Veikurskard

Veikurskard is a portable credential used within a structured learning framework to document progress across a set of courses or modules. It may exist as a physical card, a digital record stored in a mobile wallet, or both. Each Veikurskard includes a unique identifier and a verifiable record of completed modules, skill levels, and dates. A machine-readable code or digital seal enables external verification by schools, employers, or training providers.

The concept originated in program documentation for standardized micro-credentials and is used by educational institutions and corporate training programs to recognize and transfer learning across different contexts. Cards typically record course titles, earned credits, mastery criteria, issuing authority, and the date of issuance. Interoperability relies on standardized metadata and verifiable credentials technologies to allow learners to share records selectively.

Privacy and security are central considerations: data on Veikurskards is designed to support verification while giving learners control over what information is shared. Adoption has been uneven; supporters highlight portability, transparency of achievement, and easier transfer of credits, whereas critics point to potential privacy concerns, standardization gaps, and the risk of credential inflation.
