Digital badges
Recognise achievement with a modern, credible approach
Empower learners and employees with digital badges, a smarter way to showcase skills and capabilities.
With your NCFE Endorsed Programme, you can transform how individuals are recognised by issuing secure, verifiable digital badges.
Showcase your commitment to talent development by encouraging employees to share their achievements. For learners, digital badges support career progression and provide credible evidence of skills to employers.
How do digital badges work?
Digital badges provide proof of learning for individuals completing your NCFE Endorsed Programmes. Unlike traditional certifications, these assets are embedded with rich metadata that is linked to your specific programme.
Our service is powered by Accredible, the world's largest network of digital credentials, with over 170 million issued worldwide.
Benefits of digital badges
Flexible and personalised
Digital badges can be loaded with any metadata to recognise any achievement within your Endorsed Programme.
Secure and tamper-proof
Digital badges contain encrypted data stored on secure servers that cannot be copied or tampered with.
Instantly verifiable
Every badge is uniquely linked to the recipient and issuing organisation, allowing real-time verification and preserving the integrity of the award.
Easily shareable across platforms
Recipients can share their badges across the web and social media, supporting continuous learning and professional visibility.
Full control for issuers
Using the Accredible platform, organisations have full control over the issuing and management of their digital badges. Issuers can choose to set expiration dates for time-bound or refreshable skills.
Branded recognition
The badges for each programme you offer will feature your organisation’s brand logo.
As recipients share their achievements online, your organisation benefits from increased brand awareness and a clear demonstration of how you are embracing the future of skills validation.
