Certifying Quality in Education: How a National Education Association Uses TRUE to Build Trust in a Competitive Market

In Sweden’s rapidly evolving education sector, trust, transparency, and quality assurance have never mattered more. For Almega Utbildningsföretagen—the country’s leading industry association for private training providers—these values are central to everything they do.
In Sweden’s rapidly evolving education sector, trust, transparency, and quality assurance have never mattered more. For Almega Utbildningsföretagen—the country’s leading industry association for private training providers—these values are central to everything they do.

Representing over 400 education companies, from vocational schools to corporate training firms, Almega Utbildningsföretagen plays a critical role in ensuring high standards across the board. One of their most important tools? The industry-recognized quality label: Kvalitetssäkrad utbildning.

But until recently, the way that certification was shared and validated didn’t match its strategic value.

From Static PDFs to Digital Proof

For years, Almega issued their quality certifications as PDF documents. While sufficient for internal documentation, they lacked verifiability, visibility, and security.

“We needed something more future-proof,” says the team at Almega. “The industry label is a powerful signal of trust. But in a digital world, a static PDF just isn’t enough.”

The shift toward blockchain-secured digital credentials became a clear next step. That’s when Almega partnered with TRUE Original—a secure platform for issuing and verifying official documents online.

A Trusted, Verifiable Label — Publicly Available

With TRUE, every certified member now receives a digital credential that is impossible to falsify, easy to verify, and built for online visibility. Each certificate is published on a unique, SEO-indexed subdomain under Almega’s own branding, meaning both search engines and users clearly see that the credential comes from a trusted source.

“We want employers, authorities, and students to immediately recognize the legitimacy of a provider’s quality status,” says Almega. “With TRUE, that verification takes one click.”

This approach not only increases transparency in the education industry, but it also empowers member organizations to showcase their quality label in a dynamic, modern way—whether on their websites, in funding applications, or on LinkedIn.

Administrative Simplicity, Sector-Wide Impact

Switching to TRUE has also made internal processes faster and more efficient. Instead of manually creating and sending PDFs, Almega now has a streamlined system for issuing, tracking, and updating credentials in real time.

The result? More time to focus on policy work and member support—and fewer hours spent managing documents.

But the bigger win may be cultural. By moving to digital certification, Almega has set a new benchmark for how professional associations in Sweden can enhance trust and quality assurance in their sectors.

“It’s not just about efficiency,” says the team. “It’s about credibility—online, at a glance.”

A Stronger Signal in a Crowded Marketplace

In a competitive landscape where hundreds of education providers vie for attention, the quality label matters. And now, with blockchain-secured credentials from TRUE, it’s more than a checkbox—it’s a visible, verifiable asset that builds confidence among students, employers, and decision-makers.

“TRUE helped us modernize one of our most important tools,” says Almega. “And that has real impact—not just for us, but for the entire industry.”
