Share your accomplishments with a digital credential!

We’re committed to providing you with the tools necessary to achieve your professional goals and we understand that communicating your credentials in an ever-expanding online marketplace can be challenging. That’s why we have partnered with Credly to provide you with a digital version of your credentials. Digital badges can be used in email signatures or digital resumes, and on social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter). Your digital badge contains verified metadata that describes your qualifications and the process required to earn them. 

FAQs

What is a digital badge?

Digital badges are web-enabled versions of a credential, certification, or learning outcome which can be verified online in real-time. They recognize a professional or learning achievement, like what you accomplished in completing one of our programs. 

How does my certification get displayed as a badge?

We have partnered with Credly to translate the learning outcomes you’ve demonstrated in our programs into a badge, issued and managed through the company digital badging platform. The technology Credly uses is based on the Open Badge Standards maintained by IMS Global. This enables you to manage, share, and verify your competencies digitally.

Why is BenchStrength Coaching® offering digital badges?

We know you work hard to complete our programs, and we want to make it easy for you to share that accomplishment on your social media pages, email signatures, and other platforms. Digital badges provide employers and peers concrete evidence of what you had to do to earn your credential and what you’re now capable of. 

Why is BenchStrength Coaching® partnering with Credly?

Credly is an end-to-end solution for issuing and managing digital credentials. They work with credible organizations to provide digital credentials to individuals worldwide to promote their skills and achievements. 

How will I know if I’ve earned a badge?

After you’ve successfully completed one of our programs, you will receive an email notification from Credly (admin@credly.com) with instructions for claiming your badge and setting up your account. This email will arrive 1-3 weeks after your last workshop session to the same email you used during the program.

What if I don’t want my badge to be public?

You can easily configure your privacy settings in Credly. You’re in complete control of the information about yourself that is made public.

Is there a fee to use Credly?

No. This is a service we provide to you, at no cost.

What’s to keep someone else from copying my badge and using it

While badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted on Credly. This link to verified data makes them more reliable and secure than a paper-based certificate. It also eliminates the possibility of anyone claiming your credential and your associated identity.

Where and how can I share my badge through Credly?

You can share your badge directly from Credly to LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook; over email; embedded in a website or in your email signature.

Can I export badges issued through Credly to other badge-storing platforms?

Yes, you can download your badge from the Share Badge page. Your downloaded badge contains Open Badge Infrastructure (OBI) compliant metadata embedded into the image. This allows you to store your badge on other OBI-compliant badge sites, such as the Badgr Backpack.
