90+ Education Providers
Digital diplomas & certificates your students will share
More than 90 education providers issue blockchain-secured credentials through TRUE: credentials students put on LinkedIn, employers verify in seconds, and that send measurable traffic back to the institution that awarded them.
TL;DR
A digital diploma is a credential issued as a permanent web address on your own domain rather than as a printed sheet or an email attachment, carrying a QR code and a verification link anyone can use. That single change removes three costs at once: the manual work of printing and posting, the inbound verification requests your registrar answers one at a time, and the fraud risk of a document that can be edited in a PDF tool without leaving a trace. Blockchain-secured credentials compare each document against a cryptographic record written when it was issued, so an altered copy fails the check rather than passing. Issuing runs from a dashboard, a CSV upload, an LMS integration with Canvas, Moodle or Learnster, or a REST API with five endpoints, and most providers go live in two to four weeks. The side effect is reach: every graduate who shares a credential puts your institution in front of a professional network you did not pay to access.
- Verification stops arriving as email, because the credential answers for itself.
- Live in two to four weeks, including design, integration and testing.
- Works for degrees and short courses alike, from doctoral awards to a one-day compliance module.
What does a digital diploma change for a training provider?
It moves the burden of proof off your staff and onto the document. Today an employer who doubts a credential contacts you; with a verifiable credential they scan a code and get an answer in seconds, at any hour, from any country.
For the learner the change is just as concrete. A PDF sits in a downloads folder until it is lost. A credential with a permanent address can be attached to a profile, sent to a recruiter, and still resolve years later when the course, the platform and the tutor have all moved on.
Where does manual issuing cost you?
In four places, and they recur every intake. Staff time on production, staff time on verification, exposure to forgery, and the marketing value of your own name walking out of the building unrecorded.
Manual issuing consumes staff time
Hours of formatting, printing, signing and distributing. Paper jams. Chasing signatures. Time that should go to students and programmes.
Verification requests pile up
Employers email. HR departments call. Each request means pulling a record, confirming it and replying. The workload never ends because the cohorts never stop.
Paper and PDF carry fraud risk
A PDF can be edited with basic software and paper can be photocopied. Without a verification path, a credential is only as trustworthy as the claim attached to it.
Your brand gets no visibility
A diploma in a desk drawer generates no awareness and a PDF attachment drives no traffic. Your part in a graduate's success stays invisible to everyone who was not there.
How often do employers check qualification claims?
Less often than the volume of false claims would justify, and the gap is widest at smaller employers. UK research published in 2025 found most HR teams do not verify every qualification presented to them, while a large majority of big employers report a rise in fraudulent applications driven by AI tooling.
- 67% of large employers say AI has contributed to a surge in fraudulent job applications, alongside 64% of medium-sized and 37% of small enterprises. Source: Prospects Luminate and Hedd, July 2025, from a YouGov survey of 526 HR decision makers, fieldwork 24 to 29 April 2025.
- 45% of large businesses have encountered job application fraud, against 29% of small and medium ones, and only 32% of SMEs check all of a candidate's qualifications compared with 52% of large employers. Same source.
- 18% of UK people have lied on a CV or job application to land a role, or know someone who has, in the past year. Source: Cifas, 3 February 2025, from an Opinion Matters survey of 2 000 UK adults.
A credential that verifies in one scan changes the arithmetic for the employer, which is the only way checking rates go up. For a provider it also means fewer of those checks land in your inbox.
What does each group get out of it?
Four groups touch a credential and each wants something different from it. Administrators want fewer manual steps, students want something shareable, employers want a fast answer, and the institution wants the exposure.

What do education leaders say?
“Our alumni now have nice looking Diplomas in an accessible format, but we also see great marketing value!”
“These modern and stylish educational certificates can easily be shared on LinkedIn and other digital channels.”
“The animation looks fantastic, and it’s so simple for our recipients.”
“This is absolutely brilliant! A thousand thank you’s!!”
How does a provider go live?
In six steps over two to four weeks, and after the first cohort only two of them need a person. Design, integrate and issue is the setup; deliver, share and verify then happen on their own.
1. Design
Branded templates: your logo, your colours, your animation.
2. Integrate
Connect through the API, the dashboard or a CSV upload.
3. Issue
Automatic or manual, depending on how your programmes run.
4. Deliver
Recipients get an email with a permanent link, immediately.
5. Share
LinkedIn, portfolios, QR codes. Every share carries your name.
6. Verify
Employers scan the QR code and the blockchain record confirms it.
What kinds of credential can you issue?
Anything with a completion event behind it. The format does not care whether the programme ran for three years or three hours, which is why the same setup covers a doctoral award and an annual compliance refresher.
Academic diplomas
Bachelor's, master's and doctoral awards
Training certificates
Courses, workshops and skills programmes
Corporate learning and development
Employee training and compliance modules
Medical education
Clinical training, continuing education and specialty programmes
Professional development
Leadership, executive and coaching programmes
Traditional diploma or TRUE digital diploma?
The comparison only matters after the ceremony. Both look right on the day; one of them still answers questions five years later without anyone at your institution being involved.
| Aspect | Traditional or PDF diploma | TRUE digital diploma |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per diploma | Paper, printing, postage, replacement workflow | Pure software, close to zero per diploma |
| Verification speed | Days, by phone, email or registry lookup | Seconds, by QR scan or URL |
| Fraud protection | Hologram or seal, forgeable with AI tools | Cryptographic hash on blockchain |
| LinkedIn-shareable | Low-resolution photo upload | Native one-click Add to LinkedIn |
| Lost or damaged | Replacement process, fee, weeks of delay | Permanent verification URL that cannot be lost |
| Lives on your domain | No domain | Yes, branded URL on your custom domain |
| International recognition | Translation and notarisation overhead | The same QR code works in any country |
| Marketing impact | Effectively zero | 100M+ impressions across the customer base |
| Long-term verification | Records degrade as institutions change systems | Permanently verifiable on-chain |
How much reach do shared credentials generate?
Enough to be worth measuring, though the figures below are TRUE platform data across every issuer rather than third party research. They describe what happens when recipients share, not what any single institution should expect.
500K+
documents issued
100M+
impressions

What do education providers ask before switching?
The questions below come up most often from registrars, programme managers and corporate learning teams.
How many education providers use TRUE?
More than 90, including Karolinska Institutet, FEI (founded 1888), Stockholm International Business School, TUC Education, Doctor K Academy and Dale Carnegie Sweden.
How long does implementation take?
Most providers complete the move to TRUE digital credentials in two to four weeks, covering design, integration and testing.
Can TRUE integrate with our LMS?
Yes. TRUE connects to Canvas, Moodle, Learnster, Salesforce and custom systems through the REST API. Most integrations complete in one to two weeks.
Do credentials appear on our domain?
Yes. TRUE credentials live on your domain, for example credentials.yourinstitution.edu, so when one is shared on LinkedIn or checked by an employer your brand gets the exposure.
What happens to credentials we already issued on paper?
Historic cohorts can be issued retrospectively from a CSV of the original records, which gives past graduates a verifiable version without changing what they were awarded or when.
What do TRUE customers say?
“Our alumni now have nice looking Diplomas in an accessible format, but we also see great marketing value! Thanks for a great product!”
“These modern and stylish educational certificates can easily be shared on LinkedIn and other digital channels.”
