In a world where your online presence matters as much as your resume, digital badges make your skills visible, verifiable and valuable. At VCU, we issue digital badges, verifiable digital credentials, through the Credly platform to recognize learners who complete structured, competency-based learning experiences.

These digital credentials represent verified evidence of the knowledge, skills, or competencies achieved through our micro-credential programs, noncredit courses, professional training, or credit-bearing experiences. Display them on LinkedIn, your resume or even your email signature to enhance your professional brand, access career insights, and turn your learning into real-world opportunities.
