An Expert credential, up close.

This is the exact artwork a graduate receives once they pass the Expert exam. Every credential ships with a public verification page so a hiring manager can confirm authenticity in two clicks. The example below uses sample data.

ZopDev Certified Expert, Level 3 badge
Anatomy

Every certificate carries five things.

So a hiring manager who has never seen ZopDev University can still verify it in one minute.

  1. 01

    The seal

    The tier badge in the corner: zopdev University, the certificate name (Associate, Professional or Expert) and its level (1, 2 or 3). Every credential carries the same badge for its tier, so the artifact is instantly recognizable.

  2. 02

    The recipient and program

    The holder's name, and one line naming the zopdev University program they completed and the level it certifies.

  3. 03

    The credential ID

    Stable, monospace, unique. Format ZDU-XX-YYYY-XXXX-XXXX. A hiring manager can paste this into the verify page.

  4. 04

    The verify page

    Printed under the ID. Public, no login: open zop.dev/resources/university/certifications/verify/, paste the ID, and it returns the holder's name, the level, the issue date and the issuer. Nothing else. Privacy-respectful by design.

  5. 05

    The issue date

    The day the credential was issued, on the Date rule. Authenticity comes from the credential ID and the verify page, not a signature.
