What Are Digital Badges?
Digital badges are dynamic, 21st-century credentials that tell your whole certification and training story. Because digital badges allow employers to easily see the full picture of your accomplishments, including verifiable skills and achievements, they’re becoming the new standard in training and certification and the future of e-learning.
Bridge is excited to partner with Credly, a leader in digital badging, to bring this innovative new credential to the TEFL/TESOL space! Now Bridge graduates can collect, showcase, and share their accomplishments using digital badges on Credly’s Acclaim platform.
