Beyond the transcript
A transcript records part of the journey. A Skill Passport connects the whole journey.
The transcript remains an authoritative academic record. The Skill Passport extends the learner record by representing broader evidence of what the learner has achieved and demonstrated.

An institution keeps its role as issuer and attestor. Learners gain a richer, portable view of the achievement behind each credential.
The connected learner record
A Skill Passport is more than a certificate wallet.
It is the learner-facing record that brings issuer-backed credentials together with skills, projects, experiences, achievements and evidence—then gives the learner a way to carry and share that record over time.
Your institution recognises achievement. The learner can make that achievement part of a continuing story.

The record, made tangible
Everything the learner achieves. One connected record.
Different kinds of achievement can sit together without losing where they came from or what supports them.
SKILLS
Technical, transferable and domain-specific capabilities.
PROJECTS
Research, applications, designs, code, publications and work.
EXPERIENCES
Internships, volunteering, leadership and other meaningful activity.
ACHIEVEMENTS
Awards, distinctions, recognitions and accomplishments.
ATTESTATIONS
Trusted confirmations from educators, mentors or authorised parties.
EVIDENCE
Documents, links, outputs and supporting material connected to the work.
Trust, with provenance
A learner record is more valuable when someone else can trust it.
A CV says“I have this skill.”
A portfolio says“Here is my work.”
A Skill Passport adds“Here is the evidence, and here is who verified it.”
A learner can add an achievement and supporting evidence, then request an attestation. An educator or mentor reviews the submission and may approve, decline or ask for more information. An approval is digitally signed.

A relationship that continues
The institution issues the achievement. The learner carries the record.
The issuing institution remains the trusted source of its credential. The learner maintains a portable record that can grow across institutions, learning and work—rather than ending at graduation.

- Internship

Built once. Grows for life.
Make achievement legible
A credential tells you what was awarded. Skills explain what it represents.
Connecting credentials to structured skills helps learners and institutions describe capability with more context. Mapping can draw on ESCO, O*NET or an institution’s own framework, according to the institution’s approach.

LEARNER RECORDAchievement with connected capability
The skill relationship is established through institutional and credential context—not assumed from a certificate title alone.
Capability in context
Show what the learner can do, not just what they completed.
Projects connect learning to tangible work. Research, software, design, business initiatives, community activity, competitions, publications and internship work can all add meaningful context to a learner record.
Project + description
Evidence + supporting material
Skills + demonstrated capability
Attestation + reviewer, where applicable
A presentation layer, not another silo
Turn the learner record into a verified professional profile.
The portfolio is a presentation of the Skill Passport. Learners can curate relevant skills, projects, credentials and experiences for different audiences, while choosing which items are public or private.

Evidence that can travel
A CV supported by verified learner evidence.
A Skill Passport-powered CV can draw on credentials, attested achievements, skills and evidence in the learner record. Learners retain an editable CV and decide how to present their experience for an application.
SKILL PASSPORT→CV→PORTFOLIO→APPLICATION
The record can substantiate selected CV content; it does not automatically verify every CV field.
A comprehensive record, made useful
The Skill Passport is the learner-facing expression of a Comprehensive Learner Record.
A CLR brings a broader view of learning together: credentials, skills, competencies, projects, experiences and achievements. The Skill Passport gives that connected record a learner-facing form that can be carried and shared.

Portability by design
Built to travel with the learner.
Standards-based digital credentials and learner records help institutions issue and learners carry structured achievement. CLR 2.0, Open Badges 3.0 and W3C Verifiable Credentials play distinct roles in this standards landscape.
Portability helps an achievement retain its structure and provenance as it moves beyond the issuing institution. The right system connections and implementation scope are established with each institution.

Trust beyond the learner
Anyone should be able to verify the record.
The value of a Skill Passport is not only that the learner can show it. A recipient can open a public achievement verification link and review who attested, their role, the attestation date and record integrity—without a viewer account.

Public verification applies to attested achievement records. Learner-reported entries and institution-issued credentials retain their own status and source. Read about SkillStory attestation and verification · CertifyMe credential verification.
Connect learner capability to market context
The learner record becomes more valuable when it connects to opportunity.
The Skill Passport provides a learner’s verified capability context. CertifyMe Workforce Intelligence provides market context across occupations, jobs, employers, locations and skill demand. Together, they connect achievement to the wider world of work.
