Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about digital badges

What are digital badges?
Digital badges are verified, portable representations of skills, achievements, or qualifications. They contain embedded metadata that allows employers and institutions to verify their authenticity. Unlike paper certificates, digital badges can be shared online, embedded in websites, and verified instantly by anyone.
What is Open Badges 3.0?
Open Badges 3.0 is the latest version of the open technical standard for digital credentials developed by 1EdTech (formerly IMS Global). It ensures that badges are portable, verifiable, and interoperable across different platforms and systems worldwide. Our platform is fully compliant with this standard.
How do recipients receive their badges?
When you issue a credential, the recipient receives an email notification with a secure link to claim their badge. They can create a free account to accept the badge, which is then added to their digital portfolio. From there, they can share it on LinkedIn, embed it on websites, or download it.
How can employers verify a badge?
Every credential has a unique verification page that displays the badge details, issuer information, and cryptographic proof of authenticity. Employers can visit this page to confirm the credential is valid, see when it was issued, and verify the issuing organization. No special software is required.
Can I integrate with my existing LMS or HR system?
Yes! Our REST API allows you to automate credential issuance from any learning management system, HR platform, or custom application. You can issue badges automatically when learners complete courses or employees achieve milestones. Webhooks provide real-time notifications for credential events.
Is there a free plan available?
