Navigatr badges are digital credentials issued by organisations to recognise skills, achievements, and learning experiences. This article explains the different ways you can earn one.
How to earn a badge
Via earn link
Some badges include an Earn badge link that takes you to an external site. This could be a quiz, a form, or further instructions on how to earn the badge.
Via activity
Activities are talks, workshops, courses, and events that lead to badges. If the badge is included in any activities, they will be listed on its page. The badge will be issued to you automatically when you attend. See Registering for an Activity and Understanding Your Personal QR Code.
Via direct issue
Some badges can only be issued directly by the provider after you meet their criteria. You can read through the badge page for more information about who can earn the badge, and how.
Contact the provider if you are unsure what you need to do to qualify. You will receive an email with a link to claim the badge when it is issued. See Claiming or Viewing Your Badge.
Where your badges live
All badges issued to you appear on your profile under the Badges tab. You can view any badge's full details by clicking on it, including who issued it, when, and the criteria you met.
From your Badges tab you can also share your badges, download a certificate, or check the public verification page. See Sharing Your Achievements, Downloading Your Badge Certificate, and Verifying Your Navigatr Badge.
If a badge you expected hasn't arrived
If you completed something and the badge hasn't appeared, work through these steps.
Check your spam folder. The issuing email can sometimes land there.
Check which email address the badge was sent to. Badges are sent to the address the issuer entered, which may not be the one you usually sign in with. If it went to a different address, see Adding Multiple Emails to Your Account to link it to your profile.
Contact the issuer. They can confirm whether the badge has been issued and to which address.
If the issuer can't help, contact [email protected].
