Any student can write a skill on a CV. What makes it worth anything is attestation — a trusted teacher, principal, or mentor digitally signing to confirm an achievement is real, evidenced, and verified.
Universities and employers receive thousands of applications. When every candidate claims the same skills and experiences, how do decision-makers know what's real? Self-reported records are easy to inflate — and impossible to verify without time-consuming follow-up.
Attestation solves this. When a trusted educator digitally signs an achievement, it becomes a verifiable fact — not a claim. The entire trust chain is cryptographically secured and instantly accessible.
Five clear steps from achievement to tamper-proof verified record — simple for students, easy for educators.
The student adds a skill, project, credential, or experience to their Skill Passport with any supporting evidence — images, links, documents, or notes.
The student sends an attestation request to a specific teacher, principal, or mentor — the person most appropriate to verify that achievement.
The teacher or mentor receives the request, reviews the achievement and any supporting evidence, and decides whether to approve, decline, or request more information.
The approver digitally signs the achievement. Their identity and role are cryptographically linked to the record — making it impossible to alter without detection.
The attested achievement is permanently and securely added to the student's Skill Passport — a verified, lifelong entry that any verifier can confirm instantly.
