SOLID Data: What it Means
For the U.S. to meet the growing demand for skills and credential data, it is essential that this information be structured, open, linked, interoperable, and durable (SOLID). Credential Engine ensures this by advancing CTDL, the only comprehensive open standard for describing and linking credentials, learning, and work ecosystems, as the foundation for this work.
Recognition of Prior Learning: Helping People Move Forward
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is the process of providing formal acknowledgment and credit for knowledge, skills, and abilities people have gained through work experience, military service, self-study, volunteering, and/or previous education. This includes credit for prior learning (CPL), transfer credit between institutions, and validation of non-traditional learning experiences. RPL empowers people to move forward and build on what they already know rather than starting over, accelerating pathways to credentials and careers.

Supporting a Marketplace of Solutions with the CTDL Vendor Assessment Tool
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.
