CertiProf digital badge program: from Credly to BadgeClaimed
The CertiProf digital badge program gives every certified professional a verifiable digital badge for their certification. CertiProf first issued these badges through Credly and now issues them through BadgeClaimed. Both platforms follow the Open Badges standard, so your badge can be verified, shared and taken with you.

Badge program questions
What is an open badge?
An open badge is a digital version of a credential that carries verifiable information: who issued it, what it certifies and when. Because it follows the Open Badges standard by 1EdTech, it can be checked online and used across compatible platforms.
How does my CertiProf certification become a badge?
When you pass a CertiProf exam, your certification is issued as a digital badge through BadgeClaimed. You get an email with a link to claim it and add it to your personal portfolio.
Where are the CertiProf badges I received earlier through Credly?
Badges issued earlier through Credly are hosted and controlled by Credly, not by CertiProf. They stay in your Credly account, and questions about access to them go to Credly's help center.
Can I add my BadgeClaimed badge to Credly?
Yes. Credly accepts badges from other platforms that meet the Open Badges 2.0 or 3.0 standard, and CertiProf badges on BadgeClaimed use Open Badges 3.0. See how to add your BadgeClaimed badge to Credly.
Can I download my badge or keep it in a digital wallet?
Yes. From BadgeClaimed you can download your badge as a verifiable file or export it to a compatible digital wallet.
What stops someone from copying my badge?
Each badge is digitally signed by the issuer and has a public verification page. Anyone who opens it can confirm who issued the badge, to whom and whether it is still valid, so a copied image proves nothing.
Where can I get help with my badge?
For CertiProf badges issued through BadgeClaimed, contact CertiProf support. For badges issued earlier through Credly, use Credly's help center. Any CertiProf certification can be checked at verify.certiprof.com.
