Benefits of Digital Badging
Accessibility and Convenience: You will always have access to your most up to date digital badge online with the option to print a high-quality PDF or PNG at your convenience.
Streamlined Skill Verification: Your digital badge has instant verification. Each digital badge includes a clickable link that allows others to verify its authenticity. When clicked, this link takes the viewer to a webpage (i.e. credential URL) that provides all the details about the badge.
Transparency and Credibility: Digital badges offer a standardized method for tracking competencies and accomplishments, providing a clear and consistent way to measure and acknowledge skills. They act as a form of endorsement, enabling institutions or organizations to gain recognition as leaders in their field by demonstrating their capacity to effectively assess and validate achievements.
Shareable: Digital badges enhance professional visibility and allow you to share your accomplishments with your network. They easily fit into online profiles, social media, email signatures, and personal websites.
Digital Badge FAQ
How do I Access My Digital Badge for the First Time?
Once your credential is issued, you will receive an email with a link to view it.
Clicking the link for the first time will automatically sign you in to your new credential. You will then be prompted to create a password for your credential wallet. Setting this password will ensure that you always have access to all features of your credentials.
What are the Digital Badge Policies?

Do I Need to Create an Account for My Credentials?
When IFSI issues a new credential, the Accredible system automatically creates a new Credential Wallet associated with it. Each credential is stored in a "Credential Wallet."
It's important to note that the email address used by IFSI to publish your credential will be the same one used by Accredible to set up your Credential Wallet, ensuring the credential is linked to you.
For further help, refer to the "Do I Need to Create an Account for My Credentials?" guide.
How do I Sign into My Credential/Wallet?
