- How can certificates be verified by employers? Employers can verify the authenticity of the certificate through a link to the certificate provided by the candidate or via a digital badge. Once the link or badge has been clicked, the employer can verify the certificate by clicking on the ‘verify credential’ button. If a candidate has provided a printed digital certificate, the employer can use the QR code printed on the certificate to be taken to the certificate verification. Click for more information.
