Digital badges are electronic versions of paper certificates. They are becoming a popular way to showcase skills and achievements online.
You can attach your badge to your social media profiles (like LinkedIn), email signature, resume, website, and more. Potential employers, colleagues, friends, and whānau can see an overview of what you have learned simply by clicking on the badge.
Sample digital badge
Celebrate your learning milestone…
……on LinkedIn, social media, email, your resume, and more.

Easier to share than paper certificates…
…and include lots more information about what you’ve actually learned.
We have partnered with Credly to translate the learning outcomes you’ve demonstrated into a badge, issued and managed through the company’s Acclaim Platform.
When you complete your qualification and your results have been finalised, you will be sent an email from Credly’s Acclaim platform ([email protected]) with instructions for claiming your badge and setting up your account when your results have been finalised. When you receive it, simply follow the instructions in the email to claim and share your badge.
While badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted on Credly’s Acclaim 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 easily configure your privacy settings in the Acclaim Platform. You’re in complete control of the information about yourself that is made public
