Smart Certificates As A Marketing Tool

Most of us think that certificates are useful for the receiver of the certificate. They can use it to understand their skillset, get a job or further improve their educational background. And these are all correct! But smart certificates on the other hand, offer much more and not only to the receiver.

First things first: What is a Smart Certificate?#

Most of you may have never heard of the term "Smart Certificate".

Because it really is smart. Keep reading and you may find that the normal, boring certificates you knew are long gone!

** Smart Certificate** is the 21st century version of the certification system, which is the best way of presenting someone’s skill set. Compared to printed certificates, smart certificates have a lot of benefits, are an undeniable need and a method for documenting social skills in an increasingly digitised world.

The Smart Certificates of Sertifier are impossible to be faked thanks to the unique serial numbers and time stamps.
