The problem it solves

Creating certificates one by one for every course graduate or event attendee is tedious, and keeping track of who has a valid certificate is even harder. Without a central record, you have no easy way to confirm a certificate is genuine when someone asks.

Who it fits

Training programs, course creators, and event organizers who issue completion certificates.

How it works

  1. A completed registration submits a person's name, course, and email
  2. A unique certificate ID is generated and saved to a central record
  3. A branded PDF certificate is created with their name, course, and ID
  4. The certificate is emailed to them automatically
  5. Anyone can check a certificate ID later to confirm it is genuine

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
