Credentials
Verifying a Pillars Leadership College credential.
An employer, church or institution should be able to confirm a PLC credential in seconds, without learning anything private about the person who holds it.
Check a credential
Every credential the College issues carries a verification code and a QR code that lead straight to its record. Scan the code on the document, or type it below. No account is needed. If a document claiming to be a PLC credential has no verification code, or the code returns nothing, please contact the College before relying on it.
What a verification will return
Returned
- Valid, Not found, or Revoked
- Student name, where legally appropriate
- Programme
- Issue date
- Credential ID
Never returned
- Address
- Telephone number
- Email address
- Grades or marks
- Payment or financial information
- Any other student record
- Rate limited and abuse-monitored server-side.
- Lookup by credential identifier only — no browsing, no listing, no enumeration.
- Verification is a read of an issued credential; it never confirms anything not yet issued.

The exact wording that appears on a Pillars Leadership College certificate is being confirmed by the College and reviewed for accuracy before anything is issued. The College does not describe itself as a university or as an accredited or degree-awarding institution.
