Build Stronger Engineering Standards For Your Team

Standardise engineering standards in an AI-accelerated environment. Certificates.dev for Teams adds a Team Dashboard, reporting, and procurement-friendly purchasing.

Great engineering scales when “what good looks like” is shared.

But as teams grow—and as AI accelerates delivery—standards can become inconsistent between squads. Expectations drift. Framework conventions vary. Onboarding becomes uneven. And code quality starts to depend on who happened to build (or review) a feature, rather than a shared baseline the whole team aligns on.

That’s why we’re announcing Certificates.dev for Teams: new team functionality and team purchasing options designed to help engineering leaders standardise capability, benchmark progress, and strengthen engineering standards across the organisation.

And it’s not happening in a vacuum. Certificates.dev has already certified 8,000+ developers across 680+ companies.

As more teams started using our certifications for consistent standards, onboarding, and team development, we saw the need to make team rollouts simpler and more scalable.

Why team certification (and why now)

AI is changing how teams build software—and we’re excited about that.

We’re strong advocates for AI workflows that increase speed and efficiency. But higher velocity also increases the value of shared standards: consistency, maintainability, secure defaults, testing discipline, and code review patterns are what keep fast-moving teams aligned.

That’s where team certification helps.

When certification is rolled out across a team, it becomes a practical way to create a shared baseline:

  • A clear, repeatable standard for role levels (so “junior / mid / senior” means the same thing across squads)
  • A consistent way to benchmark capability and identify gaps (without guesswork)
  • A scalable way to operationalise standards across the org—so onboarding, internal mobility, and upskilling can follow a consistent, measurable structure (instead of varying by team or manager)

How teams typically use certification

We’re seeing teams use certification in a few practical, high-impact ways:

  • Onboarding: Set a clear baseline for new hires and shorten time-to-productivity by making expectations explicit
  • Upskilling: Identify skill gaps and support growth plans with measurable outcomes, not just “completed training”
  • Levelling: Provide an objective input that supports consistent progression from one level to another (alongside real performance and delivery)

Proof from the ecosystem

We love seeing how teams adopt certification as part of their standards and hiring bar.

Andriy Vasylytsya (CTO & Co-Founder at Softonix) recently shared:

“For our frontend engineers, passing the Vue.js Senior Developer certification is mandatory. This isn’t some multiple-choice quiz—it’s the official cert from Yuxi You (creator of Vue) and the Certificates.dev team, covering web vitals, performance, testing, and security.

Last year I passed mine. Today—more than 10 Softonix engineers are certified.”

What’s new: the Team Dashboard

We’ve introduced a Team Dashboard built for managers who want to run certification at scale without spreadsheets or manual admin.

The Team Dashboard is a central hub where Team Managers can:

  • purchase vouchers, assign exams, track progress, manage retake requests, and view results in one place
  • create multiple teams (useful for squads, regions, departments, or cohorts)
  • add team members manually or by assigning a voucher to an email address (with an invite flow for redemption)

From a leadership perspective, the dashboard makes it easy to see:

  • who is registered, in progress, or certified
  • exam attempts and pass rates per framework and team
  • trends over time to inform training and staffing decisions

It also supports the operational pieces teams need:

  • retake requests route to Team Managers for approval or decline
  • reporting exports are available as CSV (voucher activity, exam statuses, pass/fail rates, redemption dates)

And importantly: all technologies your team uses can be managed in one place (JavaScript, Angular, Vue, Nuxt, React, etc.).

Team options (volume pricing + enterprise procurement)

To support real-world rollouts, we’ve added team options designed for organisations.

Volume discounts for teams

We offer discounted pricing for teams certifying across frameworks and levels:

  • Team | 10–49: typically 10–20% savings (up to 37.5% on bootcamp bundles)
  • Enterprise | 50+: typically ~25% savings (up to 45% on bootcamp bundles)

(Exact pricing depends on scope, tracks, and rollout design.)

Online bulk purchase or invoicing

Inside the dashboard, Team Managers can purchase vouchers by card, or request an invoice for wire/EFT payments for larger organisations.

We’re also building around enterprise realities such as procurement-friendly flows (including invoicing/PO support).

A catalog built for modern teams

Certificates.dev offers certifications across widely used modern web technologies, with structured levels and a consistent standard across frameworks.

For organisations, the value isn’t just “a certificate.” It’s the ability to:

  • standardise expectations and best practices across squads
  • support engineering consistency across regions and teams
  • enable clearer progression paths and more measurable development
  • make onboarding and upskilling easier to run consistently at scale

Trusted by developers — ready for teams

Certificates.dev has already certified 8,000+ developers across 680+ companies (and counting). That credibility matters, because team rollouts only work when developers respect the quality and integrity of the assessment.

As Alex Kyriakidis (Founder at Certificates.dev) put it:

“We built Certificates.dev to make developers’ lives easier. When engineers have clear, practical standards that match how modern teams build, they can deepen their skills, validate their expertise, and prove their growth, especially in a world where AI accelerates coding and depth, judgment, and best practices matter more than ever. That creates strong business outcomes too, from smoother onboarding and more objective hiring to leveling up teams without adding management overhead.”
