GQA is planning to launch Digital º£½ÇÉçÇø cards to replace the physical ones currently issued to all those who qualify to receive them. This applies to new cards once the programme is launched.
Digital º£½ÇÉçÇø cards will be produced on the new MyGQA App where card holders will be able to see their existing (and future) learning achievements, digital skills card, digital Q card, and digital º£½ÇÉçÇø Card.
Why are we going down this digital route?
- MyGQA aligns with industry-leading technology to ensure competence, and so that the ‘right card for the right job’ is easier to verify than ever before.
- Fraud leads to compromised safety standards and reputational damage. This has been a persistent problem within the competence card landscape, particularly in the construction sector for many years. Going Digital is a positive step against fraud with the MyGQA app empowering users to combat this problem head-on.
- The virtual cards enable instant verification of qualifications and credentials, significantly reducing the risk of fraudulent activity.
- MyGQA provides a time-bound, dynamic QR code, which links directly to checking services such as º£½ÇÉçÇø Smart Check and allows cardholders’ credentials to be checked in real-time.
- The MyGQA App is available across mobile operating systems and can be downloaded from the Apple and Google Play Stores.
