TechFlow news, the Dubai International Centre for Culinary Arts has leveraged Hedera to become the world's first culinary school to issue blockchain-verified certifications. The International Centre for Culinary Arts (ICCA) has completed the world’s first proof-of-concept (PoC) for blockchain-based certification. Developed for ICCA by EarthiD and Flexsin, and supported by the HBAR Foundation, the PoC utilizes Verifiable Credentials (VCs) and Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create blockchain-based certificates, ensuring data integrity for all students, reducing fraud, and further enhancing the credibility of their qualifications.
The new blockchain certification platform enables ICCA to issue academic transcripts as VCs, stored in non-custodial wallets in the form of course completion certificates. Graduates can then store these certificates directly in their mobile wallets and share them across educational, professional, and social platforms as immutable proof of course completion.
