NFT Certification Instructions
ReTrain Canada is proud to offer NFT Certifications to our graduates!
What is an NFT Certificate?
NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are a unique and non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a digital ledger. They use blockchain technology to establish a verified and public proof of ownership. Our NFT certifications are the perfect example of a credential that benefits from an NFT’s proof of ownership. Since these digital documents are available on the blockchain, they can’t be duplicated or fabricated. As hiring organizations look for easier and more economical ways to verify credentials, the use of NFTs ensures the information can’t be tampered with and is easily accessible to the public.
For Students
Sign up for a Crypto Wallet
We recommend MetaMask. Go to the app store on your phone, search for MetaMask and download it, and then follow the steps to get your account set up. It is very important to ensure that you write down the passphrase provided to you on paper, and to lock it in a safe, safety deposit box, or a drawer with a lock. If you lose this passphrase you lose access to your account.

For Employers
These NFTs provide immutable proof of certification. These certificates cannot be altered or changed.
Students can easily prove to you that they have earned their NFT certificate: Ownership of the unique token is transferred to their wallet by us when they complete their course. They will be able to show this to you by providing you with a link, or with their OpenSea account, or in their MetaMask wallet or in any other crypto wallet. Certificates visible on the polygon blockchain within the student wallet confirms they have the certification. (https://polygonscan.com/)
