Credential Engine’s mission is to fuel the creation of solutions that empower people to find the learning and career pathways that are best for them. To facilitate the development of more solutions, we have led an open advisory group to create the Credential Transparency Description Language Vendor Assessment Tool (CTDL-VAT). This tool is designed to streamline procurement and product development processes by enabling buyers to clearly communicate their needs and vendors to showcase their CTDL capabilities. The CTDL-VAT offers a structured framework that facilitates communication between buyers and vendors, enables stakeholders to make informed decisions, reduces risks, and ultimately drives the development of more connected and transparent credential and skill ecosystems.
