Online Certificate Verification Page


OpenEDG has created an online system to verify all C++ Institute credentials held by candidates all over the world. Candidates may now have others easily verify their certification status by using a unique certificate verification code. The certificate verification code can be found on all certificates issued by C++ Institute in the bottom right-hand corner.


If you wish to authenticate a certificate issued to an individual, visit our Certificate Verification page and enter the candidate’s verification code for each certification they hold. After entering the verification code, you will be presented with authentication details relating to the holder of the certificate.


Direct link to a digital transcript

Each candidate who holds a certification issued by C++ Institute can present a direct link to their digital transcript. This link takes the following form: https://verify.openedg.org/?id=AAAA.BBBB.CCCC/ – in which the four letters A, four letters B, and four letters C constitute a unique 12-character verification code. Example: https://verify.openedg.org/?id=30JZ.HI9U.sixS.


Certification Badges

Learning, employment, and advancement opportunities are intertwined, but a career path rarely follows a straight line. C++ Institute wants to recognize your learning achievements and skills in a way that connects you with opportunities that can serve as milestones along your career path. That’s why we issue digital credentials through Credly platform.

Digital credentials are portable, verifiable, and uniquely linked to you. They also ensure that your hard-earned achievements are owned by you, not us – you can access and utilize your digital credential whenever, however you see fit. Digital credentials make you – and your achievements – more visible to employers and your professional network.


Share Your Achievements with Your Network

Your skills, competencies, and certifications are worth more than a static bullet point on a resume or a paper certificate hanging on the wall in your office. When represented as a digital credential, you can share your achievements with your network in one click from Credly platform.

Peers and employers can verify and learn more about what it is you can do thanks to earning a digital credential from the C++ Institute. And research shows that professionals who share their digital credentials to professional networking sites are discovered by employers, on average, six times more often than those who do not.
