Digital Badges

Digital Badges lie at the core of our commitment to recognising individuals' achievements beyond formally accredited qualifications, motivating creative learning, and fuelling ambition. Through our membership with Cities of Learning and Badge Nation, we provide young people with verifiable records of achievement that can be invaluable for future employment and personal development. All our badges are quality assured, meeting the RSA Badge Standard and are a reliable indicator of skill and accomplishment.

You can write a badge about anything, and award it to anyone that has achieved the specified criteria. Whereas an old-fashioned certificate may just title the activity and the date that it was achieved, a digital badge clearly displays the earning criteria and skills involved in completing that activity, immortalising it online and giving earners the power, tools, and language to articulate their experiences when seeking future opportunities.
