Open Badges – your shiny official qualification certificate

Your Open Badge (or badges if you’re qualified beyond Lumina Spark) helps showcase your skillset in a well presented, digitally focused and verified way.  Whether you’re newly qualified in one of our tools, or looking to highlight your existing credentials, they’re a great way to sharpen up your personal brand and show what you do.

Now a popular standard feature of many learning management systems, Open Badges (which also go by the name of ‘micro-credentials’) are visual tokens of verifiable achievements earned by recipients and easily shared online and via social media.

More than just a pretty image

• Share them on social posts
• Share your link to take people to your badge’s landing page. with a brief overview of your skillset and qualification
• Your badges can be checked and verified by anyone for authenticity, with your details automatically personalised within the badge.

A LinkedIn study found that digital credentials increase profile views by 600% !*
