How it works for issuers
Authentication & verification
With BadgeCert you know that all badges are 100% verified and current. Issuers are able to set badge expiration rules and mitigate the risk of earners sharing expired or revoked badges.
Recipients of shared badges (e.g. employers, industry organizations) can rest assured that these are indeed verified and current.
Customizable experience
BadgeCert is designed to fully maximize your organization’s marketing and sales objectives, thanks to our multilingual capabilities, customizable email templates, automated badge expiration reminders, and comprehensive downloadable reports.
By streamlining credential management and enhancing digital engagement, our platform empowers your team to strengthen brand visibility, boost recipient motivation, and gain valuable insights through data-driven analytics — all within a secure, user-friendly system.
Marketing support & strategy consulting
We’re committed to helping your organization meet and exceed its goals. That’s why we’ll provide you with expert-lead strategy support services, a marketing “launch kit” with tons of ideas and suggestions, and 1:1 marketing support.
These professional services are all included at no additional cost and are a key differentiator that will help your organization create a highly successful and meaningful program that leverages our feature-rich technology.
Micro-credentialing & stackable credentials
BadgeCert enables issuers to create “stackable credentials” or “micro-credentials”. This advanced feature allows you to create business rules that dictate the pathway towards mastery of professional skills.
You can also add unique detailed information (metadata) to each badge to further qualify the nature of the earned credential.
Analytics
How successful is your credentialing program? No more guessing with BadgeCert’s dashboard!
Our proprietary reporting and analytics tool provides organizations with 24/7 real-time data such as badge sharing, badge clicks, and overall earner usage.
API, LTI, and Integrations
BadgeCert is built to integrate with the systems you already use, including your LMS, AMS, or CRM. In addition to full API access for deep integrations, BadgeCert also supports Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) v1.3. This enables a reliable connection with modern LMS platforms (including Canvas) and reduces manual steps in issuing and managing credentials.
You can also integrate via Zapier for no-code automation, or choose a lightweight approach such as secure file-based workflows when that better fits your internal process.
SOC 2 certified
BadgeCert is SOC 2 certified, which means an independent audit has validated how we protect customer data and operate the platform securely.
For many organizations, SOC 2 is an important requirement for vendor assessment, procurement, and internal security reviews. In practical terms, it’s another layer of confidence that BadgeCert is built and run with security, reliability, and accountability as core principles.
How it works for earners
24/7 access to your cloud-based portfolio
BadgeCert offers earners a universal web based portfolio to maintain a detailed digital record of your achievements and professional activities.
Personalize your learning experience
BadgeCert’s digital badges are fully customizable, so you can match your brand and clearly reflect the achievement being recognized.
Badges can also be saved directly to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, giving learners a simple way to keep credentials on their phone and share proof instantly, without searching through old emails.
Share and celebrate your achievements
Badges are meant to be shared and celebrated! Integrated with popular social networking sites, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and X, earners can easily share their accomplishments directly from their portfolios with colleagues, employers, and licensing boards.
Paper certificates and plaques
Badges can be embedded with a customized PDF that enables an earner to produce a paper copy of their badge. Earners can also be linked to a source to purchase high quality plaques for display.
