EAF Starts Using Blockchain Verification for Certificates

August 6, 2021

EdTech Certificate verified with Blockchain

As the number of EAF certified companies is continuously growing it has become increasingly important to ensure the validity of each EAF certificate.

 

Beginning from August 15th we are taking action to prevent false certification use by using blockchain verification to Education Alliance Finland certificates. The verification is done using VerifyED's technology to ensure certifications are protected and instantly verified.

 

In practice this means that all EAF Certified companies will receive a unique weblink where their blockchain verified certificate diploma is available. Organizations can then share the link and access it through QR-code as well. We encourage certified companies to add the web link or QR-code in marketing materials to increase credibility and ensure the audience that your Pedagogical Quality Certificate is valid.  

 

"We are so excited and proud to be a partner of Education Alliance Finland, the very first partner of VerifyEd that is issuing blockchain-backed 'product certificates' for any educational product/platform that meets their high standards."

Yaz El Hakim, CEO, VerifyED
