BAI Partners with Accredible!

Beginning August 1, 2024, BAI is thrilled to join the ranks of many other reputable training and certification bodies that offer open, digital badges !

What is a Digital Open Badge?

For recipients, badges are a fantastic way to exhibit their achievements at a glance to establish credibility. Certificates are a more formal approach to credentials, featuring more face-value detail of the accomplishment. However, it is becoming more and more common for individuals to use badges across platforms as a visual snapshot of their achievement, then having the badge link back to the verified webpage that contains more information about the what achievement entails and how it was obtained.

Why Would I want a Digital Badge?

Digital badges serve as digital proof of an individual’s competences. They offer easy and instant verification from the dedicated digital credential page. Third-parties such as potential employers and recruiters can easily verify a candidate’s abilities and gain a deeper understanding of their held knowledge and skills.
