The operating system for construction qualifications.
SkillCertify is the compliance platform that connects candidates, assessors, centres and awarding bodies. It captures every piece of evidence, checks it is complete before review, and keeps an audit-ready record by default.
It removes the administrative friction that holds centres back, without touching standards, governance or the human decision.
Assessor cockpit
Ofqual-regulated qualificationsThe standards aren't broken. The execution is.
Qualification delivery runs on email threads, photos in messaging apps, spreadsheets and paper. Evidence is gathered opportunistically and assembled long after the fact.
Worse, the same information is entered twice: once into the centre's own tracker, then re-keyed into the awarding body's portal. Assessors lose their days chasing files and rebuilding portfolios instead of judging competence, and audit trails are reconstructed rather than recorded.
One controlled process, from first task to final card.
Every submission follows the same set route. Each step has to clear before the next can start, and everything is logged.
Capture
Candidates submit video, photo, documents and recorded discussions through guided missions with explicit, criteria-mapped requirements.
Check
Automated controls verify identity, completeness and integrity. AI structures the evidence. Nothing incomplete ever reaches an assessor.
Verify
Assessors review structured, criteria-aligned evidence bundles and make clear, accountable human decisions on competence.
Certify
Verified outcomes flow to IQA, the awarding body and the CSCS card application as one continuous, audit-ready record.
The NVQ engine candidates actually use.
This is what an NVQ feels like on SkillCertify. Each unit becomes a guided mission that breaks competence down into small, specific tasks. The candidate just works through them. No portfolio templates, no guessing what counts as evidence.
NVQ · BricklayingDrop it all in. See how close they are.
Candidates and employers upload everything they already have: site photos, payslips, references, old certificates. The platform reads it, matches each item to the qualification criteria, and shows in seconds how close someone is.
If they are close enough, it flags them for a fast-track route straight away. The AI only ever sorts and organises the evidence. Every decision still belongs to a qualified assessor.
Assessors verify. The platform handles the admin.
Every action is timestamped, tied to a named person, and locked so it cannot be changed after the fact. IQA and EQA stop piecing evidence together after the event and simply read one clear timeline.
Technology is used carefully, for one job: getting evidence ready and in order. It never awards a qualification, and it never replaces the assessor's judgement.
Works with any awarding body. Built to shine with GQA.
SkillCertify is awarding-body agnostic. Bring whichever organisation accredits your centre and the controlled workflow adapts to their rules. We have built it around GQA on purpose: they are principle-aligned with everything this platform stands for, and their One Stop Shop already brings the qualification, the Health and Safety test and the CSCS card together. If your centre is GQA-approved, you can put the platform to work straight away.
Trained, tested, carded
Role qualification, the GQA Health and Safety test (an approved equivalent to the CITB HS&E test) and the CSCS card, coordinated in one journey rather than three separate processes.
CSCS Alliance recognised
GQA is a CSCS Alliance member and an authorised issuer of CSCS cards, so carding runs through a fully recognised, compliant route with guidance straight from CSCS.
Approved centres, ready to go
Already GQA-approved? SkillCertify slots into how you work, no re-accreditation and no rebuild. Not with GQA? The platform still runs with your awarding body; you simply manage more of the carding yourself.
The full CSCS card ladder, Green to Black.
One platform takes a worker from their first day on site to running it. Each card builds on the last, on a single record that follows them through their whole career.
Green · Labourer
Level 1 course plus the CSCS HS&E test. The first step onto any UK site.
Blue · Skilled Worker
NVQ Level 2, completed remotely with no site visits. Fast-track where existing evidence allows.
Gold · Supervisor
NVQ Level 3 for advanced craft and site supervisors. Remote assessment supported.
Black · Manager
NVQ Level 6 or 7 in Construction Management. Portfolio and professional interview.
The UK gold standard, now qualifying the UAE.
UK construction qualifications are recognised worldwide as a mark of real, assessed competence. SkillCertify brings that gold standard to UAE companies, delivered remotely across the Emirates without pulling crews off site. The Gulf workforce is largely from India and South Asia, so the engine works in Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil and Urdu as readily as in Arabic and English.
The timing matters. New regulation is making assessed competence a legal requirement, not a nice-to-have, and contractors need a fast, defensible way to get their people certified.
Certificate of Competence
Zeus House, LondonSee it live at our flagship centre.
SkillCertify is the platform. It is not a centre, it is the operating layer that centres run on. Our central London flagship centre, skillcertify.co.uk, is the first to run on it, where every workflow is proven with real candidates before it reaches yours.
Visit skillcertify.co.ukMore profitable and more compliant. Not a trade-off.
Margin in qualification delivery has usually meant cutting corners. SkillCertify breaks that link. The profit comes from removing waste, never from lowering standards, so every commercial gain is also a compliance gain.
Revenue up
Assessors verify instead of chase, so each one can take on more candidates. Renewals and progression add recurring income on the same record.
Cost down
Incomplete work is blocked before review, so resubmissions and rework fall away. There is no platform to build and no infrastructure to own.
Risk down
Every action is logged and audit-ready, so EQA sampling and regulatory review carry far less exposure for the centre.
