Certific
The Custom Credential component inside Turbine's Proof of Experience artifact
Certific turns validated work evidence into verifiable, issued credentials—with governance, audit logs, and a public verification surface. When Proof of Experience compiles "what happened" (work + learning + validation), Certific is what "seals it" into a credential that can be shared, verified, renewed, and reported.
Whether you're running Apprentage (Registered Apprenticeship), continuing education, or internal L&D, Certific helps you standardize what "qualified" means and confidently prove it.

Certific's Role in the Proof of Experience Artifact
Turning validated work evidence into verifiable credentials with governance and audit trails
How Certific Connects to "Proof" (Evidence Inputs)
Proof of Experience is evidence-first: it's fed by work records (OJT/logbooks) that include mentor validation, audit trails, and attachments. Digital logbooks capture hours, tasks, competencies, and notes with evidence attachments and mentor validation (audit trails). Mentor validation turns activity into proof by approving entries in-flow (rather than retroactive sign-offs).
Logbook/VELA + mentor validation creates the defensible evidence trail, and Certific converts that trail into a Custom Credential that can be verified and reported.
What Certific Does in the Artifact
Five core functions that turn evidence into verifiable credentials
Credential Issuance & Renewal
Automatically issues certificates/badges when Proof of Experience requirements are met, with renewal windows
Verification
Publishes verification pages with tamper-evident data so third parties can confirm authenticity
Versioned Mastery
Preserves history of what was issued/renewed/revoked as standards evolve
Compliance Reporting
Produces exportable records for audits and regulatory submissions with full audit trails
Collections & Roles
Issuer governance that restricts who can issue credentials by program, sponsor, or org role
Evidence-First Credentialing
From validated work evidence to verifiable credentials
Certific is the sealing layer in Turbine's Proof of Experience artifact. It takes defensible evidence trails and converts them into credentials that stand up to scrutiny:
- Defensible Evidence Trails - Logbook entries with mentor validation, timestamps, and attachments
- Tamper-Evident Verification - Public verification pages that prove credential authenticity
- Audit-Ready Governance - Complete audit logs of issuance, renewal, and revocation events
- Version Control - Preserves credential history as standards and requirements evolve
Work Evidence → Mentor Validation → Audit Trail → Certific Credential → Public Verification
Key capabilities that match how work actually happens
Proof of Experience Integration
- Seamlessly connects to VELA logbooks and mentor validation workflows
- Converts validated work evidence into verifiable credentials
- Maintains complete audit trails from evidence capture to credential issuance
Credential Governance
- Role-based issuance controls (program, sponsor, organization levels)
- Version control for credential standards and requirements
- Renewal and revocation workflows with audit logging
Public Verification Surface
- Tamper-evident verification pages for third-party validation
- QR code and link-based credential sharing
- Real-time credential status checking
Compliance & Reporting
- Exportable records for audit and regulatory submissions
- Evidence-to-credential mapping for compliance reporting
- Program-level credential analytics and dashboards

Where Certific fits best
Flexible certification for diverse workforce development needs
Certific supports workforce development across multiple sectors and program types
Apprentage (Registered Apprenticeship)
Certific makes apprenticeships easier to govern by converting training and OJT into structured, validated evidence—so completion isn't just "hours logged," it's "skills proven."
Continuing Education (CEUs / Credits)
Track credits, automate reminders, and generate completion reports—without manual spreadsheets.
Employer talent pipelines
Standardize onboarding and upskilling with certifications aligned to job profiles and real work outputs.
Workforce boards and programs
Support consistent credentialing across partners while preserving role-based multi-tenant visibility.
