How checking works

  1. 1Every certificate gets its own number and QR code
  2. 2Someone scans the QR or types the number
  3. 3This page looks it up in the institute’s own records
  4. 4It shows “real”, “cancelled” or “not found”

Step by step: checking with a phone

  1. 1
    Open the phone camera

    Any phone camera or QR scanner app works.

  2. 2
    Point it at the QR code

    It is in the bottom corner of the certificate.

  3. 3
    Tap the link that appears

    It opens this page with the number already filled in.

  4. 4
    Read the result

    Green means real. Yellow means cancelled. Red means it is not ours.

Good to know
  • If a certificate is given by mistake, the office can cancel it. This page will then say “cancelled”.
  • Companies can check a new employee’s certificate in seconds, without calling you.
  • Want to see the QR on a certificate? Open the Design Studio and click the QR code.
