The new ODI Certificates platform is a modern, user-friendly system that allows you to create and manage your certificates more easily. It includes a new design, improved navigation, and additional features to enhance your experience.

There are several key changes in the platform:

1. Datasets have certificates. So now before you can create a certificate, you need to create a dataset the certificate is about. This just requires a URL and title.
2. The platform now has a new login system. Old accounts have been deleted, but the certificates connected to them (if they have been migrated) are still available (see below).
3. The plaform has been updated so it supports mulitple certificates, not just the Open Data Certificate. This means in the future we will be able to add more certificate types.
4. The automatic certificate generation has been removed while we investigate if we can make use of Generate AI to help people complete the certificates.

We have migrated all certificates, regardless of state, which were last updated after 1st January 2020.

This means there is a substantial amount of older data that is not available on the new platform. We have a secure backup, and we can extract this if absolutely necessary — please contact us at [email protected] to request this.

Certificates remain linked to the users who created them. However, the new ODI Certificates platform requires an ODI account to log in.

You can create an account here: https://theodi.org/account/register/

Important: You must use the same email address that you originally used for your certificates account.

If you need to recover a certificate linked to an email you no longer have access to, please contact us at [email protected].

Requiring users to log in prevents spam and reduces the number of empty or incomplete certificates being created.

As part of the migration, we have focused on English as the primary language. Certificate questionnaires that were previously translated remain available in their original languages, but supporting pages such as the FAQ and About pages have been substantially updated in English only.
