About SSIP Verify
SSIP Verify is a competency platform for individuals and organisations. It brings training certificates from many approved sources into one trustworthy place — so anyone can check who is qualified, employers can track readiness and expiry, and people carry a passport of their training wherever they go.
Everything SSIP Verify does
One platform for certificate verification, workforce readiness, training intelligence and audit evidence.
Public competency search
Search any person by name and instantly see the certificates they hold, who issued each, and whether they are still valid.
Certificate verification
Confirm a single certificate is genuine by its number, with a clear valid / expiring / expired status and source.
Many approved sources
Any active organisation — and SSIP itself — can feed certificates in via API, so competency from across an industry lands in one place.
Real certificate files
View the actual issued certificate when a source provides it, with an SSIP Verify templated version as a reliable fallback.
Workforce readiness
See total people, who is ready, who is expiring soon and who is not compliant — a clear traffic-light view at a glance.
Training recommendations
Surface the next training each person needs so gaps are closed before they block a job or an allocation.
Course catalogue
Browse the courses behind every certificate and book the right training to keep teams compliant.
Reports & audit evidence
Generate simple, exportable audit evidence to prove who was ready and qualified for any activity.
Audit log
Every verification, record change and key action is logged for a transparent, defensible trail.
Person passport
Each person gets a personal, shareable passport of certificates, expiry dates and recommended next training.
API-ready platform
Push certificates and pull competency data straight into your own workforce, planning and HR tools.
Platform analytics
Platform-wide visibility across every connected organisation, person and certificate for the platform owners.
Built for everyone involved
Role-based dashboards give each person exactly what they need.
Training managers & employer admins
Company-wide compliance at a glance — ready people, expiring soon, gaps to close, reports to export and reminders to send.
Team leaders & supervisors
Check a team's readiness before work, see who is amber or red, and request the training needed to get everyone ready.
Operations planners
Find suitable people for planned activities, avoid allocating non-ready people, and download allocation evidence.
People & learners
Own a personal passport, share a verification link, get expiry reminders and see recommended next training.
SSIP admins
Manage organisations, courses, certificates and support across the whole platform, with full audit and analytics.
How it works
From connecting a source to verifying competency in four steps.
Connect a source
Any active organisation generates an API key and pushes certificates with a shared person reference.
Records become evidence
People, courses and certificates are matched and indexed, with the real file or an SSIP Verify templated version.
Anyone can verify
Search a person or a certificate number and instantly confirm competency, validity and source.
Act with confidence
Track readiness, book training to close gaps, and export audit evidence for every decision.
Connect certificates from any approved source
Any active organisation — and SSIP itself — can feed certificates into SSIP Verify through a simple API. Push the record, optionally include the actual certificate file, and it becomes searchable competency evidence.
- Generate an API key in your dashboard
- Push certificates with a shared person reference
- Attach the real file, link a URL, or use our templated version
- People and certificates appear instantly in search
The WordPress plugin
If you issue certificates through Tutor LMS on a WordPress site, our free plugin does the connecting for you — no code required. Once installed and given your SSIP Verify key, it sends every course completion and certificate into SSIP Verify automatically, links the original certificate page from your site, runs a daily catch-up in case anything is missed, and can push all your past certificates in one click.

}What this means for SSIP and its members
SSIP Verify is the foundation of a wider platform — and a durable position at the centre of competency data.
Become the trust layer
As certificates flow in from many approved sources, SSIP Verify becomes the single trusted place employers check competency.
Extends the SSIP Portal
The SSIP Portal shows which contractors hold a recognised assessment. SSIP Verify goes one level deeper — the competency of the individual employees within those companies.
Safer procurement decisions
Buyers can check that the people turning up on site are trained and in date — not just that their employer is accredited.
A platform, not just a service
An API-first foundation positions SSIP for a wider platform — competency today, deeper intelligence next.
