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

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

By representing your skills as a badge, you can conveniently share your competencies online, which can be easily verified in real time. Badges provide employers and peers with concrete evidence of how your credentials were acquired and your expertise. Credly also offers labour market insights based on your skills, allowing you to search and apply for job opportunities.

Credly is the end-to-end solutions provider for issuing and managing digital credentials. Credly works with credible organisations to provide digital credentials to individuals worldwide.

You will receive an email notification from Credly (admin@credly.com) with instructions to claim your badge and set up your account.

You can easily configure your privacy settings in Credly. You are in complete control of your personal information that is made public.

We are pleased to provide this service on a complimentary basis.

While badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted on Credly, making them more reliable and secure than a paper-based certificate. It also eliminates the possibility of anyone claiming your credentials and associated identity.

You can share your badge from Credly to LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. You can also share it via email or embed it in a website or your email signature. To share your badge:

1. Log into your account on www.credly.com
2. Select the badge you'd like to share
3. At the top of the page, select the Green "Share" button
4. 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.

Yes, your badge contains Open Badge Infrastructure (OBI) compliant metadata, which is embedded into the image. This allows you to store your badge on other OBI-compliant sites, e.g., Badgr Backpack. You may download your badge from the Share Badge page.
