For Universities, Colleges & Institutions

Issue credentials that travel. Prove your graduates are genuinely work ready.

DKAM is the decentralised trust layer for registrars, partnerships teams, careers services and senior leadership. Issue source-verified credentials directly to a graduate's Bluck, evidence verified capability beyond the CV, and keep visibility on outcomes long after graduation. Built to complement the systems you already run.

GDPR aligned, consent first Sits alongside SIS, LMS & CRM Source-issued, tamper evident

Source-issued credentials

Issue degrees, diplomas and micro-credentials as tamper-evident, time-stamped attestations bound to a verified individual.

Alumni affiliation at scale

Confirm alumni in bulk through a session-verified queue. No 100 logins for 100 requests.

Active learner trust

In-flight learners can already attach verified institutional context to their Bluck while they study.

Audit-grade verification log

Every issuance, confirmation and access decision is logged and exportable for governance and accreditation.

Verify once per session

Your records team authenticates once, then clears the queue. Designed around real registry and records workflows in universities, colleges and polytechnics.

Cross-institution recognition

Credentials are portable across participating organisations and partners. No re-verifying the same evidence from scratch.

Graduate Outcomes

Evidence that your graduates are work ready. Not just claims on a CV.

Employability rankings, accreditation reviews and government reporting increasingly demand evidence of real capability, not self-reported skills. DKAM turns the credentials you already award into living, verifiable capability records that follow your graduates into work and stay connected to your institution.

  • Each credential ties to a verified individual, not a paper claim.
  • Capability validation builds an evidence-backed view of what a graduate can actually do.
  • Employers and recruiters see institution-source-issued evidence first, ahead of unverified claims.
  • Outcomes signals flow back to careers services to inform curriculum and partnership decisions.
  • Differentiate your institution in TEF, QS, employability league tables and accreditation visits.
Work-ready evidence

Verified capability that hiring teams can trust, traceable back to your institution as the issuing source.

Outcomes visibility

Stay connected to graduate trajectories. Use anonymised signals to inform curriculum, partnerships and careers services.

Portable across borders

A credential issued by your institution remains verifiable wherever your graduate works, without bilateral data-sharing agreements.

Alumni community of trust

Confirmed alumni become an authenticated network, not a guess. Useful for advancement, mentoring and employer partnerships.

System Compatibility

Sits alongside what you already run.

DKAM is designed to complement, not replace, the systems your institution already depends on. In plain English: your SIS stays your system of record. DKAM becomes the trust layer that turns what you already issue into something portable, verifiable and graduate-controlled.

Your SIS stays the source of record

Student information systems (Banner, PeopleSoft, ITS, SITS, Tribal, Workday Student and similar) remain authoritative. DKAM consumes confirmed records, it does not own them.

LMS and learning analytics untouched

Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard or your in-house LMS continues to run delivery and assessment. DKAM issues at the credential layer, after the institution has decided to award.

CRM and alumni systems complemented

Salesforce Education Cloud, Raiser's Edge or your alumni database stays in place. DKAM adds a verified, consent-controlled affiliation signal back into it.

Lightweight integration paths

Start with a manual issuance console, move to CSV batch, then API or event-based integration when your team is ready. No mandatory rip-and-replace.

Identity and SSO friendly

Designed to work with institutional SSO and federated identity (SAML, OIDC). Pilots can begin without IT integration and tighten over time.

Reporting and governance preserved

All issuance and verification events are logged and exportable. Feed them back into your existing reporting, accreditation and audit processes.

Specific integration depth depends on your institution's systems and pilot scope. We confirm what is in place today and what is on the roadmap before any commitment.

GDPR aligned by design

Lawful basis, data minimisation and consent are built into the workflow, not bolted on.

Institutional confidence

Role-based access, row-level data isolation, audit logs and revocable consent for every record.

Accessibility considered

Designed against WCAG 2.2 AA principles. Accessibility statements published per release as the platform matures.

Talk to a Person

You will be dealing with people, not a platform.

Every institutional conversation is owned by a named contact at DKAM. Use the route that fits your remit and we will respond personally, not from a generic inbox.
