Tool certifications
A short practical task in one tool, reviewed by a person. Pass or fail, with nothing in between.

The only thing on this platform that is assessed rather than claimed. Everything else about your expertise is self-rated, and the profile says so.
How it works
- Ask to be certified in a tool that is already on your profile. Your ID has to be verified.
- You get a task brief: a short, practical piece of work in that tool.
- You do it, record your screen while you do, and submit both.
- Somebody reviews it against a written rubric and approves it, asks for changes, or declines.
Pass or fail
No percentage, no grade, no expiry, and no effect on your profile score. You are certified in a tool or you are not.
Adding it to the score would make a credential about competence into a number about completeness, and those are different things.
What the brief contains
Every brief embeds a unique fictional business name that has to appear in your deliverable. That is what stops old portfolio work being resubmitted as a new task, and it is why the recording matters: the work has to be done in your own account, now.
The questions you were asked and the rubric you were judged against are both frozen with your submission, so editing either afterwards cannot change what you appear to have been asked or what a reviewer appears to have judged.
