Igrowker Certification Standards

1. Public registration through Credential Engine

Certifications issued by Igrowker are registered in Credential Engine, the U.S. entity dedicated to the standardization, cataloging, and transparent publication of academic and professional credentials. Its infrastructure is used by state agencies, accrediting bodies, and operates in coordination with the U.S. Department of Education to promote open data and common standards for describing and validating credentials.

Registration in Credential Engine provides:

• Recognition across the U.S. education and employment ecosystem, as credentials become part of a public catalog consulted by employers and institutions.
• Verifiable traceability, through structured information following the open CTDL (Credential Transparency Description Language).
• Institutional transparency, ensuring objectives, structure, and evaluation criteria are public, consistent, and comparable to other professional credentials.

2. Individual verification through unique code

Every credential issued by Igrowker includes a unique 16-digit alphanumeric code that allows verification of authenticity, ownership, issuance date, and completed program through our institutional validation system, following practices equivalent to leading credentialing platforms.

3. Competency-based assessment

Certification is granted only when the participant meets measurable performance criteria, including professional documentation, technical artifacts, functional deliverables, and expert-reviewed evaluations.

4. Standards for documentation transparency

All programs specify scope, objectives, assessed learning outcomes, approval criteria, and evaluation methods, in accordance with the transparency expectations of the U.S. education and labor market.

European Certification Framework

Although Igrowker LLC is a U.S.-registered entity, our certifications adhere to the principles used across the European Union for micro-credentials and competency-based certifications.

Each credential is structured following:

• EQF — European Qualifications Framework

Used to describe autonomy, responsibility, complexity, and problem-solving capacity, supporting interpretation of professional level.

• ESCO — European Skills, Competences and Occupations

Used to define technical and transversal skills according to the taxonomy applied by EU organizations, universities, and employers.

Learning outcomes

Each certification clearly specifies the knowledge, skills, and competences that participants must demonstrate, consistent with EU guidance for micro-credentials.

Performance evidence

Certification requires verifiable evidence: functional deliverables, technical documentation, participation in evaluation instances, and defense of the submitted work.

Quality and transparency principles

Igrowker certifications follow strict criteria for clarity and academic rigor.

The official PDF credential includes total hours, content covered, assessed competencies, and approval criteria. Each certification also contains a unique verification code that can be validated through our public verification platform.

This ensures employers and reviewers can accurately understand the scope of training and the competences awarded.
