Who it's for

We build software for organisations that train and certify working professionals: registration and eligibility checks, programme delivery around work schedules, proctored assessments, credentials with public verification, CPE or CPD credit tracking for renewals, and corporate accounts for sponsored learners.

Cost depends on
  • Assessment security
  • Credit and renewal rules
  • Legacy records

Credentials that employers and regulators can verify

Professional education sits between higher education and corporate training. Learners are working adults with little spare time, programmes lead to a credential that has to be trusted, and many professions require continuing education to keep a certification or membership active.

We build platforms for professional associations, certification bodies, executive education units and NSQF-aligned skilling programmes. They handle eligibility checks, flexible schedules, secure assessments, and credentials with a public verification page. Where employers sponsor learners, the platform also needs bulk enrolment and progress reports that respect learner privacy.

Challenges

Operational gaps in professional programmes

  1. Credential fraud

    Fake or altered certificates circulate when there is no quick public verification.

  2. Continuing education tracking

    Members self-report CPE hours by email, and renewal checks are manual.

  3. Exam integrity at a distance

    Remote assessments need identity checks without excluding candidates on weak connections.

  4. Employer-sponsored cohorts

    Companies want bulk enrolment, GST invoices and progress reports for their staff.

Capabilities for professional education providers

  • Eligibility and registration

    Qualification checks, document upload, application review and fee payment in one flow.

  • Learning for busy adults

    Short modules, downloadable readings and progress sync for study on the move.

  • Assessment scheduling

    Exam slot booking, remote proctoring options and test-centre allocation.

  • Credential issuance

    Digital certificates with unique IDs, QR verification pages and revocation.

  • CPE and CPD ledger

    Credit rules per activity, external claims, approvals and renewal reminders.

How it works

How a professional earns, proves and renews a credential

  1. Candidate portal

    Step 1: Candidate registers

    Qualifications and documents are uploaded, eligibility is checked against your rules, and the fee is paid in one application.

  2. Learning app

    Step 2: Studies around the working day

    Short modules and downloadable readings sync progress between phone and laptop, so study fits into commutes and evenings.

  3. Candidate portal

    Step 3: Books an exam slot

    The candidate picks a remote-proctored slot or a test centre, and receives reminders with identity instructions.

  4. Proctoring service

    Step 4: Sits the assessment

    Identity is checked at login, and any flagged event is reviewed by a human invigilator before results are released.

  5. Credential service

    Step 5: Credential issued with a public link

    A digital certificate with a unique ID and QR code lets any employer confirm it is genuine in seconds.

  6. Member account

    Step 6: Credits logged towards renewal

    Your own courses add CPE credits automatically; external claims go to a reviewer before they count.

Plain-English glossary

Credentialing terms, made plain

CPE and CPD credits
Continuing professional education or development: hours of learning professionals must log to keep a certification or membership active. Tracking them in the platform replaces emailed claims and manual renewal checks.
Remote proctoring
Supervising an online exam through identity checks, webcam snapshots and flagged events that a person reviews. Candidates can test from home while the credential keeps its value.
Credential revocation
Marking a certificate as withdrawn, for example after misconduct or a lapsed renewal. Because the verification page reads live records, anyone checking sees the change straight away.
NSQF
The National Skills Qualifications Framework, which organises skills qualifications in India by level. Recording each programme's level helps learners and employers compare credentials.

Cost drivers

Drivers of certification platform cost

  1. Assessment security

    Unproctored quizzes are simple; remote proctoring and test-centre operations add significant scope.

  2. Credit and renewal rules

    CPE rules that vary by membership category need a rules engine and admin tools.

  3. Legacy records

    Importing historical members, results and certificates needs cleansing and verification.

Estimates are written from your scope, with the effort and assumptions behind each line item.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does public certificate verification work?

Each credential gets a unique ID and a verification page, reached from a QR code on the certificate, showing the holder's name, programme, issue date and status — valid, expired or revoked — straight from your records. Employers can also verify by entering the ID. Because the page reads live data, a revoked or lapsed credential shows as such immediately. You choose which fields appear, so verification never exposes more personal data than needed.

Can the platform track CPE or CPD credits for renewals?

Yes. You define how many credits each activity earns — your own courses, approved external events, webinars or self-study — and the rules per membership category and cycle. Credits from your courses post automatically; external claims go to a reviewer with evidence attached. Members see their balance and deadline, reminders go out as a cycle closes, and at renewal the system flags members who have not met the requirement.

Can employers enrol and pay for groups of employees?

Yes. A corporate account buys seats in bulk, receives a GST invoice with its GSTIN, and assigns seats by email or CSV upload. The company coordinator sees enrolment, progress and completion for their own staff, with detailed scores shown only as your policy and the learner's consent allow. Unused seats can be reassigned within the validity period you set, and repeat purchases reuse the same account.
