A COMPLETE CREDENTIAL PLATFORM · LAUNCHING JANUARY 2027

Build stronger credential programs. Run them with less overhead.

Tricadre gives certification bodies one platform to build, deliver and manage the complete credential journey — from application and learning through assessment, certification, verification and renewal.

Tricadre fits you if…

You certify people — instructors, practitioners, members or staff
Start simple, or go rigorous — put in your own content and go; when an accreditor asks, defensible pass marks are already built in
You want the whole journey in one place — applications, learning, exams, skills logs, awards and verification
You'd rather not build a large admin team — a small team can run it, and we'll help you launch

ONE PLATFORM. THREE CADRES.

Choose the model that fits your program.

Run directly, grow through training partners, build a network of certified instructors, or bring in the Tricadre team when you want help getting launched.

Core Cadre (Direct): the certification body invites its own candidates, delivers training, manages assessments and makes every certification decision in Tricadre.

Partner Cadre (Training partner): authorised partners deliver training; the certification body controls assessments and makes every certification decision.

Master Cadre (Train-the-trainer): the certification body certifies instructors, who train candidates of their own under the body's scheme.

Tricadre Assisted Launch: import existing content, build and configure, prepare and publish, launch.

Designed to support recognized standards: ISO/IEC 17024:2026, NCCA Standards, AERA/APA/NCME, WCAG, ADA, ITC Guidelines, QTI 3.0 and ANSI/ICE 1100.

Pass marks you can defend: subject-matter experts rate each question by the modified Angoff method; each exam paper gets its own pass mark; every decision is recorded.

Core Cadre

DIRECT

The certification body runs everything itself: it invites its own candidates, delivers the training and assessments, and makes every certification decision, all from one place in Tricadre.

Partner Cadre

TRAINING PARTNER

Authorised partner organisations deliver training under the body's scheme. Partners bring the classes and candidates; the body keeps control of the scheme, the assessments and every certification decision.

Master Cadre

TRAIN-THE-TRAINER

The body certifies instructors, who train candidates of their own under its scheme. Each instructor builds their own cadre, while the body sets the requirements and makes every certification decision.

THE CREDENTIAL LIFECYCLE

Build it once. Let Tricadre run the journey.

Setting up a strong credential program takes real work. Once it is published, routine candidate progression should not require staff to manually push every step forward. Tricadre brings your team in when expertise, review, instruction or a certification decision is actually needed.

The Tricadre credential lifecycle: access, application, requirements, award, share and verify, recertification, and upgrades to additional credentials.

From the first invitation to a verifiable credential and beyond: applications, training and learning, exams, skills validation, the award, sharing and verification, recertification and upgrades.

A BETTER WAY TO BUILD CREDENTIAL PROGRAMS

More capability without building a large operations team.

Tricadre combines guided setup, AI-assisted tools and automated candidate journeys so your staff can focus on the work that requires human judgment.

✦

AI-Assisted Content

Create, import and organize program content faster. AI assists with the work; your people review and approve.

Import tools • Drafting assistance • Human oversight

⇢

Self-Service Journeys

Automate routine candidate progression through applications, learning, requirements, assessments, awards and renewal workflows.

Keep routine work off your staff

Greater Value

Put more of your budget into the credential program itself instead of repetitive administrative processing.

More program for your operational spend

✓

Strong Programs

Build consistent requirements, controlled decisions and evidence trails that help your credential stand up to scrutiny.

Consistency • Evidence • Control

GROW YOUR PROGRAM

Scale the program, not the administrative burden.

Move from direct delivery to partner or instructor networks while keeping the certification body in control.

CONTROL WHERE IT MATTERS

Your program. Your standard. Your decision.

Training and learning can be delivered in different ways. Requirements and assessments can be automated where appropriate. But the certification decision remains with the certification body.

Training & LearningKeep learning separate and visible throughout the journey.

RequirementsTrack the activities and evidence candidates must complete.

AssessmentRecord examinations, attempts, results and supporting evidence.

Certification DecisionYour body reviews the evidence and makes the decision.

AwardIssue the appropriate certification, certificate or completion award.

STANDARDS-INFORMED BY DESIGN

Tools to support the program you choose to implement.

Tricadre integrates recognized certification, assessment, accessibility and interoperability practices into its design — including ISO/IEC 17024:2026, the NCCA Standards, the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, WCAG and the ITC Guidelines — to support certification bodies building credible, defensible programs. Pass marks can be set by the modified Angoff method, with each exam paper marked fairly and every decision on the record.

Important: Tricadre is software. It is not ISO or NCCA accredited, certified or approved, and using Tricadre does not make a certification body or program accredited or compliant. Accreditation and conformity remain the responsibility of the certification body and its program.
