Your official digital badge from Credly is an open badge. It’s a quality credential that will clearly explain your knowledge and skills, what you learned, and where you earned it. It’s easy to share, secure, and a trusted method for verification providing legitimacy and credibility.

Open badges are web-enabled versions of a credential that can be verified in real-time, online by potential employers or industry professionals.

We have partnered with Credly to ensure your demonstrated outcomes are listed on your badge. The technology used 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 allows you to share your abilities online in a way that is simple, trusted, and 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. You can search and apply for job opportunities right through Credly.
