Digital Credential Strategy Review
Make the credentials you award something employers can trust.
We review how your credentials are issued, shared and checked today, what employers and learners actually need from them, and which digital credential approach fits your organization. The review is free and vendor-honest.

The problem
A PDF certificate can't prove much
Employers can't tell what's genuine
A certificate is a file that can be edited in any browser, so the checking comes back to you by email.
Pain point 01
Checks are answered one at a time
Every verification request is a person looking something up and replying by hand.
Pain point 02
A withdrawn credential keeps circulating
Once shared, a lapsed or withdrawn certificate has no way to say so.
Pain point 03
What you’ll get
Five deliverables. Zero fluff.

Employers keep emailing us to check certificates. What are our options?

Where does Sublime LMS™ stand on digital credentials?
Message Ask ZionStar…
What teams ask before booking.
Where does Sublime LMS™ stand on digital credentials?
Today it issues completion certificates against each learner record. W3C-compatible verified credentials, public verification pages and an employer verification API are on our roadmap, and we are recruiting design partners to shape them.
Do we need to choose a technology first?
No. The review starts with what your credentials need to prove and to whom; the technology choice follows.
What is a design partner?
An organization that helps shape a roadmap capability before release by sharing requirements and reviewing early designs. It is optional, and nothing about the review depends on it.
Is the review free?
Yes. The session and the written plan are free of charge.
