SkillBridge — Online Academy & Certification

A white-label online academy platform with course authoring, proctored exams, blockchain-verified certificates, and integrated payment processing for creators.

Project Overview

SkillBridge is a white-label online academy platform that enables subject matter experts and training companies to launch branded course portals with built-in monetization. The platform includes a drag-and-drop course builder, AI-assisted content generation, browser-based proctored exams with identity verification, and blockchain-anchored certificates that employers can verify with a QR code. Stripe handles payments with automatic revenue splitting between the platform and creators. Over 280 instructors have published courses generating $1.8M in total revenue.

Platform Rating

Training companies and independent instructors were cobbling together 5-6 tools — Teachable for courses, Zoom for live sessions, Google Forms for assessments, Canva for certificates, and Stripe for payments. The fragmented stack created a poor learner experience.

Instructors using 5-6 disconnected tools resulting in 30% learner drop-off at tool transitions

No proctoring capability — exams had zero integrity verification

PDF certificates were easily forged, undermining credential value

Revenue reconciliation across multiple tools required manual accounting

We built an all-in-one platform that replaces the entire fragmented tool chain. Every feature — from course authoring to payment processing to certificate verification — lives in a single, branded experience.

Built a drag-and-drop course builder with video hosting, quizzes, and downloadable resources

Implemented browser-based exam proctoring with webcam monitoring and tab-switch detection

Created blockchain-anchored certificates with QR code verification for employers

Integrated Stripe Connect for automatic 85/15 revenue splitting with instant payouts

SkillBridge consolidated the fragmented instructor workflow into a single platform and has issued over 12,000 verified certificates. Creator earnings surpassed $1.8M, and the platform maintains a 4.7-star rating from both instructors and learners.

Issued 12,000+ blockchain-verified certificates with zero forgery incidents

Instructors earned $1.8M+ in total revenue with automated payout processing

Learner drop-off at transitions eliminated — completion rates up 41%

Platform onboarded 280+ instructors across 15 subject categories

I was using five different tools and losing students at every handoff. SkillBridge gave me a single branded academy that handles everything — and my students actually trust the certificates now because employers can verify them instantly.
