Digital badges
We have partnered with Accredible to launch a new range of digital badges for our short courses. Digital badges are a great way to celebrate your achievements and stand out from the crowd.
You can now earn yourself a digital badge on successful completion* of one of our short courses. So whether it's obtaining the skills needed to create a promotional video using Adobe Premiere Pro or the ability to use Microsoft Excel successfully in the Workplace.
Our short courses play a unique role in helping to upskill or reskill to be more competitive in the job market. Sharing your digital badge on employability websites such as LinkedIn or on your CV can go a long way in showcasing your range of learning achievements to potential employers.
*Once you have demonstrated capability according to specific criteria established for the badge, you will automatically, become eligible to claim a badge for that course.
You will also attain a digital badge from Adobe or Microsoft when successfully completing the exams on our ACP & MOS Certification Courses.
