Digital diplomas for yrkeshögskola - secure, beautiful, marketing-driven

Join 21+ Swedish vocational schools issuing blockchain-secured diplomas that students love to share. Automated issuing. Permanent verification. Your brand, your domain.

The problem

Paper diplomas don’t work anymore

Every graduation season, the same routine plays out at YH schools across Sweden. Staff print diplomas. Students sign for them. The diplomas go into folders, desk drawers, or storage boxes - and stay there.

  • Manual issuing wastes administrative time. Hours spent formatting, printing, signing, distributing. Time that could go toward students, not paperwork.
  • Paper and PDF diplomas carry fraud risk. Anyone with basic software can edit a PDF. Paper can be photocopied. Employers cannot easily verify if a diploma is genuine - and most don’t bother trying.
  • Students don’t share what they can’t share easily. A paper diploma doesn’t go on LinkedIn. A PDF attachment doesn’t get noticed. Your school’s brand gets no visibility when graduates enter the workforce with credentials nobody sees.

The result: your diplomas have zero marketing value. Your graduates don’t become ambassadors for your school. And when an employer needs to verify a credential, they’re stuck making phone calls or sending emails - if they verify at all.

The TRUE solution

Digital diplomas that work

Automated issuing

Connect TRUE to your student management system via API. When a student completes their program, their diploma is issued automatically - no manual formatting, no printing, no chasing signatures.

For lower volumes, use our dashboard or email-based issuing. Upload a CSV, and diplomas go out to all recipients in minutes.

Blockchain-secured

Every diploma is written to the blockchain the moment it’s issued. The record becomes immutable - it cannot be changed, deleted, or forged. Not by hackers. Not by anyone.

When an employer scans the QR code on your diploma, they see instant blockchain verification. No phone calls. No waiting. Just trust.

Beautiful, branded design

TRUE diplomas aren’t PDFs. They’re animated, interactive digital documents that showcase your school’s brand. Your logo. Your colors. Your design. Hosted on your own custom domain - not TRUE’s.

Students are proud to share them. And when they do, your school’s brand travels with the diploma.

Marketing value

Your graduates become your distribution channel

When graduates share their TRUE diploma on LinkedIn, your school’s name appears in feeds. When employers scan to verify, they see your brand. Every interaction drives awareness back to you.

TRUE customers have generated over 100 million marketing impressions from shared documents. That’s reach you’d pay millions for - delivered free by your own graduates.

Proof

YH Schools already using TRUE

YH Akademin

One of Sweden’s leading vocational education providers chose TRUE for digital diplomas. Their students now receive blockchain-secured credentials they can share instantly after graduation.

The result: better student experience, less administrative burden, and measurable brand exposure every time a graduate shares their diploma.

Yrkeshögskoleförbundet

The Swedish association for vocational higher education modernized diploma issuance with TRUE. By moving from paper to blockchain-secured digital credentials, they demonstrated the standard for forward-thinking YH institutions.

Why this matters now

Digital transformation, student expectations, employer verification

Digital transformation in swedish education

Swedish education is going digital. Student portals. Online learning. Digital administration. Paper diplomas are the last holdout - and the gap is becoming obvious to students who expect everything else to be digital.

Student expectations have changed

Graduates want credentials they can share on LinkedIn the day they complete their program. They want to build their professional profile immediately - not wait for paper to arrive or scan documents into attachments nobody clicks.

Industry demands verification

Employers increasingly need to verify qualifications quickly. Swedish industries are tightening credentialing requirements. A diploma that can be verified instantly with a QR scan is worth more than a piece of paper that requires manual follow-up.
