Tricadre — Build Do See Run
A COMPLETE CREDENTIAL PLATFORM · LAUNCHING JANUARY 2027

Build stronger credential programs. Run them with less overhead.

Tricadre gives certification bodies one platform to build, deliver and manage the complete credential journey — from application and learning through assessment, certification, verification and renewal.

Tricadre fits you if…
  • You certify people — instructors, practitioners, members or staff
  • Start simple, or go rigorous — put in your own content and go; when an accreditor asks, defensible pass marks are already built in
  • You want the whole journey in one place — applications, learning, exams, skills logs, awards and verification
  • You'd rather not build a large admin team — a small team can run it, and we'll help you launch

FOUNDING PARTNERS · FOUR PLACES

Launch with us, and help shape Tricadre.

The first four certification bodies get four months of hands-on assistance free — Assist Plus for Core and Partner Cadres, Assist Premier for Master Cadre — with double hours while you set up, a voice on the roadmap, and first access to new features.

Ask about a founding place
Assistance plans
AssistUp to 2 hours a month$190 / month
Assist PlusUp to 6 hours a month$570 / month
Assist PremierUp to 12 hours a month$1,140 / month
Support is always included. Every new body's first month of assistance is included; most bodies use assistance while they launch, then step down.
STANDARDS-INFORMED BY DESIGN

Built to support the program you choose to run.

Designed to support ISO/IEC 17024:2026, the NCCA Standards, the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, WCAG and the ITC Guidelines — with pass marks set by the modified Angoff method and every decision on the record.

Important: Tricadre is software. It is not ISO or NCCA accredited, certified or approved, and using Tricadre does not make a certification body or program accredited or compliant. Accreditation and conformity remain the responsibility of the certification body and its program.

QUESTIONS

Quick answers.

Is it free to build?

Yes. Setting up your schemes, pathways, question banks, pass mark studies and translations costs nothing. Your plan starts when live exams start.

What is a token?

One token covers one application — an initial certification, a recertification or an upgrade — at $5. Up to three attempts are included, so retakes don't cost extra.

When can we start?

Tricadre opens to certification bodies on 1 January 2027. Founding partners start planning their launch with us now.

Do you help us set up?

Support is always included. Your first month of assistance is included too, and founding partners get four months, with double hours. After that, assistance plans are there if you want them.

What if we want to leave?

There's no lock-in. We'll help you export everything, and credentials you've issued stay verifiable. Payments aren't refunded, but your access continues to the end of the period you've paid for.

EARLY ACCESS

Request early access.

Tricadre opens to certification bodies on 1 January 2027. Until then, we're working with a small number of bodies to plan their launch together — ask about the four founding partner places.
