The digital badge is a web-enabled way for you to share your professional achievements, experience, and credentials to others. You can embed the badge on your email signatures, website and resumes and share in different social media platforms. GFI badges represent achievements valued by employers, students, your peers and prospective clients. Badges will help you tell your professional story in a way that is complete and validated.
Badges are digital assets used to communicate a learning achievement or credential. GFI badges link to metadata that provides context and verification. They can be shared across the Internet for maximum visibility and recognition. Badges are a standard to recognize and verify learning. A badge communicates three things without sacrificing verification or context.
You can share your badges with anyone through digital platforms, including on social media, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and via email signature or embedded in a website.
Here are helpful links to instructions on how to share, attach or embed your digital badge.
Representing your skills as a badge gives you a way to share your abilities online in a way that is simple, trusted and can be easily verified in real time. Badges provide employers and peers concrete evidence of what you had to do to earn your credential and what you’re now capable of.
We have partnered with Credly to translate the learning outcomes you’ve demonstrated into a badge. 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.
While badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted on the Credly platform. This link to verified data makes them more reliable and secure than a paper-based certification. It also eliminates the possibility of anyone claiming your credential and your associated identity.
