Ofqual-regulated qualificationsKeep evidence, assessment and quality assurance in one record.
Evidence often arrives through email, messages and separate files. Staff then spend time matching it to candidates and assessment criteria.
For GQA, staff manage registration and card-application tasks through a platform queue and record the result.
From evidence submission to assessment and card application.
Complete the required checks before the next stage begins. Record the evidence, the review and the decision at each stage.
Submit evidence
Candidates submit videos, photos, documents and recorded discussions through tasks linked to the qualification’s assessment criteria.
Check completeness
Required-file and identity checks flag missing information. AI proposes evidence matches for review; an assessor still checks authenticity, sufficiency and the evidence method.
Assess
Assessors review evidence against the qualification criteria and record their decisions.
Quality assure and claim
An internal quality assurer may sample the assessment. Centre staff manage the award claim with the awarding body and any eligible card application.
Show candidates exactly what evidence to submit.
Candidates see the evidence needed for each unit and the tasks awaiting review. The assessor reviews each candidate's workplace evidence against the criteria.
Illustrative candidate task
Record your workplace evidence
Example: building a brick wall. Your actual task follows your qualification's criteria.
- Introduce yourself, your location and the work you will demonstrate.
- Record your own work, showing the preparation, tools and method required by the task.
- Check the recording and submit it for assessor review.
Example status: not submitted
Your assessor checks the evidence and tells you if further observation, discussion or supporting evidence is needed.
Illustrative initial assessment
Possible evidence matches
Awaiting assessor review
- Work history
- Payslips and references can help staff understand the candidate's experience.
- Suggested evidence matches
- A workplace video and finished-work photos may relate to the unit's criteria. The assessor checks their relevance, authenticity and sufficiency.
- Assessor review
- Awaiting assessor review. The assessor checks the suggested match against the qualification criteria.
Suggested next evidence tasks
- Review the suggested match and decide whether more evidence is needed.
- Agree evidence methods required by the qualification.
The assessor agrees the plan and records each decision.
Organise existing evidence before the initial assessment.
Candidates and employers can submit existing workplace evidence, certificates and employment records. AI proposes possible matches to criteria. AI suggestions are for assessor review.
The assessor considers Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), reviews the suggested matches and agrees the evidence plan. Evidence methods are set by the qualification and may include observation, questioning, professional discussion and supporting records.
Review evidence with the decision history beside it.
Evidence submissions and assessment decisions retain timestamps and the staff member responsible in the candidate's audit trail. Corrections are recorded as new entries. Authorised quality assurers can follow the decision history alongside the evidence.
Review submissions and decisions in the candidate record.
Staff can review candidate submissions, assessment decisions and quality assurance history alongside each other.

Launching with our flagship centre on 1 October 2026.
Our flagship centre uses SkillCertify for its Green, Blue, Gold and Black card packages.
Built by the operator of a GQA-approved centre that runs NVQ assessment and CSCS colour-card routes.
View the flagship centreYour centre keeps its candidate relationship.
Your centre keeps its candidate relationship, enrols candidates and arranges assessment. It remains responsible for its awarding body approval. Assessors make assessment decisions, quality assurers review the record, and the awarding body confirms the award. SkillCertify provides the software. Candidates choose their centre in the directory and open that centre's portal.
Find your centreQualification workflows for GQA and other awarding bodies.
GQA workflows include qualification registration and card applications. For another awarding body, we check compatibility before onboarding. Staff manage portal steps and record their results; this does not imply direct portal integration or centre approval.
Qualification, test and card application
Manage the qualification, required health and safety test, and eligible GQA card application in the same candidate record.
CSCS Alliance recognised
GQA is a CSCS Alliance partner. Eligible candidates apply for the appropriate Q-Card after the required qualification and health and safety test are confirmed.
Set up for your centre’s qualifications
Your centre validates its qualifications, assessor remits and delivery arrangements during onboarding. For another awarding body, compatibility is checked before setup; staff manage any required portal steps.
Choose the card route that matches the role.
Green, Blue, Gold and Black serve different roles and qualifications. Candidates do not need to earn every colour in sequence. Each application requires the qualification and health and safety test for that card.
Green · Labourer
Level 1 health and safety qualification, the required health and safety test and a Green Labourer card application. Site access remains subject to the employer’s checks.
Blue · Skilled Worker
NVQ Level 2 for skilled trades. The assessor may consider Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) against the qualification criteria.
Gold · Advanced Craft / Supervisor
Relevant NVQ Level 3 for advanced craft, or Level 3 or 4 for supervision, assessed through the methods required by the qualification.
Black · Manager
Relevant management NVQ at Level 5, 6 or 7, assessed through the evidence methods required by the qualification.

Does using SkillCertify change our centre approval?
Your centre keeps responsibility for its qualification approval, assessor remits and awarding body requirements. Software compatibility does not grant or extend approval. Confirm any change to your delivery or assessment arrangements with your awarding body before using it.
We are not with GQA. Can we use the platform?
Tell us the awarding body and qualification. We check compatibility and any import or export needs before onboarding; your centre validates the qualification criteria and tasks before use.
Does the AI assess candidates?
AI suggests evidence matches. Assessors make and record assessment decisions. The assessor sets the evidence plan required by the qualification, and intake documents such as payslips or references are considered in context.
How long does onboarding take, and who does what?
We confirm a start date after reviewing your qualifications and existing records. We agree any data import and check a sample before migration. Your centre validates the qualification criteria and tasks.
What do internal and external quality assurers see?
Authorised quality assurers can review evidence, assessment decisions and sampling history for records within their remit. The assessor decision stays separate from the quality assurance review.
Where can we check hosting, data protection and support?
Ask us for the current data-processing agreement, hosting details and sub-processor information before onboarding. The privacy notice covers demo enquiries; the centre agreement covers candidate data. Support scope and contacts are agreed for your centre before it starts.
How is pricing structured?
Pricing combines a monthly centre subscription, candidate licences and applicable payment fees. Your quote itemises these charges and any optional services.
What are the contract and exit terms?
Your centre agreement sets the minimum term, cancellation notice, migration scope and data-export arrangements before you commit.
