A Digital badge adheres to an open standard being led by the Mozilla Foundation for recognizing and validating learning. It is a secure, web-enabled credential that contains real-time verifiable information employers can use to evaluate an individual's qualifications.

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.

Your APTD or CPTD credential is earned only after receiving a passing score on the APTD or CPTD certification exam. Digital badges are a web-enabled, digital representation of that certification, enriched with a standardized set of meta data that verify your achievement. You would be granted the digital badge after completion of the certification exams.

We have partnered with Credly to translate the knowledge and skills you’ve demonstrated into a badge, issued and managed through the company’s Acclaim platform. The technology Credly uses on its Acclaim platform is based on the Open Badge Standards maintained by IMS Global. This enables you to manage, share, and verify your competencies digitally.

Credly is the end-to-end solution for issuing and managing digital credentials. Credly works with credible organizations to provide digital credentials to individuals, worldwide.
