Still In Date

Certificates that can be checked

A certificate anyone can check in one scan.

Each certificate you issue has a QR code and a number. A site manager, an employer or an inspector points a phone at it and sees whether it is in date today, on your record.

What you get

In date or out of date, in big letters

The check page is green, amber or red. It shows the person's name, the course, the dates, and your business name and contact details. Nothing else.

Hard to fake

The code leads to your record, not to a picture of a certificate. A certificate you withdraw shows as withdrawn at once, and a copied PDF still points at the real record.

Works without the paper

People can look a certificate up by its number and surname, and each person can get all of theirs again by email.

Your layout

Your logo, colour and signature. A trainer's own signature, an accrediting body's logo, and extra printed lines such as a registration number or truck type.

How it goes

  1. Issue

    Add the course day and paste the list, or let people sign in on their phones.

  2. Hand over

    Download one PDF for the whole class, or email each person their own.

  3. Checked anywhere

    Anyone with a phone camera can scan it. The phone app can check a whole crew, one after another.

Questions

What does someone see when they scan it?

The person's name, the course, the date trained, the date it is valid until, whether that date has passed, and the trainer's name and contact details. The page is not listed in search engines.

Does the person scanning need an app or an account?

No. Any phone camera opens the check page in the browser.

Who decides how long a certificate is valid?

The trainer who issues it, course by course. Still In Date never sets or suggests a period.

What happens to the QR code if a certificate is withdrawn?

It still works, and the page says the certificate was withdrawn by the trainer. The PDF can no longer be downloaded.
