Digital badges are quickly becoming the global standard for recognising and publicising professional development. Sharing your digital badge with your social and professional networks (see “How do I share my badge?” below) helps you gain recognition for your achievement from clients, colleagues, and potential employers.
A digital badge strengthens the credibility and visually declares your commitment to quality. According to a recent LinkedIn study, profiles with certifications and badges receive six times the number of profile views. Watch this video(1:38) for an overview.
Once a digital badge’s specific criteria are met, you will be issued a digital badge approximately 15 business days or less. You will receive an email fromadmin@youracclaim.comwith instructions and a link to claim your badge on the Acclaim platform.
