Trade Certification Layer

Log every hour.
Qualify on proof.

Build a verified log of on-the-job hours and skill assessments that automatically qualifies an apprentice for trade certification. Verified hours and assessment results are recorded as they happen, so when an apprentice qualifies, the certification board confirms eligibility instantly.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Turn easily lost or falsified paper hour logs into a verified, real-time record that qualifies an apprentice automatically.

01.

Verified Hour Log

Record supervised hours as they happen. The DID and VC Ledger anchors each block of on-the-job hours with the supervising tradesperson, so a paper log that could be lost or padded becomes a signed, running total.

02.

Competency Attestation

Confirm skill assessments. The Compliance Attestations module records each passed competency check against the trade's requirements, so progress toward certification is evidence rather than a self-report.

03.

Assessment Notary

Seal each result. The Provenance Notary anchors assessment outcomes by digest, making a falsified skill certificate detectable against the recorded evidence.

04.

Auto-Qualification

Qualify the moment thresholds are met. When logged hours and passed competencies reach the trade's requirement, the contract marks the apprentice eligible, so certification is not delayed by manual tallying.

05.

Supervisor Verification

Attribute hours honestly. Each hour block is co-signed by a verified supervisor, so recorded time reflects real supervised work and not padded entries.

06.

Board-Ready Eligibility

Confirm eligibility instantly. A certification board reads the verified record and confirms an apprentice's readiness on demand, replacing a review of loose paper logbooks.

The Apprenticeship Lifecycle

Follow a single apprentice from a logged block of hours through competency assessment to automatic qualification and board confirmation.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes trade certification into modular contracts. Each layer logs verified hours, attests competencies, evaluates qualification, and confirms eligibility without loose paper logbooks.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Verified apprenticeship tracking is a horizontal capability. Here is how different actors put the certification ledger to work.

Trade Certification Boards

Confirm an apprentice's eligibility from a verified record of hours and competencies, replacing reviews of loose paper logbooks that are easy to lose or falsify.

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are bridging an employer's workforce system or capturing hours from a supervisor's phone, Cerulea routes both into one verified apprenticeship record.

Track A: Workforce System Bridging

For employers on existing workforce systems. Logged hours and assessment events are translated into on-chain records and attestations through the API gateway automatically.

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects workforce-compliance integration benchmarks. Building verified hour logging, wiring competency attestation, and shipping automatic qualification for an average trade program takes a baseline of 8 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your hour and competency rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the apprenticeship ledger and eligibility layer instantly.
