Certchain

270 Petershill Road, Glasgow, City of Glasgow, G21 4AY, United Kingdom

Overview

Certchain provides an AI-enabled workforce compliance platform that connects to more than 40 official training and regulatory bodies to instantly verify construction credentials and generate a live, portable “skills passport” for every worker. The system replaces manual card checks and fragmented spreadsheets with centralised, continuously updated data, giving contractors automated alerts on emerging skills gaps and compliance risks. For workers, the accompanying app features Cara AI, a personal career assistant that identifies missing qualifications, recommends training, and highlights pathways to better roles. By offering sector-specific, real-time verification, Certchain differentiates itself from generic HR tools and basic credential checkers. The company is targeting major UK contractors and aims to equip thousands of workers with portable profiles in the near term. Newly secured funding will accelerate enterprise roll-outs and expand the platform’s competency management tooling. Financial details beyond the recent raise have not been disclosed.
