Certi is a service that turns paper awards, certificates, licenses, and course completion records into digital badges built on the international standard. Upload an Excel list, and Certi sends the badges by KakaoTalk (AlimTalk notifications in Korea) and email. You can also give a PDF certificate with the same details. Certi is run by NFTIME Inc.

Universities, public institutions, and companies use Certi. Hoseo University uses Certi across the whole university, connected to its academic system and extracurricular programs. Korea University (K-MOOC), the AID courses for working professionals at Kwangwoon University and Jaeneung University, the Gachon University Semiconductor Specialized University Program, the National Science Museum (Korea), the Ministry of Education’s 300+ Promising Student Startup Teams, and the SK hynix Heinstein program have also issued badges with Certi. See our customer stories for details.

Five reasons. 1) Badges go out by KakaoTalk notification, so recipients don’t miss them. 2) You give a digital badge and a PDF certificate in your institution’s format at the same time. 3) Our prices are public, and issuer verification and your organization page come at no extra cost. 4) Certi is certified for the international Open Badges 2.0 and 3.0 standards. 5) Data is encrypted and stored on servers in Korea, and our team answers your questions directly.

Yes. You create and issue badges in the admin dashboard, so no development work is needed. You only need the API if you want badges to go out automatically from your academic system or learning platform.

The same day you sign up. Checking your organization’s documents takes 1–3 business days, but you can use the service right away while that happens. Once the check is done, a blue verified mark appears next to your organization’s name on the platform.

Any proof that shows who achieved what: certificates of completion, awards, licenses, course completion records, participation confirmations, and activity certificates. They are often used for extracurricular programs, short courses, contests and competitions, event participation, and in-house training.
