A credential is only worth what someone else can confirm. Here is the document you receive, and the two ways anyone can verify it.
- A serial number that resolves to a public page
- Anyone can type the serial into cred.pet and see who holds it, which standard they reached, and whether it is still valid — no account, no login.
- A QR code on the document itself
- Someone holding the printed certificate scans it and lands on that same page. Nothing to type, nothing to take on trust.
- A badge for your site and profiles
- Embed it on your website, LinkedIn or email signature. It is rendered live, so a credential that lapses or is withdrawn stops showing as verified.
Expired and revoked credentials say so on the same page. That is precisely what makes the verified ones worth something.

Three steps from "I know my craft" to a credential clients can verify.
- 1
Take the assessment
Answer open-ended questions in your specialty, in your language — no multiple choice. An AI evaluator scores the substance of every answer and returns a detailed report.
- 2
Claim your certification
Pass the threshold and claim your credential: a serial-numbered certificate with a QR code that anyone can verify online.
- 3
Show it to your clients
Put the badge on your site and profiles, hand over the certificate, or send the verification link. Anyone can check it in one click, without an account.
What makes PetCred different
AI-graded open answers
No multiple-choice guessing. You write real answers, and an AI evaluator judges each one on substance and accuracy — the way a human examiner would.
Publicly verifiable
Every certificate carries a unique serial number and a QR code linking to its own verification page, plus a digital badge you can embed on your site or LinkedIn.
A course built from your answers
Fall short? The evaluator's notes on your actual responses become a study course targeting exactly the gaps it found — not generic content.
Pay as you progress
One purchase includes 3 assessment attempts, and the certification fee comes only after you pass. A certificate stays verifiable for a year and is renewed annually — every fee there is appears on the program page before you buy.

Frequently asked questions
How does the AI grading work?
You answer open-ended questions in writing — there is no multiple choice. An AI evaluator scores each answer on substance and accuracy against your specialty's published criteria, then produces a detailed report.
What happens if I don't pass?
Every assessment purchase includes 3 attempts. If you fall short, you can get a study course written from your actual answers, targeting exactly the gaps it found — then retake the assessment.
How do clients verify my certificate?
Every certificate carries a unique serial number and a QR code linking to its public verification page. You also get a digital badge you can embed on your site, your LinkedIn profile or your email signature.
What languages are assessments available in?
You choose your language when you start the assessment — questions are generated and your answers evaluated in that language. Most programs support any major language.
How long does an assessment take?
You complete the assessment online in one sitting; the question count and time limit are shown on each program page before you begin. Your report is delivered once evaluation completes.
What does it cost?
Three figures, and pricing is set per specialty. The assessment starts from €19.99 and includes 3 attempts. The certification fee — from €100 — is charged only after you pass. A certificate is valid for a year, and renewal starts from €30 a year to keep it and its badge verifiable. A personalized study course is offered separately after an attempt and is always optional. Every program page lists its own exact prices in full.
