Recipients share them
Employees post their certificates to LinkedIn and digital CVs, spreading your brand to their networks organically. Across our customer base, shared certificates have generated 100M+ marketing impressions.
Retail training never stops — onboarding waves, compliance refreshers, product knowledge updates, customer service programmes. The volume is relentless. TRUE Original lets you issue beautiful, blockchain-secured digital certificates at scale, automatically, with every course completion.
Retail is one of the world's largest employers. That means large training cohorts, frequent refresher cycles, and a near-constant flow of new staff who need certifications on record.
TRUE handles the volume through native integrations with the platforms you already use: Canvas LMS, Moodle, and Learnster. Set it up once: when a learner completes a course, a certificate issues automatically. No manual exports, no email attachments, no chasing.
Your LMS triggers an issue; TRUE delivers a branded, blockchain-secured certificate directly to the recipient's inbox. Your team doesn't have to touch it. Five simple endpoints connect to any system that can make an API call.
Digital certificates from TRUE aren't just proof of completion — they're marketing assets that work long after training ends.
Employees post their certificates to LinkedIn and digital CVs, spreading your brand to their networks organically. Across our customer base, shared certificates have generated 100M+ marketing impressions.
Every document is written to the blockchain, it cannot be altered, forged, or backdated. Anyone, an auditor, a regulator, a future employer, can verify authenticity instantly via QR code with no call to your HR department.
Certificates are hosted on your own domain. Every view, every share, every verification reinforces your organisation's brand, not TRUE's. You stay in control of how recipients and verifiers experience the credential.
TRUE documents drive traffic, impressions, and brand exposure every time they're opened or shared. The €9.5M+ in marketing value across 500,000+ documents issued reflects what that looks like at scale.
"A clear advantage of our new digital certificates is how easily they can be added as a reference to LinkedIn or a digital CV."Lina Fjäll, Chief Customer Officer, Astrakan
"Our alumni now have nice looking Diplomas in an accessible format, but we also see great marketing value!"Sissel Gade, AW Academy
