Education Certificate Verification
Instant Identity Verification
Scantek’s instant identity verification process automates ID verification and ensures customer onboarding is faster and smoother.
Our unique digital technology can quickly and accurately extract identification data to prove the authenticity of your customer’s identity. Scantek’s ecosystem is vital for businesses wanting to improve authentication accuracy and accelerate Know Your Customer (KYC).
Verify Qualifications With Confidence
Fake qualifications are still tripping up Australian businesses. Fraudsters damage business reputation, equipment or worse—they harm people.
Scantek’s sophisticated technology guarantees a verification process that goes deep enough to expose even the most skilfully falsified education certificate.
The temptation to fake qualification papers is real
When a worker feels they have enough experience to perform a higher paying job, but doesn’t have the required certification, the allure of fudging their qualification can be strong.
Degrees and diplomas are expensive. Not everyone can afford study time or student debt. Shortcuts are enticing.
Frauds deceive employers in these ways:
Fake certificates: A simple online search will reveal the lucrative market for fake qualification papers.
Fake institutions: Bogus online colleges organise degree milling, and some institutions award degrees and diplomas they’re not authorised to issue.
Inflated qualifications: Inflated qualifications: Candidates list qualifications they didn’t finish, or embellish their existing certificate, for example, they list a Cert II instead of their Cert I.
The repercussions of being discovered with an underqualified employee are the stuff nightmares are made of.
- Loss of revenue through faulty work or delayed projects
- Legal proceedings
- Unwanted media attention
- Wasted recruitment and training costs
- Loss of public trust
- Harm to innocent people
The good news is that verification of education doesn’t have to be hard.

Our system is easy and accurate.

Because it’s fully digital, your onboarding process is simple and fast. What sometimes takes days when relying on people, our system takes seconds to complete.
Automated verification lightens your load by taking away:
- the time and cost spent waiting for an authorised person to verify documents

Our technology combs through the fine details of an applicant’s education certificate so that you don’t need to worry about missing hidden clues to fraud.
Since you can rely on Scantek to flag an inconsistency, you can make onboarding decisions with confidence. In the long run, that means lower staff turnover because your employees are all the real deal.
How It Works
We go to the source
When you only check the certificate, deception can go unnoticed. We go deeper. We verify details directly with the institution that awarded the certificate. Because we have access to global educational databases, we are able to accomplish that.
You get the detail
To authenticate an education certificate, Scantek confirms:
- the institute is authorised to award the qualification
- the course is valid
- the date the candidate started
- the date the candidate finished
- the grade or achievement
That level of precision leaves no wiggle room for exaggerated or false qualification claims.
Your data is secure
- we’ve removed all human handling of data.
- your Scantek portal provides secure online storage for every verification
- the data stays within Australian data centres
You’re audit-ready
If you’re audited, you have a retrievable track record of your due diligence in verifying staff education certificates. And having records saves your staff from duplicating verifications by mistake.
