FAQ

What is a Verified Credential (VC), and what does having one mean for me as a professional?

The Verified Credential is a digital representation of your earned credential, stored in a digital wallet. Your certifications will be issued as verified credentials directly to your wallet. It’s like having a digital wallet for your professional achievements.

How will companies verify someone holding a Verified Credential?

Companies can use a QR code linked to your verified credential or a unique URL provided from your digital wallet.

Will the digital wallet be available on phones (Android/iPhone), iPads, tablets, etc.?

Yes, the digital wallet will be available as a mobile phone app (fall 2024) and a web page experience (now).

How does this differ from Digital Badging?

Verified credentials in a digital wallet are validated by trusted sources using encryption for security, giving you additional privacy and control over where and how they are shared.

Will this replace printed memberships?

The program aims to one day replace hard copy membership IDs. Until regulations are updated, printed certificates will also continue to be used.

What if I don’t trust technology or have other issues with Verified Credentials

The digital wallet is like your personal vault for storing Verified Credentials. They keep these important documents secure, accessible and under your control. The issuer of the Verified Credential retains the ability to suspend or revoke any credential it issues.

While no technology is perfectly secure, we believe this technology offers a level of tamper and fraud resistance unlike any other before it. Certainly, much more than today’s paper-based cards and certificates.

You will also continue to receive your paper-based certificate, as this remains a regulatory audit requirement in Canada.

What additional features do the credentials have?

Encryption: Advanced encryption methods keep your data locked up tight.

Decentralized Security: Many different security systems work together, making it tough for anyone to mess with your info.

You’re the Boss: You have full control over who can access your credentials and when.

Trusted Sources Only: Only credible organizations can provide credentials for your vault.

Universal Understanding: They all speak the same language, meaning your credentials are safe and accessible across different platforms.
