9 Journeys. 90 Concepts. One Credential.
Each concept follows a proven 3-stage learning loop that builds real competence, not just familiarity.
Structured explanation with SA industry context — Eskom scenarios, Sasol plant examples, Groote Schuur hospital systems. Your AI tutor asks Socratic questions instead of giving you the answer.
Falstad sims · Khan Academy integration · SAQA-mapped content
Hands-on circuit simulation in-browser. Wire up real circuits, measure voltage, watch Ohm's Law play out live — no hardware required, no lab booking needed.
Falstad CircuitJS · LTspice · Logisim · OpenModelica
Application-focused questions, not memorisation. Get it wrong and the AI instantly explains the exact misconception — building the right mental model, not just the right answer.
Wrong answer AI feedback · Mastery tracking · +XP rewards

Your AI tutor never gives you the answer.
The ForgeAI tutor uses Socratic questioning — it asks you the right question to guide you to the insight yourself. Research shows this builds 3× deeper retention than reading explanations. Powered by Claude, optimised for SA engineering context.

FORGE AI
Good question! You know how a capacitor charges over time in an RC circuit — the voltage grows in a curved pattern. What do you think happens to that voltage as each second passes? Does it increase by the same amount each time, or does the rate of change itself change?

+10 XP per correct review · 3 min/day keeps knowledge sharp
Never forget what you learned last month.
CircuitForge uses the SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm — the same science behind Anki — to schedule 3-minute daily review sessions at the exact moment your brain is about to forget a concept. Your knowledge doesn't decay. It compounds.
- ✓5 mastery states: New → Fresh → Solid → Fading → Forgotten
- ✓AI generates new application questions — not the same drill
- ✓Colour-coded mastery rings on every concept card
- ✓+10 XP per correct review answer
A credential employers can verify in 10 seconds.
Complete all 9 journeys and earn the CircuitForge Certified Technician credential — anchored to the Polygon blockchain so it can never be faked, inflated, or forged. Every cert has a public verification URL and a one-click LinkedIn add.
- ✓Publicly verifiable at circuitforge.dalab.co.za/verify/[cert]
- ✓On-chain hash — tamper-proof, permanent

Know exactly what a candidate can do
before the interview.
CircuitForge credentials are not participation trophies. They are verified proof of competence — auditable, tamper-proof, and linked to a full skills breakdown.
10-Second Verification
Every cert has a public URL. Scan it, see the graduate's name, issue date, and blockchain hash. No login. No calls to HR.
Full Skills Passport
See journey-by-journey completion (%), quiz average score, practical task results, and earned badges — not just a certificate number.
Tamper-Proof On-Chain
Every cert hash is anchored to the Polygon blockchain. It cannot be altered, backdated, or faked. Forever.
Hiring electrical technicians?
Ask candidates for their CircuitForge passport URL. Verify their credential in seconds.
Deliver SAQA-aligned training at scale.
Without a physical lab.
CircuitForge replaces expensive hardware labs with browser-based circuit simulation, while the AI handles first-line tutoring so your instructors can focus on what only humans can do.
Command Intel Dashboard
See every student's mastery state in real time. At-risk learners are automatically flagged 72 hours before they drop off — giving you time to intervene.
SETA-Ready Audit Trail
Every lesson completion, quiz score, and practical submission is logged with timestamps. Satisfies EWSETA and MERSETA digital audit requirements.
4-Language Delivery
Serve Afrikaans, isiZulu, and Sesotho cohorts from the same platform. No separate content required — AI translates in real time.
National Competitions
Run sponsored national skills competitions (Operation IronForge) to motivate cohorts and identify top talent for industry partners.
