Endorsements add further credibility to a badge. They allow a third party such as an employer, professional body, or education provider, to formally vouch for the quality and relevance of the badge and the programme it represents. An endorsement usually includes your organisation's name, logo, and a short description.
Note: Are you the badge owner looking to add endorsements to your own badge? See Creating a Badge for how to set up endorsements on a badge you own.
Why your endorsement is important
Your endorsement helps learners gain recognition from employers and education providers. It shows that the skills and knowledge behind the badge are valued in the real world, making the badge more meaningful and motivating for learners. It also highlights your organisation as a supporter of local talent and skills development.
