Digital Badges
Like a physical testamur, or certificate of attainment, digital badges are a visual representation of an achievement, skill, or knowledge that you can earn by completing a course.
Digital badges are a tangible way to share and your credentials as part of your online CV, portfolio or on social media. They are designed to be easily verified by employers, other verification agencies, and recruitment professionals and adhere to regional and global credential frameworks.
Certificates, their associated digital badges and designations are aligned to the Governance Institute Capability Framework.
