Badges are web-enabled versions of a credential, certification or learning outcome which can be verified in real-time, online.

Avid has partnered to translate the learning outcomes you’ve demonstrated into a badge, issued and managed through the Credly digital badging platform. This enables you to accept, manage, share and verify your competencies digitally. The Credly technology is based on the Open Badge Standards maintained by IMS Global.

Representing your skills as a badge gives you a way to share your abilities online in a way that is simple and trusted. Your unique digital badge can be easily sharde on social media, your resume, your email signature, and elsewhere. Your digital badge proves that you have met the requirements to be Avid Certified. The badge includes information about your certification 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. Digital credentials also include labor market insights, based on your skills, so you can search and apply for job opportunities right through Credly.
