Built by a rep, for reps.
CertEngine exists because the certificate problem was never solved — until now.
Founder story
Twenty years. Over five hundred presentations. Thousands of architects educated on fire and life safety code compliance.
And after every single one — the same painful ritual. Open the Word template. Type the name. Check the AIA number. Format the date. Save the file. Send the email. Repeat. For every person in the room.
On a good day it took an hour. On a big room it took three. Every time, the same thought: there has to be a better way.
There wasn't. So John built it.
CertEngine takes your attendance list and turns it into delivered certificates in the time it used to take to open the template. Every attendee gets a professional PDF certificate by email. Your course information, your logo, your provider details — all pre-saved, all auto-filled.
The presentation is the hard part. The certificates should take seconds.
“The presentation is the hard part. The certificates should take seconds.”
Why this matters for the industry
For the rep
You spend your time on relationships, not spreadsheets. Every minute saved on certificates is a minute you can spend on the next presentation.
For the architect
Your AIA certificate arrives immediately, properly formatted, with everything needed for your records. No chasing, no waiting.
For the industry
Better CEU delivery means better continuing education. When the administrative burden disappears, reps do more presentations. Architects learn more. Everyone wins.
