Digital credentials

Whether you’re a training provider or college wanting to assist learners in highlighting their achievements, or an employer looking to enhance their internal training initiatives, our digital credentials can offer valuable opportunities for you.

What are digital credentials?

Digital credentials are an easy way for your learners to share their achievements online instantly, making them more visible to professional networks and potential employers.

They are issued automatically to learners once they have successfully completed their qualification or programme.

How do they work?

Digital credentials are verified, shareable, data-rich representations of an individual's achievements in the form of a digital badge, allowing easy communication of their capabilities without needing a CV.
 
These credentials include metadata detailing the skills, competencies, and requirements needed to earn them, offering employers and professional networks concrete evidence of the learner’s abilities.

Benefits of digital credentials for your learners

Stand out from the crowd

Representing skills as digital credentials, allows learners to share their abilities online in a simple, trusted and easily verifiable way. They also contain metadata that outlines the skills, competencies, and requirements needed to earn them. This gives employers and professional networks clear evidence of what learners accomplished to obtain their credentials and what they are now capable of.

Remove stress from CV writing

Choosing what to include on CVs can be overwhelming, but digital credentials eliminate this hassle. The metadata within these credentials helps learners understand and articulate their skills, reducing CV writing stress and boosting confidence.
