Certificates

Trusted by developers at 680+ companies

Developers at leading product companies, consultancies, and engineering teams use Certificates.dev certifications to validate real-world development skills. Now, the Certified Company Program brings that recognition to the company level.

Market context

"Clients are no longer buying 'we have great developers.' They are buying proof, certainty, and reduced risk."

AI has made
trust harder

Anyone can claim expertise. AI makes this easier than ever. Clients know it. Skepticism of unverified teams is growing.

Enterprise clients
demand proof

Regulated industries and high-liability projects will not proceed without objective, verifiable evidence of capability.

Verification is a
revenue lever

This is not a training expense. Certified companies close more deals, at higher rates, with shorter sales cycles.

The offer

Three layers of advantage

01

Developer Certification
Bundles

Equip your team with credentialed, verifiable skills at Junior, Mid, or Senior level across the most in-demand frameworks.

  • Laravel, Vue, React, Angular, JavaScript, Nuxt

  • Preparation + real-world coding challenges

  • 1 free retake per bundle

  • Senior-level prerequisite waived

  • Team dashboard for allocation & tracking

02

Company-Level
Recognition

Your company earns verified status, not just individual developers. Credentials your sales team can point to in every proposal.

  • Certified Company Badge

  • Verified Team Status

  • Employer branding boost

  • Ecosystem exposure: 600,000+ developer network

03

Commercial
Impact

Companies don't buy this for certificates. They buy it because it changes the outcome of deals.

  • Win deals you would otherwise lose

  • Justify higher pricing

  • Shorten sales cycles

  • Reduce perceived delivery risk

Commercial impact

Four ways certification drives results

01

Close Higher-Value
Clients

Enterprise and regulated industries demand proof of capability. A Certified Company badge transforms sales conversations from pitches into credentialed partnerships, opening doors that remain closed to unverified competitors.

02

Reduce Sales
Friction

Verified credentials replace lengthy technical evaluations. Prospects move through the pipeline faster when trust is established upfront, reducing the time and cost of every deal.

03

Outposition
Competitors

Most agencies cannot verify their claims. Certification creates a structural advantage that competitors without it simply cannot replicate, without the same investment in their teams.

04

Attract Stronger
Talent

Top developers want to work at companies that invest in professional growth. Your Certified Company badge signals engineering excellence and creates a hiring advantage across the 600,000+ developer ecosystem.

Who this is for

The Certified Company Program works best for

Agencies selling to enterprise

Enterprise and regulated clients demand proof of capability. The Certified Company badge converts that expectation into your advantage.

Teams struggling to differentiate

Most agencies look identical on paper. Certification creates a structural difference that competitors without it cannot replicate.

Companies hiring or scaling

Top developers want to work at certified companies. Embed certification in onboarding and attract stronger candidates from day one.

Where trust equals revenue

High-liability, high-value projects are won on credibility. Verification moves your company from a vendor into a trusted delivery partner.

Agencies using certification in proposals

Position your company as a Certified Development Partner in client proposals and make your RFP responses immediately stand out.

Teams embedding quality in culture

Certification as part of developer onboarding establishes a baseline of verified skill and signals that engineering standards matter here.
