No assessments match those filters.
Every certificate is blockchain-verified. Build your team from VAs whose skills are independently provable.
No crypto knowledge required — here’s what they are and why they matter.
It’s a digital certificate recorded on a blockchain (a public, tamper-proof ledger). Once Linkage issues it, no one — not even us — can secretly alter the holder, score, or date. Think of it as a credential that carries its own built-in proof of authenticity.
A traditional certificate is just a PDF that can be faked. An NFT certificate can be verified independently: an employer enters the certificate ID on our /verify page and instantly confirms it’s real, who earned it, and how they scored. No phone calls, no forged screenshots.
No. You take the assessment exactly like any online course. The blockchain part happens behind the scenes — you simply receive a verifiable certificate and a shareable verification link.
Most certifications are valid for 18–24 months. Tools and platforms change, so we offer short renewal assessments to keep your credential current and your profile ranking high with employers.
