About Integrity Advocate

We’re saving lives by ensuring the correct people are attentively completing training and certifications without cheating, with many customers in high-risk industries like oil & gas.

Founded in 2015, we were faced with the challenge of finding a service that could verify the identity and participation of online learners without creating extensive support needs due to device restrictions, software installations and the significant risk of privacy complaints and vulnerabilities. We became Integrity Advocate, a privacy-first alternative to existing solutions.

Our Core Values - Ownership, Integrity, Tenacity, and Intentionality - aren’t just words to us. This is the foundation of who we are as individuals and as a business. We act like owners, uphold integrity in every action we take, are tenacious in pursuit of our goals and remain intentional with every move we make. Together let’s bring Integrity Advocate to new heights knowing that we are a team bound by these core values.
