Digital certification management for awarding and testing bodies

Bring Every Certification Program Into One Platform

Give certification bodies one secure place to issue certificates, maintain reliable records, and make verification simpler for regulators, clients, and certificate holders.

Simplify Third-Party Verification

Every certificate links to a live verification record, helping regulators, employers, and business partners confirm its issuer and current status without adding work for your team.

Issue Certificates at Scale

Automate issuance after an approved assessment outcome or upload a complete cohort in bulk. Reduce repetitive administration while your certification body retains control of every decision.

Expiry and Renewal Management

Monitor validity across every certification program, notify certificate holders before expiry, and reissue credentials only after your renewal requirements are complete.

Support Accreditation Reviews

Keep credential data, status changes, and issuer details together so your team can produce a clear record during accreditation, surveillance, or regulatory review.

Represent Every Scheme Clearly

Tailor the certificate design, standard, scope, and validity details for personnel, management system, and product certification without losing a consistent organizational identity.

Extend Trusted Recognition

Let certificate holders share verified achievements online while the credential always points back to the certification body and the program that issued it.

Enterprise-Grade Security

At Wauld, security isn't an afterthought. It is foundational! We implement enterprise-grade protocols and follow globally recognized standards to safeguard your data at every touchpoint.

Build branded templates with the holder, certified scope, applicable standards, issue date, validity, and other fields your scheme specifies. You retain control over the content required for each certificate.

QR verification for certification bodies
Live QR certificate verification

A unique QR code connects each certificate to its online status. Third parties can verify who issued it, what it covers, and whether it remains valid at the time of the check.

Certification platform integrations

FAQs

Answers about managing certificates, verification, accreditation records, and renewals for awarding and testing bodies.

How does Wauld support the certification process for awarding bodies?

Wauld manages the credential workflow after your authorized team records a certification decision. You can create a certificate, issue it automatically or in bulk, track its status, and give third parties a direct way to verify it. Your organization remains responsible for the assessment, certification decision, and applicable scheme requirements.

Is accreditation the same as certification, and does Wauld provide either one?

No. Certification is third-party assurance that a person, product, process, service, or management system meets specified requirements. Accreditation is formal recognition of a conformity assessment body's competence to perform specific tasks. Wauld is credential management software and does not accredit certification bodies, conduct assessments, or make certification decisions.

Can certification bodies manage different programs and standards in Wauld?

Yes. Certification bodies can configure separate certificate designs and data fields for personnel, management system, or product certification programs. You decide which standard, scope, validity period, and issuer information should appear. Wauld helps administer the resulting credentials, while your certification program controls the set of requirements and approval pathway.

Can testing laboratories and inspection bodies use Wauld?

Testing and calibration laboratories, inspection bodies, and proficiency testing providers can use Wauld when they need to issue verifiable digital credentials or certificates of completion. Wauld does not replace a laboratory information management system, an accredited test report, or the technical review needed to validate test results.

How does expiry and renewal management work?

Set an expiry date or validity period for each certification program, monitor active and expiring credentials, and send automated renewal reminders. When the certification body confirms that renewal requirements are complete, the credential can be updated or reissued with a new validity period.

Can regulators, clients, and business partners verify a certificate?

Yes. Each digital certificate has a unique verification page and QR code. A regulator, client, employer, or other third party can check the issuer, recipient, status, and credential details online without contacting your team. The verification record supports due diligence, but it does not replace any regulatory directory or national accreditation body register.

Modernize Your Certification Operations

Give your awarding or testing body one secure platform for certificate issuance, third-party verification, and expiry and renewal management.
