The opportunity

Turn product expertise into certification

Software and cloud companies increasingly certify the people who use their products — customers, in-house experts, and partners or resellers — through their own branded academy. It builds trust, drives adoption, and creates a network of credentialed advocates.

But most exam platforms are built for universities and awarding bodies, not software teams. Synap is different: it’s dev-centric and API-first, so companies like Gearset run their product certification on it and wire it straight into the tools they already use.

Built for the education ecosystem

  • ✕ Integrations limited to LTI and Azure
  • ✕ APIs that cover a fraction of the platform
  • ✕ Looks and feels like someone else’s product

Built for your stack

  • Connects to Segment, Zapier, Auth0, Stripe, MCP
  • A complete API — the one we build Synap on
  • Fully white-labelled as your own academy

Why most exam tools miss

Education-first platforms weren’t made for this

The tools built for universities and awarding bodies make software-company certification harder than it should be.

  • They speak “education”, not SaaS

    Integrations assume LTI and student information systems, not the CRM, auth and analytics stack a software company actually runs on.

  • APIs are an afterthought

    Most platforms expose a thin slice of functionality over an API, so you can’t truly automate your certification programme.

  • It never feels like your product

    Limited branding means your academy looks like a third-party tool, not a seamless extension of your own platform.

API-first & dev-centric

A complete API — the same one we build on

We’re not aware of another platform in our category with an API this comprehensive. Where others expose a limited subset of features, ours does everything — because it’s the same API Synap itself is built on.

Drive the entire certification lifecycle from your own systems: create content, enrol candidates, deliver exams and pull results, with real-time webhooks and an MCP connection for AI-native automation.

Explore the API & webhooks

  • The whole platform, over the API

    Anything you can do in the UI, you can do via a documented REST API.

  • Real-time webhooks

    React the moment a candidate passes, fails or a certificate is issued.

  • MCP connection

    Let AI agents run enrolment, scheduling and reporting for you.

  • Open standards

    A REST API on the JSON:API standard with a published OpenAPI schema.

Fits your stack

Plug into the tools you already use

Synap isn’t limited to the education ecosystem. Connect the tools a modern software business actually runs on — the same ones you’d expect a good CRM to support.

Sync events to Segment, automate with Zapier and no-code, authenticate with Auth0 or JWT, and take payment with Stripe so customers can buy, enrol and get certified in one seamless flow.

See all integrations

  • Analytics & no-code

    Segment, Zapier and 8,000+ apps — no engineering required.

  • Modern auth

    Auth0, JWT, SAML and more, not just LTI and Azure.

  • Payments with Stripe

    Sell certifications and enrol buyers automatically on purchase.

  • Embed anywhere

    Drop exams into your own app or docs with embeddable iframes.

On-demand & automated

Certification that runs itself

Your customers don’t wait for an exam date, and neither should your programme. Certifications run continuously and hands-off: a purchase or signup enrols the candidate, they sit the exam on demand, it’s auto-marked, a certificate is issued, and a webhook tells your systems it happened.

Scale to thousands of candidates without adding admin — the platform does the work.

Explore continuous, on-demand exams

  • Buy → enrol → certify

    A seamless, automated flow from purchase to credential.

  • Instant, auto-marked results

    Objective exams are scored and certified in seconds.

  • Progressive resits & versioning

    Automatic retake rules and versioned exams as your product evolves.

Make it your own

Your academy, your brand

To your customers, it should feel like your product — not a third-party exam tool. Synap white-labels completely, so your certification academy lives under your brand from end to end.

Run it on your own custom domain, send emails from your address, tailor the experience with dynamic variables and custom pages, and embed it wherever your users already are.
