The technology used on the Platform is based on the Open Badge Standards maintained by IMS Global. This enables you to manage, share and verify your competencies digitally.
Credly is the end-to-end solution for issuing and managing digital credentials. Credly works with credible organisations to provide digital credentials to individuals, worldwide through the platform.
The Credly platform is where the individual's Digital Badges are issued, stored and accessed by learners. When issued with a badge individuals are invited to create an account from which they can view, share and store all of their Digital Badges.
