Credential ID
What is Credential ID?
A unique identifier assigned to a professional certificate that enables independent verification of its authenticity by employers or third parties. Credential IDs are typically included on certificate documents and can be entered into a verification page to confirm the holder's name, course, and issue date without contacting the issuing organisation directly.
Example in practice
A recruiter who receives a CV listing an AI certification would enter the credential ID into the issuing platform's verification page to confirm the certificate is genuine and was awarded to the named candidate.
