Congratulations on earning a digital badge! Whether you’ve completed a learning activity, gained a new skill, or achieved a milestone, your badge is a verified, shareable way to showcase your accomplishments.
Unlike traditional certificates, digital badges provide key details such as who issued them, what criteria were met, and proof of achievement. They are designed to be shared online and recognised by employers, educators, and professional networks.
Now, let’s explore why digital badges matter and how you can make the most of yours.
Why digital badges matter
Your badge is more than an image. It carries secure metadata that proves who issued it, what you did to earn it, and that it genuinely belongs to you, so it is a verifiable way to show your skills and growth over time.
Every claimed badge has its own public verification page, so employers and institutions can confirm it instantly.
It gives visual, verifiable proof of specific skills, beyond what a traditional CV shows.
As you earn more badges, they build a picture of your continuous learning.
Where to share your badge
Once you have claimed a badge, share it wherever you want your skills to be seen:
Add it to your LinkedIn profile under Licenses and Certifications, alongside your verified skills.
Download it for your CV and link it to its verification page so recruiters can check the details.
Add it to your email signature so it appears on every message you send.
Post it on X, Facebook, or other social platforms to reach a wider audience.
Tip: Add your badge to LinkedIn first. That is where most recruiters will see it.
What’s next?
Keep building your portfolio. The more badges you earn, the more verified skills you can showcase.
