About

Trust infrastructure for training, built for Africa

Certified Africa exists because a training certificate is only as good as someone's ability to check it. Most credentials in circulation today are a static PDF or a printed page, easy to photocopy, easy to falsify, and impossible for an employer or the public to independently confirm.

We built a different model, approved trainers and businesses issue certificates through us, every one gets a cryptographically signed record and a public verification page, and certified individuals get a searchable, hireable directory profile they control. Nothing is issued until an applicant is reviewed and approved by a person, the "Certified" mark is only worth something because it isn't automatic.

Certified Africa is a product of Sun Media Limited, and operates across the African continent rather than any single country.

Product pillars

What we actually do

  • Issuer trust layer

    Businesses and trainers apply and are approved before they can issue anything.

  • Certificate design & generation

    We design the certificate, brand-consistent, reusable per issuer, so issuers never touch design tools.

  • Verification

    Any certificate, or any certified individual, can be looked up and cryptographically confirmed authentic.

  • Public directory & hire layer

    The public discovers certified people by skill and location, and can contact them directly.

Certified gold seal

The gold seal is our own trust mark, fixed, non-configurable, and identical on every certificate we issue, regardless of which business or trainer is behind it.
