REST API
5 endpoints to automate certificate issuance from your training management system, LMS, or student records platform.
In aviation, a certificate isn't a formality. It's a safety document. One fraudulent credential in the wrong cockpit puts lives at risk.
TRUE Original gives flight schools, type-rating providers, and aviation training organizations blockchain-secured digital certificates — tamper-proof, instantly verifiable by QR code, and permanently accessible from anywhere in the world.
Aviation is one of the most certificate-intensive industries on earth. A single pilot's career generates dozens of credentials. The systems managing those credentials haven't kept up.
A single pilot's career generates dozens of credentials — ground school completions, simulator hours, type ratings, emergency procedures, recurrent training, instructor endorsements. For cabin crew, engineers, and maintenance technicians, the list is equally long.
Training organizations carry the reputational risk. If a certificate you issued gets altered, misrepresented, or can't be verified when it matters — that reflects on your institution.
TRUE Original replaces paper and PDF certificates with digital credentials built for the security, verifiability, and global accessibility that aviation demands.
Every certificate issued through TRUE is written to the blockchain. The content — trainee name, qualification, date, issuing organization — is cryptographically locked the moment it's issued. It cannot be altered, backdated, or forged. Not by the recipient. Not by a third party. Not by anyone.
The certificate exists as a permanent, immutable record across multiple blockchains (Ethereum, AVAX, Fantom, Polygon). Even if your training organization changes systems, restructures, or closes — the blockchain record remains verifiable. Forever.
Every TRUE certificate includes a QR code. An airline recruiter, regulatory inspector, or employer scans it with their phone camera and gets immediate confirmation: who was certified, for what, when, and by whom.
No phone calls to the training centre. No waiting for email responses. No ambiguity. Verification takes seconds, works anywhere in the world, and requires no special software.
Certificates appear on your organization's own domain — certificates.yourschool.com — with your branding, logo, and design. When a pilot shares their credential or an airline verifies it, they see your institution's identity. You maintain full brand control.
TRUE's REST API offers five straightforward endpoints that connect to your existing training management system. When a student completes ground school, passes a simulator check, or finishes a type-rating programme, the certificate can be issued automatically — no manual data entry, no delays.
For high-volume training operations running multiple courses and cohorts, this eliminates the administrative bottleneck between course completion and certificate delivery.
TRUE's dashboard shows you when certificates are viewed, shared, and verified. You'll see which credentials are being checked by employers, how often verification happens, and where in the world your certificates are being accessed. This gives you an audit-ready overview of your entire certificate portfolio.
TRUE handles every credential type that aviation training organizations issue:
ATPL theory, PPL/CPL modules, instrument rating theory
Logged hours, check completions, instructor sign-offs
Aircraft-specific qualifications for pilots and engineers
CRM, fire fighting, evacuation drills, ditching procedures
Initial and recurrent safety training, first aid, dangerous goods
Individual exam certifications for aircraft maintenance engineers
Flight instructor ratings, examiner authorisations
Line checks, proficiency checks, refresher courses
ICAO language proficiency attestations
Issue them individually through the dashboard, in bulk after a course cohort completes, or automatically via API when your training management system records a pass.
Certificate fraud in aviation isn't hypothetical. Globally, cases have been documented where individuals obtained or altered training certificates to qualify for roles they weren't trained for. The consequences aren't reputational — they're potentially catastrophic.
The core vulnerability is simple: paper and PDF certificates have no built-in verification. Anyone with basic editing tools can create a convincing copy. And the further a certificate travels from the issuing organization — across borders, across years, across employers — the harder it becomes to verify.
TRUE closes that gap at the source.
When you issue a certificate through TRUE, the credential's data is hashed and written to the blockchain. That hash is a permanent fingerprint. If anyone alters so much as a single character, the hash won't match — and verification fails. Tampering isn't just difficult. It's detectable.
A pilot may need to prove a type rating issued fifteen years ago by a training centre that no longer exists. With paper, that's often impossible. With TRUE, the blockchain record persists independently of the issuing organization. The certificate remains verifiable even if the school closes.
TRUE meets EU electronic identification and trust services standards (eIDAS). For European aviation training organizations — and for any institution whose certificates may be reviewed by EU regulators — this compliance provides an additional layer of legal credibility.
Aviation training is inherently international. Students train in one country, get licensed in another, and fly globally. Your certificate infrastructure needs to work the same way.
TRUE certificates are permanent URLs — not files stored on a local server. A pilot in Singapore can share the same verifiable link as a maintenance engineer in Frankfurt. No VPN, no file transfers, no regional access issues.
TRUE supports issuers in 15+ countries. Whether your students come from across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, or the Americas, every certificate is accessible, verifiable, and presented in the same professional format.
For training organizations operating in Europe's major aviation centres — particularly in the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, and Scandinavia — TRUE's Swedish headquarters, EU data handling, GDPR compliance, and eIDAS alignment make it a natural infrastructure fit.

Issue a certificate by sending a structured email, without touching the dashboard.
Canvas, Moodle, Learnster, and more.
Certify an entire course cohort in one batch.
Certificates live on your website, not ours.
Manage, revoke, and track all certificates from a single interface.
Common questions from ATOs, flight schools, and aviation training organisations evaluating TRUE.
TRUE certificates are a digital, tamper-proof record of the training your ATO delivered. They don't replace the regulator-issued licence itself, but they sit alongside it as auditable evidence of training completion, recurrent checks, and type ratings — evidence that airlines, employers, and inspectors can verify instantly.
Yes. TRUE supports unlimited certificate templates per organisation, so an ATO can issue PPL, CPL, ATPL, type ratings, MCC, recurrent training, and safety briefings from one place, each with its own branding, signers, and validity period.
Every certificate has a permanent verification URL and a blockchain record. Pilots access their credentials forever, without depending on your systems being online or them remembering a password.
Yes. Revocation is one click. The blockchain record remains for audit, but the public verification page immediately shows the credential as revoked, with the reason if you publish one.
Anyone with the QR code or verification link can verify — no login, no app. Airlines and inspectors get a definitive answer in seconds, the same answer the regulator would get.
Yes. Certificates can be issued in multiple languages, useful for ATOs that train pilots from multiple countries or run programmes for international airlines.
A paper card can be lost or forged. A PDF can be edited in seconds. A TRUE certificate is cryptographically signed and blockchain-anchored — anyone can verify its authenticity without contacting you.
Yes. TRUE has a REST API with five endpoints plus direct integrations with Canvas, Moodle, and Learnster. Most ATOs trigger issuance automatically when a candidate is signed off in their TMS.
Your training programme builds the skills. Your certificates prove them. In an industry where credentials are safety documentation, those certificates need to be tamper-proof, instantly verifiable, and accessible from anywhere a career takes your graduates.
