Digital Badge Program
Evolve Security Academy partners with Credly, a digital badging platform, to award our certification holders with digital badges to showcase their credentials. Digital badges can be used in email signatures, personal websites, social media sites such as LinkedIn and Twitter, as well as on electronic copies of resumes. This digital image contains verified metadata that describes your qualifications and the process required to earn them.
What is a Digital Badge?
Digital badges are online representations of your achievements. This is what Evolve Security Academy’s digital badge looks like when you add it to your LinkedIn or email signature. There is personalized metadata included in our badge logos which connects the badge to your personal certification achievement.
One-Click
Verification
Each Evolve Security Academy digital badge image contains personalized metadata that connects the badge to your personal certification achievement hosted on Credly’s Platform. This additional layer of content helps others, such as recruiters or managers, more fully understand your capabilities and high-level achievements by displaying your qualifications, specialized skills, and the process you completed to earn and maintain the credential.
When someone clicks on the digital badge, an overview page is presented on the Credly platform.
