The first thing most graduates want to do after finishing a program is put it on LinkedIn. It's the best organic marketing your institution gets — and one of the fastest ways for your graduates to get noticed by recruiters.

Here's how to add a ProofDeck credential to LinkedIn in under a minute.

Method 1: One-Click "Add to LinkedIn" (Fastest)

From your certificate delivery email, or the live certificate page:

  1. Open the certificate.
  2. Click Add to LinkedIn Profile in the toolbar.
  3. LinkedIn opens a pre-filled form with: - #0B0B12]">Name — the course or certificate title - Issuing Organization — your verified org name - Issue Date — month and year - Credential ID — your ProofDeck public record ID - Credential URL — direct link to the [Verification Portal
  4. Click Save on LinkedIn.

Done. It's now permanently on the profile.

Method 2: Add It Manually

Prefer to do it yourself from LinkedIn directly:

  1. Open LinkedIn, go to your profile.
  2. Scroll to Licenses & Certifications, click +.
  3. Fill in: - Name — e.g. Advanced Full-Stack Engineering - Issuing Organization — your academy or institution - Issue Date — graduation month and year - Credential ID — from your certificate, e.g. PRD-2026-98421 - Credential URL — your ProofDeck verification link
  4. Click Save.

Why This Matters to Employers

Most LinkedIn certification entries link to a generic company homepage or an unverified PDF. Not this one.

With ProofDeck:

  • Recruiters click Show Credential right on LinkedIn
  • It opens the official verification page — verified issuer, timestamp, recipient name
  • No back-and-forth, no background check delay

Give Your Graduates a Real Advantage

Credentials that hold up under scrutiny, on the platform recruiters actually use.
