Verifying the authenticity of an IFGR diploma

A diploma is only as good as your ability to verify it. At IFGR, every certificate and diploma issued carries a unique reference that anyone — a recruiter, hotel, agency or luxury house — can check online to confirm its authenticity.

Verification is instant and free. Simply go to IFGR's verification page, enter the reference printed on the diploma or the membership card, and the system immediately confirms whether the document is authentic, up to date, or has been revoked.

This traceability protects both the graduate and the employer. The trained professional can prove, beyond doubt, the reality of their journey and skills. The employer rules out any risk of a forged document — a real concern in professions where trust is the first requirement.

What does a verified IFGR diploma actually guarantee? That it was issued at the end of a genuine path: lessons completed, final assessment passed, and luxury-service standards mastered. The reference is only assigned once these conditions are met.

A diploma may also show as “revoked”. IFGR retains the ability to withdraw the validity of a title in the event of a serious breach of the profession's ethical rules. Verification therefore reflects the real, current status of the title, not merely a static document.

To verify a diploma, go to ifgr.io/verify-cert and enter its reference. For recruiters and partners in the sector, it is the safest way to make sure a professional has indeed been trained and certified by the Institute.
