European leader in online training, the Skill and You Group offers, through its 14 historic schools, nearly 200 diploma, certificate or trade training courses in sectors with high employability potential.

Skill and You, which brings together EduCatel and more than a dozen other schools, is the first 100% online training group to acquire blockchain certificates to secure and enhance its students’ training and skills certificates. Here is an example: click here.

Dimitri Chevtchenko, Technical Director of Skill and You, says:

We are committed to remaining the leader in our field by using new technologies and constantly innovating. The blockchain technology seemed obvious to us and I am sure that it will offer even more use cases in the future. Online training must meet the new uses of our students and this project was born as a result of our field listening approach.

Technology only makes sense if it responds to an expectation, and the digitalization of training certificates allows us to improve the employability of our students. In our approach, the technical aspects are clear in order to focus the product on its ease of use. We develop our own LMS (Learning Management System) internally which allows us to keep control to interface very quickly with innovative startup solutions such as BCdiploma.

Skill and You and BCdiploma are both part of the Edtech France association and it was important for me to work with a player in this ecosystem to promote Edtech in France.

Skill and You introduces the advantages of its new blockchain service on its website:

#1 Your certificate is saved and accessible online via a simple secure url link, with no time limit. You are thus assured that you will never lose or damage it!

#2 Your certificate is secure and tamper-proof: the data, stored on the blockchain, can no longer be modified. It is today the highest level of security and authenticity on the market.

#3 Your personal data is protected: BCdiploma has patented a cryptographic protocol that protects your personal data.

#4 Your certificate is publishable on Linkedin & social networks. This highlighting is a real asset for your profile, which will allow you to gain visibility with recruiters. You can also print your certificate in PDF or use its QR Code.

#5 Your certificate is a pledge of credibility. Your certificate of competence secured in the blockchain is a guarantee for recruiters. It allows you to stand out at the time of recruitment and is a real guarantee of credibility.

Latifa Idrissi, Educational Director of Skill and You, enlightens us on the group’s approach:

Generalizing this technology will allow more traceability of competence and long-term follow-up. We can see the blockchain as the safe of the skill!
