TL;DR: Nordiskt Näringscenter plans and runs courses in nutrition, including a nutrition therapist programme recently reworked to be more flexible. Diplomas now go out digitally through TRUE, open on a phone and can be checked. Principal Bo Engborg puts the gain with the students: they can show prospective clients what they have learned.
Bo Engborg is the principal of Nordiskt Näringscenter. He plans the courses with the teachers and teaches some of them himself, and the Nutrition Therapist programme was recently reworked to be more flexible and better matched to what students want from it.
Open the diploma through the link the nutrition therapist shared, straight on a phone. The page shows that Nordiskt Näringscenter issued it and that it has not been altered, without you having to contact the school. You can also paste the link into TRUE Verify. The answer comes in a few seconds, and you do not need an account.
Printer, envelope, post box, for every graduate.
“Previously we printed all the diplomas on paper and sent them out by post. Boring and inefficient.”
Everything that goes wrong with post, and then one thing that does not. Some diplomas never arrived at all and others turned up creased, which is irritating but survivable.
“Sometimes the diplomas were lost in the mail, sometimes they arrived creased. For the students it was not easy to use the diplomas in their own marketing.”
Bo Engborg, Principal, Nordiskt Näringscenter
A nutrition therapist who finishes the programme goes out to find clients, and the diploma is the only evidence they hold that the training happened. A creased sheet in a drawer does none of that work. One that never arrived does less.
It travels with the person who earned it, opens on a phone, and can be checked by whoever is reading it.
“Quick, easy, and above all a great advantage that the students can easily show their new knowledge to prospective clients.”
Bo Engborg, Principal, Nordiskt Näringscenter
The school saved the printing and the postage. He mentions that first and moves past it in two words. What he calls the great advantage belongs to somebody else entirely. That is also what makes it a verifiable credential: proof a prospective client can confirm without contacting the school.
Nothing so far. Asked what would make diploma handling easier, Engborg says it is nothing he has thought about yet, which is the answer of somebody who has stopped thinking about diplomas at all.
Nordiskt Näringscenter publishes its courses on its own site: Nordiskt Näringscenter. For the same problem at a school that sent its proof through an LMS rather than the post, read Distanslära, or see how digital diplomas work in education.
