About Vervain Verified
Bringing Credibility to the Credential Economy

Founded by Becky Borello, M.Ed., MBA, Vervain Verified draws on deep expertise in instructional design, workforce development, and educational quality assurance to set a new standard for what a microcredential should be.
The Vervain Verified Standard
