What is a Digital Badge?
Your digital badge is a great way to showcase your knowledge and indicate that you’ve achieved the level of quality, skill, and expertise that a non-credentialed financial professional hasn’t been exposed to in her or his career. With Accredible’s secure digital badges, your achievement can be shared with – and verified by – colleagues, clients, prospects, and employers.
To stand out as an expert and get the most out of your digital badge, we recommend you:
- 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 to your email signature to communicate your new status with your colleagues
- Share your credential across your other social profiles
Your badge is always accessible through My Learning Hub and present at https://badges.theamericancollege.edu/issuer/38019/credentials. You can share your achievement on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook with a single click or embed your credential on your website and in your email signature.
Take advantage of searchability and have your achievement be discoverable on search engines or set it to private and share with only select people. How and when you share your credential is up to you.
Key Questions on Digital Bading
Get your pressing questions answered on how to access and best use your digital badge.
When will I receive my digital badge?
Digital badges will be awarded once all the academic, and in some cases experience requirements, are met and maintained. Graduates and designees will receive a notification at the email address on file within their Student Portal with a link to claim their digital badge.
Are their compliance issues for me to use my digital badge for business?
It is the responsibility for recipients of digital badges to make sure they follow their company’s compliance guidelines for use of badges in email signatures, on websites, and in social media.
Will my digital badge expire?
Designees required to participate in the Professional Recertification Program will have to meet their annual recertification requirements to maintain their active status and right to use the designation marks. Digital badges awarded for graduate degree programs never expire.
