Run your certification program like the standards body you are.
Your credential carries the weight of your organization. The platform behind it should match that standard. Credostar gives professional associations and certifying bodies the open-standards infrastructure to issue credentials that belong to the holder and verify anywhere a recipient takes them.

Where current tooling falls short.
-
Per-seat platform pricing punishes growth
You add a thousand new certified members, your bill triples. The platform takes a cut of every recipient you serve.
-
Your members are locked into one vendor
When the badge platform changes terms, raises prices, or sunsets a feature, your members have no exit. That is your reputation on the line.
-
The badge does not work outside the platform
Proprietary badge formats only verify on the issuing vendor’s site. Move off, and every credential you issued becomes a dead link.
The fit
Open standards, your domain, your members.
Credentials in the W3C VC format issued under your brand from your subdomain. CE cycles, exam pipelines, public registry. Pricing scales with what you issue, not with how many members you have.
-
W3C Verifiable Credentials, native
Every credential you issue is a portable W3C VC. Members hold it independently of us. It verifies anywhere, indefinitely.
-
Recurring certification cycles
Configure CE requirements, renewal windows, and grace periods. Members see exactly what they need to do to stay current.
-
Exam integration via API
Connect your testing provider. Pass triggers issuance automatically. No manual roster reconciliation.
-
Public registry on your domain
Hosted under a subdomain of your own (cert.yourorg.com). Employers verify members directly through your brand.
In practice
What this looks like in your workflow.
Professional certifications with CE requirements
PMP-style certifications where holders earn continuing education credits over a renewal cycle. Members see their CE progress, renewal deadline, and required courses at a glance. Renewals issue a fresh credential without breaking the member’s ID.
Industry-specific accreditations
Engineering, healthcare, accounting, IT. Fields where the credential carries career weight. Hold the standards body credential and run an exam-based pipeline that issues only to those who pass.
Multi-tier certifications
Foundation, associate, expert tiers. Members move up over time. Each level is its own credential with prerequisites enforced at issuance.
Continuing education tracking
Members upload evidence of approved CE activity. The platform tracks toward the renewal threshold and surfaces the gap publicly to members and privately to administrators.
