Platform

Authentication & Verification

BadgeCert assures that issued / shared badges are 100% verified and current. Issuers are able to set badge expiration rules (disappear or gray out); mitigating the risk of earners sharing expired or revoked badges. Recipients of BadgeCert shared badges (e.g. employers, industry organizations) can rest assured that the badges they receive are indeed verified and current.

Embedded Evidence

BadgeCert allows issuers to add unique detailed information (called metadata) to each badge that helps to further qualify the nature of the earned credential.

Micro-credentialing & Stackable credentials

BadgeCert enables organizations to create “stackable credentials” or "micro-credentials". This advanced feature allows issuers to create business rules that dictate the pathway towards mastery of professional skills. Rules may include a hierarchy of competencies, credentials, or continuing education experiences needed to level-up to a “Master” badge.

Customizable Badge Design

BadgeCert offers an industry exclusive design tool that enables issuers to create custom badge icons. BadgeCert provides standard templates, or offers issuers the ability to easily upload their own badge artwork to create truly unique, on brand, digital credentials.

For organizations that also require paper or wallet certificates, BadgeCert offers custom designed certificates that can be printed directly by earners from within BadgeCert, thus reducing the labor and cost associated with printing and mailing paper certificates.
