I work for an Apple school and would like to know if your parts are Apple certified?
Is this a good question?

iFixit offers both OEM and non-OEM replacement Apple parts. For example we offer three different rear panels for the iPhone 4 (GSM).
- Here is a non-OEM replacement rear panel: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPho...
- Here is another non-OEM replacement rear panel: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPho...
- Here is an OEM replacement rear panel: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPho...
You'll notice that if a product is OEM, we will list it in the Product Overview section of the product page.

No. And thank goodness!
Apple does not allow any true Apple original parts outside of their own tightly controlled repair stream. They also control the pricing of their repair centers. Hence--a phone repaired using true Apple parts costs $279-$349
Independent shops using "original-quality" parts--often indistinguishable from Apple parts---can offer a reasonable competitive repair rate.
Most iFixit parts are in this category.
Steer clear of ebay/Amazon parts. There is a wide variation in part quality.
