Frequently asked questions

What are digital badges?

Digital badges are an electronic representation of your achievement that is visual, available online and embedded with metadata that provides context, meaning and the result of an activity. They are easy to manage, verified in real-time and able to be shared online. Digital badges provide employers evidence of what you have done and why it's important.
How does my certification get displayed as a digital badge?

We have partnered with Credly to translate the learning outcomes you’ve demonstrated in our training courses into a badge, issued and managed through the company digital badging platform. The technology Credly uses is based on the Open Badge Standards maintained by IMS Global. This enables you to manage, share and verify your competencies digitally.
What are the benefits of displaying my achievement as a badge?

Representing your skills as a badge gives you a way to share your abilities online in a way that is simple, trusted and can be easily verified in real time. Badges provide employers and peers concrete evidence of what you had to do to earn your credential and what you’re now capable of.
How can I be sure to receive my badge notification email?

To make sure you receive your badge notification email, and that it doesn't wind up in your spam folder, add admin@credly.com as a contact or safe sender in your email settings.
How do I share my badge?
Using Credly's sharing options, earners can share their badges directly to LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook from their Credly account.

To share your badge:

Log into your account on Credly

Select the badge you would like to share

At the top of the page, select the blue "Share" button

You will be brought to the “Share Badge” screen where you can find different tabs directing you to connect your social media accounts and share your badge

Once your social media account is connected, just click "Share" to share your digital badge
Can I attach my badge to my email signature?

Yes, adding a hyperlinked badge image to your email signature is a great way to make sure your professional network is aware of your certifications, credentials and other badge-worthy recognition. Learn how to attach your badge to your email signature.
How do I add my badge to my LinkedIn profile?

LinkedIn now requires individuals to manually add information about their certification in order to share their badge to their profile. Learn how to add your badge details to the new LinkedIn profile.
What if I don't want my badge to be public?

You can easily configure your privacy settings in Credly. You’re in complete control of the information about yourself that is made public. If you don’t want to badge, you can completely discard it.
What’s to keep someone else from copying my badge and using it?

While badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted on Credly. This link to verified data makes them more reliable and secure than a paper-based certificate. It also eliminates the possibility of anyone claiming your credential and your associated identity.
Is there a fee to use digital badges?

No. This is a service we provide to you, at no cost.
