CREDLY CREDENTIALS
These powerful digital badges will give you a new way to feel proud of reaching your potential; share your success with others for recognition and celebration; and, experience joy and fulfilment from your achievements as we enter the future of work. I’ve partnered with Credly to provide you with a digital version for credentials earned through Passion Pioneers. Digital badges can be used in email signatures or digital resumes, and on social media sites such as LinkedIn. This digital image contains verified data that describes your credentials and the process required to earn them.
FAQS WITH CREDLY BADGES
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: I’ve partnered with Credly to translate the learning outcomes you’ve demonstrated into a badge, issued and managed through Passion Pioneers’ 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.
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 can be 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 labour market insights, based on your skills. You can search and apply for job opportunities right through Credly.
