Bricks Training Solution (BTS), the training arm of Bricks Mursten Mattoni Limited, has introduced an online Certificate Verification Portal aimed at strengthening transparency and credibility in the issuance and validation of certificates awarded by the institution.
The launch of the portal is intended to provide a structured and reliable means for employers, industry partners, regulators, and other stakeholders to verify the authenticity of certificates issued to graduates of BTS training programmes. The platform enables instant digital verification, reducing the risk of forgery and addressing long-standing concerns around the credibility of professional certificates within the training and capacity-building space.
Speaking on the initiative, the Chief Executive Officer of Bricks Mursten Mattoni Limited, Mr. Emmanuel Maiguwa, said the portal reflects the organisation’s emphasis on integrity, quality assurance, and the deployment of technology to reinforce stakeholder confidence. According to him, the verification system is designed to protect the value of certificates issued by BTS while also making the verification process faster and more secure for users.
Maiguwa explained that the digital platform eliminates uncertainty surrounding the authenticity of certificates by providing a seamless process through which credentials can be confirmed in real time. He noted that the initiative is particularly important in an environment where employers and regulators increasingly demand verifiable proof of competence and professional training.
Bricks Training Solution operates as the professional training division of Bricks Mursten Mattoni Limited, delivering industry-focused courses across Nigeria’s transportation ecosystem. Its training coverage spans land, rail, maritime, and aviation sectors, with programmes structured to combine theoretical grounding with practical and empirical knowledge tailored to real operational conditions. The institution positions its courses to address skills gaps and operational challenges within the transport and logistics value chain.
In the maritime sector, BTS is recognised as an Accredited Maritime Training Institution (MTI) by the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA). This accreditation places the institution among approved centres authorised to provide maritime-related training in line with national regulatory requirements. Beyond local recognition, BTS operates under internationally benchmarked standards through its Integrated Management Systems, which include ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management, ISO 14001:2015 for Environmental Management, and ISO 45001:2018 for Occupational Health and Safety.
Maiguwa stated that the certificate verification portal is part of a broader strategy to embed transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency into all aspects of the institution’s training and certification processes. He stressed that credibility remains central to the organisation’s operations, noting that the new system assures stakeholders that certificates issued by BTS are authentic and traceable.
According to him, the availability of an online verification platform also aligns with evolving industry expectations, where digital solutions are increasingly adopted to improve governance, reduce administrative bottlenecks, and enhance trust in professional qualifications. He added that the initiative supports employers in making informed recruitment and deployment decisions, while also protecting genuine graduates from the reputational damage associated with counterfeit certificates.
The Certificate Verification Portal is accessible via [https://brickslimited.com/cert-validate/](https://brickslimited.com/cert-validate/), where users can confirm certificate details securely. The platform is expected to serve a wide range of stakeholders, including employers within the transport and maritime industries, regulatory agencies, training partners, and international collaborators.
With the introduction of the portal, BTS is positioning itself to sustain high training standards while leveraging digital tools to improve oversight and confidence in professional certification. The institution stated that the initiative forms part of its ongoing efforts to support skills development and capacity building across Nigeria’s transport and maritime sectors, as well as to promote a culture of accountability and excellence in professional training.
