Government agencies, schools, companies, and nonprofits use Certrust to issue credentials for real programs.

Government

Issue verifiable certificates for civic training, licensing programs, and public-sector workshops that citizens can check.

Education

Universities, schools, and training providers issue diplomas, course completions, and micro-credentials at graduation or course-end.

Private & Corporate

Certify employees and partners after internal training, compliance courses, or professional development programs.

NGOs & Nonprofits

Issue certificates for workshops, seminars, and community programs — without a budget for recipient accounts or licenses.

02 — What it does

One platform for the whole credential lifecycle

Design a template, issue it to your people, and let them prove it anywhere.
