We digitized over 500,000 Public Academic Records. Many of these records contain Name spelling errors, incomplete and incoherent data. To verify your credentials and update this data, we would need your Verified Name via your NIN.
After confirming your Identity, you can search the Public Academic Records for your credentials. We match your Verified name with the Public Academic Records and present you with your records, simply add it to your Profile.
Your course mates belong to the same record set. Invite them to verify your record. They only need to answer three simple questions. The more course mates that verify your information, the stronger your Verification Score. Hint: Invite your course mates and not just anyone. We continually work with Tertiary Institutions to improve the Verification Score.
Verified Credentials stand you out in the job market. Share your Credential Profile with Employers and Hiring Managers. Together, we reduce Credential Fraud and empower both you and Employers with Verified Credentials.
