Questions about sharing your badge
Why is my newest CertiProf badge not on Credly?
CertiProf now issues its digital badges through BadgeClaimed, so new badges arrive by email from BadgeClaimed, not from Credly. Share them on LinkedIn from BadgeClaimed. If you also want them in your Credly profile, you can add your BadgeClaimed badge to Credly.
Can I have badges from Credly and BadgeClaimed on the same LinkedIn profile?
Yes. Each badge is a separate entry in Licenses & Certifications. Badges issued earlier through Credly and new badges issued through BadgeClaimed can sit side by side, and each one links to its own verification page.
The issuing organization is empty in LinkedIn. What should I do?
Type CertiProf in the Issuing organization field before you save. Credly notes that this field is sometimes not filled in automatically and that the Credential ID field is optional.
How can an employer check my badge from LinkedIn?
Each badge entry links to the badge's public verification page, which shows who issued it and whether it is still valid. Any CertiProf certification can also be checked at verify.certiprof.com.
I can't find the email with my badge. What should I do?
New badges come from BadgeClaimed; earlier ones came from Credly. Search your inbox, spam and promotions folders for both names, using the email you used for the exam. If you still can't find it, contact CertiProf support with your full name, that email address and the certification name.
