Grades Show What They Learned.
Their Skill Passport Shows What They Can Do.
Bring together skills, projects, experiences, credentials and achievements in one verified learner identity — student-owned, teacher-attested, and built for university, scholarships, internships, and careers.
A Skill Passport is a student-owned digital learner record that brings together verified skills, projects, experiences, credentials and achievements in one trusted profile. Unlike a traditional resume or transcript, it captures evidence and independent verification across the learner's entire journey — from school through university and into career.
Why Grades and Transcripts Are Not the Complete Picture
Academic grades measure an important subset of learning. But they cannot capture projects built, skills demonstrated, or real-world experiences gained.
What a transcript shows
- Examination performance in assessed subjects
- Formal qualifications earned
- Attendance and module completion
What a Skill Passport adds
- Verified skills with teacher attestation
- Projects, internships, and experiences
- Open Badges and verified credentials
- Awards, competitions, community contributions
- A lifelong, portable record the student owns

How Verification Works
The trust chain behind every SkillStory Skill Passport.
Student logs an achievement
The student records their achievement with a description, dates, and supporting evidence — documents, photos, links, or project files.
Student requests attestation
The student selects a trusted educator — teacher, principal, mentor, or employer — and sends them an attestation request.
Educator reviews and signs
The educator reviews the submitted evidence and digitally signs their approval. No SkillStory account required — the entire process happens via email link.
Achievement is cryptographically sealed
The signed record is locked — tamper-proof, timestamped, and permanently linked to the attesting educator's identity.
Anyone can verify instantly
A public verification link is generated. Universities, scholarship committees, and employers click it to confirm the achievement is genuine — no login, no emails to the school.
