Our open badging program is powered by Credly — the most comprehensive and connected digital credentialing solution.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is an open badge?
A: Open badges are web-enabled versions of a credential, certification, or learning outcome, which can be verified in real time, online.
Q: How does my certification get displayed as a badge?
A: We have partnered with Credly to translate the learning outcomes you’ve demonstrated into a badge. The technology Credly uses is based on the Open Badge standards defined by Mozilla. This enables you to manage, share, and verify your competencies digitally.
Q: What are the benefits of a badge?
A: Representing your skills as a badge gives you a way 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 the Credly platform.
Q: Who is Credly?
A: Credly hosts the largest and most connected digital credential network. In 2018, Credly acquired Acclaim — a product of Pearson, the world’s learning company — and together, the Credly Acclaim platform is the most comprehensive global solution for recognizing skills, capabilities, and achievements, reaching everywhere learning takes place and skills are assessed. Credly works with credible organizations to provide digital credentials to individuals worldwide.
