Practical guides
Having your award verified by an employer
An award verified in one click is an award that counts. The verification address is public, opens without an account and shows the title, the date and the validated skills. Here is how to pass it on so that it is genuinely used.
What an employer sees
The verification address shows the title, its date and the validated skills. It opens without an account or sign-up, a condition set at design time: an award you can only check by creating an account is not checked, it is ignored. The descriptive supplement completes that reading for anyone needing the hourly detail.
- The exact title of the path completed
- The date of issuance
- The validated skills, as attested
- Direct access, with no account and no phone call
Passing on your award effectively
- 01
Open the link before sending it
Check what it shows. You will know exactly what your contact will read, and you can comment on it.
- 02
Put the address in the message body
A visible link gets opened; an attachment gets forgotten. One line is enough, with the title's name.
- 03
Attach the supplement if the role calls for it
For a technical role or an equivalence, the hourly detail and validated units make the difference.
- 04
Connect the award to an output
A portfolio piece illustrates what the award attests. Proof and demonstration answer each other.
- 05
Anticipate the level question
The supplement states study hours and skills. Those are the two elements a recruiter compares.
Three audiences, three uses
| Audience | What they look for | What you send |
|---|---|---|
| A recruiter | Quick, reliable confirmation | The verification address, in the message body |
| A technical manager | The real content of the skills | The descriptive supplement and a portfolio piece |
| An equivalence office | Study hours and standard applied | The descriptive supplement, in full |

Verification questions
Does the employer need to contact you?
Verification is designed to work without us: the address is public, opens without an account and shows the title, the date and the validated skills. That autonomy is what makes it actually used.
What if a recruiter asks for a signed statement?
Send the verification address, which stands as a direct check, and the descriptive supplement for the detail. Write to us with your identifier if a specific format is requested: the answer arrives within two working days.
How does a foreign employer read the award?
Through the descriptive supplement, which details study hours, validated skills and the standard applied. Those are the three elements an equivalence office examines, and they come with every award issued.
