Digital Credentials

What is a Digital Credential?

A badge issued through Credly is a digital representation of a learning outcome, experience or competency. Credly digital credentials can be shared and verified online in a way that is easy and secure. Credly digital credentials link to metadata that provides context and verification. They can be shared across the Internet for maximum visibility and recognition.

 

 

 

 

You can earn a badge for lots of different things, from many different organizations. What makes the digital credentials issued to you from Credly unique is that they represent achievements valued by employers. Digital credentials managed through Credly will help you tell your professional story in a way that is complete and validated.

 

You can share your digital credentials with anyone you’d like, wherever you’d like:
