We're committed to providing you with the tools you need to advance your career, and we know that being able to communicate your professional credentials is a necessary step for you. That's why we are excited to partner with Accredible, to provide you with digital versions of the certifications you earn with us. Digital badges can be added to your email signature to convey your professional designation or added to your LinkedIn certifications in 1-click. We believe these credentials enhance the value of your membership and your certifications with a convenient and professional representation.

What Is Accredible?

Accredible is a platform for creating digital badges. Accredible has issued millions of digital badges for professional associations around the world, for recognizing career certifications and achievements.

What are Digital Badges and Certificates?

The digital badge you will receive from Accredible is a way for you to share and validate your achievement. The certification it represents can easily be verified by viewers at any time, and the online view of the badge will communicate it’s up-to-date status to anyone attempting to verify it. When you share your badge, viewers can immediately see information about your knowledge and skills, verified by us.

Digital badges allow you to stand out as a certified expert in our industry, and give you verified credibility.

Where to find and Retrieve your Credentials

Notification emails

Once you have been issued a badge from us, you will receive an email notification (sent through Accredible) from certificates@example.com. Please allow for 2-3 business days after you complete your certification exam for your credential notice to be delivered. The notification email will be delivered to the email address you supplied and will give you a link to your badge.

Integration/Platform Link

Once you have completed your certification on the learning platform, you’ll be able to click through to view your badges on Accredible. You may need to wait a minute before your credential has finished generating. You can always access your Accredible digital badges by clicking the link in your Account settings > Badges.

What To Do With Your Digital Credential

Your digital badge should give you recognition for your newly-earned professional designation. With our secure digital badges, your new skills and knowledge can be verified and shared with employers, colleagues, or recruiters.

To get the most out of your digital badge, you can:

  • Add it to your 'Certifications' on LinkedIn (you can do this with one click on the credential)
  • Share it to your LinkedIn feed to update your network
  • Add your badge and designation to your email signature to communicate your new status with your colleagues

Recipient Directory

We're excited to give you the opportunity to be included in our organization’s Member Directory! Our verified member directory is powered by our digital badges with Accredible and allows 3rd parties to verify with us that your credential is currently valid. Potential employers can verify that only valid credential-holders are concerned, protecting the legitimacy of your new certification.

This directory is "opt-in", meaning that you won’t be visible in the directory until you set yourself as visible.

Frequently Asked Questions

In order to head off questions that your recipients might have, feel free to include answers to any help questions we have answered on our knowledgebase.

It can be helpful to give quick answers to questions like "What Happens When My Credentials Expire?" or "How Do I Sign In to My Private Credential" on your website. You can also direct to Accredible's Knowledgebase to allow your credential-holders to self-serve answers to their questions.
