Verification & Credential FAQs
How do employers verify a Devwalls credential?
Every Devwalls certificate comes with a unique code (format: DW-XXXXXXXXXX) and a permanent public URL (academy.devwalls.com.ng/verify/DW-XXXXXXXXXX). Anyone can look up the credential code to view the holder's verified name, path completed, and issuance timestamp directly on our tamper-resistant ledger.
Can I add my Devwalls certificate to LinkedIn?
Yes! Every verification page includes a pre-configured 'Add to LinkedIn' button that instantly populates the certification name, issuing organization (Devwalls Security), issue date, and direct verification URL into your LinkedIn profile licenses & certifications section.
What prevents fraudulent or faked certificates?
Unlike PDF certificates that can be edited with design software, a Devwalls credential is only valid if it resolves to our server-backed database at academy.devwalls.com.ng/verify/[code]. A certificate cannot be unlocked without completing all interactive rooms and achieving 70%+ on the randomized, timed examination.
Are certificates included in the free tier?
Yes! All three free foundational paths (Security Foundations, Recon Foundations, and AI Foundations) award full, officially verifiable Devwalls certifications at zero cost.
