Here’s the honest version: a shop isn’t certified — its technicians are. A shop advertises what it can do based on the certified people on its team. That distinction is the whole point.
Skill lives in people, not storefronts. Tying certification to the technician — and letting a shop advertise a capability only when a certified tech is actually on the roster — means a capability you see reflects who’s really at the bench, not a sticker that outlived the person who earned it.
A certification belongs to a person. It confirms a specific technician demonstrated a specific skill, at a specific level, and had it reviewed. Because it’s theirs, it follows them from shop to shop across their career.
A shop doesn’t get a “certified” stamp. Instead, it can advertise that it does a kind of work when a certified technician is on its roster and the shop has enabled that category. The capability reflects the people actually doing the work.
A technician can be a staff-nominated notable figure, can submit a portfolio of their work for review, or can earn it on the platform through a verified repair history. Each path is reviewed by our team before a certification is granted.
Certifications are specific: a device category paired with a skill level, rather than one blanket badge. That precision is what lets the capability you see on a shop mean something concrete.
