FAQ

Open badges are web-enabled versions of a credential, certification or learning outcome which can be verified in real-time, online.

We have partnered with Credly to translate the learning outcomes you've demonstrated into a badge, issued and managed through the company's 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.

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. Credly also offers labor market insights, based on your skills, that you can search and apply for job opportunities right through the Credly Platform.

Credly is the end-to-end solution for issuing and managing digital credentials. Credly works with credible organizations to provide digital credentials to individuals, worldwide.

While badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted on Credly's Platform. 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.

You can share your badge directly from the Credly Platform to LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook; over email; embedded in a website or in your email signature.
