• Print at any time – Easily print a high-quality PDF of your certificate, whenever you’d like. 
• Learning verified – Your achievements can be verified at any time. Your certifications on LinkedIn can be linked to your live credential so employers can verify what you have achieved.

How to find and retrieve your credentials 

Once you have been issued a badge from us, you will receive an email notification from [email protected]. Please allow for 2-3 business days after you complete your certification exam for your credential notice to be delivered. The notification email will be delivered to the email address you supplied and will give you a link to your badge and certificate.

Once you have completed your certification on the learning platform, you’ll be able to click through to view your badges on Accredible. You can retrieve your credentials, and analyze salary ranges specific to their certification’s skills, including which companies are interested in hiring the skills that your certification provides.

How to make the most of your digital credential

Your digital badge should give you recognition for your newly-earned professional designation. With our secure digital badges, your new skills and knowledge can be verified and shared with employers, colleagues, and recruiters. To get the most out of your digital badge, you can:
