Why QRI
A qualitative pathway that produces evidence, not just certificates.
Structured, self-paced

Assessed by rubric
Competency is proven — interview protocols, coding outputs, reviewer reports and portfolios reviewed against QRI standards.
Digitally verifiable
Every certificate carries a unique ID and QR code that resolves to a public verification page. No paper needed.
