A circuits table, not one circuit at a time.

Tradecert gives you a full circuits table, so you edit a whole board at once instead of opening circuits one at a time.

Pair that with a faster PDF viewer and built-in logic throughout, and certificates get finished in a fraction of the taps.

Your certificates can't just disappear.

Tradecert runs on Firebase (Google Cloud) the same enterprise cloud tech behind major apps worldwide.

Every change is versioned, so you can rewind a certificate to an earlier state. Because iCertifi stores data on the device, there's no cloud safety net if something goes wrong.

Every certificate in one app.

No extra subscriptions.

Electrical, PAT, EV, Solar PV, Fire domestic/Fire commercial and Emergency Lighting all live in the same Tradecert app on one subscription.

You're not buying (or learning) a separate app every time a job needs a different certificate.

Electrical: BS 7671 | Solar PV: BS EN 62446-1 | PAT: BS EN 50699 | EV: BS 7671 Section 722 | Fire | Domestic: BS 5839-6 | Fire Commercial: BS 5839-1 | Emergency Lighting: BS 5266-1

Real-time collaboration with names on the cert.

When one electrician makes a change, everyone else sees it instantly — and you can see who's editing what as they move through the certificate.

It's built for firms running several electricians on one job, not just sole traders.

AI that's been tested more and where it matters.

Tradecert's AI is the most used in the trade, and it's been put to work by enterprise teams including eco approach, Selwood and Hawkesworth.

Point it at a board photo, a PDF or your test results and it fills the circuits for you.

Not locked into Apple.

Tradecert works on iOS, Android and the web, with every user having their own secure login. It also supports flexible multi-user billing, making it easy to add, remove and manage team members as your business grows.

Because subscriptions aren't tied to a single app store or shared Apple account, businesses have far more flexibility over how they purchase and manage licences. Whether your team uses iPhone, Android or a mix of both, everyone can work seamlessly from the same account.

Always current with IET amendments.

When the IET publishes an amendment, Tradecert ships it fast — the April A4 changes were live in our app in May. Our certificates follow the current IET model forms, without legacy fields that shouldn't be there.

Built and backed by a real team.

Tradecert is built by a team of ten senior developers, all in-house. When something needs fixing or you need a hand, there's a real support team to reach and direct contact number — it's a big reason electricians trust us with their compliance.

Rated 4.9 by electricians who've used both

Tradecert holds 4.9 on Trustpilot from 175 reviews. iCertifi holds 1.7 from 17. A lot of our reviews come from electricians who switched:

Tradecert is great, and has been pivotal for our company. We were previously using iCertifi, which we found to be clunky, and not easy to operate with numerous electricians. In comparison, Tradecert is in a league of its own - with constant beneficial updates and built with both single users and enterprises in mind. This is the software we’ve been searching for, for years!
