, data protection, or regulatory training was completed - with a tamper-proof blockchain record your compliance team can rely on.
Leadership development
Your future leaders complete your leadership program. Give them a credential that reflects the significance of that investment.
Internal certification programs
Running an internal certification track? TRUE can issue and manage tiered credentials as employees progress.
Partner & trainer certification
Dale Carnegie Sweden uses TRUE for trainer certification. If you certify external partners, resellers, or facilitators, TRUE ensures their credentials are verifiable and your brand is protected.
Which L&D teams issue certificates with TRUE?
Construction, professional training, technology and public sector teams, among more than 200 issuers across over 15 countries. TRUE is eIDAS compliant and Cyber Hygiene Certified by OneMore Secure.

How does a PDF training certificate compare with a TRUE certificate?
The PDF is easier to produce and worse at everything afterwards. It can be edited, it cannot be verified without a phone call, it uploads to LinkedIn as a flat image, and it disappears when the employee leaves. The table sets the two side by side.
What L&D teams get when they move past PDFs.
| Feature | PDF certificate | TRUE certificate |
|---|---|---|
| Tamper-proof | No, can be edited | Yes, blockchain-anchored |
| Instant verification | Manual back-and-forth | QR scan or URL |
| LinkedIn-shareable | Low-res image only | Native one-click add |
| Lives on your domain | No domain | Yes, branded URL |
| Permanent re-access | Lost when employee leaves | Permanent verification URL |
| Audit trail | None | Immutable, timestamped |
| Automation | Manual generation | REST API + LMS integrations |
| Marketing value | Effectively zero | 100M+ impressions across customers |
What do L&D teams ask before switching?
Four questions: how a TRUE certificate differs from a PDF, whether issuance can be automated from an existing LMS, how to think about cost, and whether employees will really share them.
Common questions from L&D teams evaluating digital certificates.
How is a TRUE certificate different from a PDF certificate?
PDFs can be edited, copied, and faked in seconds. TRUE certificates are anchored on the blockchain at issuance, producing a tamper-proof fingerprint. Each certificate has a permanent verification URL, lives on your own domain, and is built for sharing on LinkedIn. The recipient sees a credential that looks and works like a real qualification.
Can we automate certificate issuance from our LMS?
Yes. Use the REST API (5 endpoints) to trigger issuance from any LMS, HR system, or training platform. Native integrations exist for Canvas, Moodle, Learnster, and Salesforce. Most L&D teams set up automated issuance after a course completion event in under a day.
What does a TRUE certificate cost compared to printing PDFs?
TRUE pricing is transparent and tiered by volume. The cost of staying on PDFs is what they fail to deliver: no LinkedIn shares, no employer brand value, no audit trail, and manual reissuing every time an employee loses a file. TRUE has not published a measured cost comparison, so model it against your own issuing volume and reissue rate.
Will employees share their training certificates?
They share them when the certificate is built to be shared. TRUE certificates are full animated documents with verifiable authenticity rather than low resolution badge icons, and they add to a LinkedIn profile as a credential in one click. Across TRUE's whole customer base, shared certificates have produced more than 100 million impressions. That is TRUE platform data covering all issuers, not a per programme share rate.
What do L&D customers say?
Two learning and development teams on what changed when completions became credentials employees displayed. Skanska runs training across a global construction group and AW Academy issues to alumni, so both judge the format by whether anyone outside the company ever sees it.
“This is absolutely brilliant! A thousand thank you’s!!”
“Our alumni now have nice looking Diplomas in an accessible format, but we also see great marketing value! Thanks for a great product!”
