As cases of forgery are multiplying, it is now paramount for the school to address this issue and secure students diplomas and certificates. So, with the help of the BCDiploma start-up, former member of our accelerator and previously located at the F Station, emlyon business school is dematerializing and automating this documents.
The blockchain certification will come as a complementary feature to the paper diploma or certificate and will be a means to prove the authenticity of training and credentials all throughout the professional career. With just one click, the diploma or certificate is displayed, along with a whole range of elements to prove its authenticity. It will guarantee our graduates an unalterable proof of their experience. For recruiters and other Higher Education schools, this is a mark of confidence and quality, free of the administrative burden.
The technology developed for the blockchain certification is widening the scope of possibilities: other Higher Education schools will soon be able to implement the certification of all their documents, thereby greatly reducing the fraud risk.
