Digital Badges

No! For a one-time fee of $5 per credential, you may purchase your digital badge at any time.

ABRET has partnered with Credly to translate the learning outcomes you’ve demonstrated into a badge, issued and managed through the company’s Acclaim Platform. This enables you to manage, share, and verify your competencies digitally.

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. Credly’s Acclaim Platform also offers labor market insights, based on your skills. You can search and apply for job opportunities through the Acclaim platform.

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

No. This is a service ABRET provides to you, at no cost. However, if you would rather not wait until your recertification year, you may purchase your badge early for a one-time fee of $5 per credential.

While badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted on Credly’s Acclaim Platform. 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.

Labor market insights are available for our certification exams and are pulled from live job requisitions. Based on your demonstrated skills you can see which employers are hiring, what job titles you might be qualified for, salary ranges, and more. Access the labor market insights from your badge details page by clicking on Related Jobs, or by clicking on the skill tags assigned to your badge.
