Digital Badges

After completing certain courses, Micro-Certs, or designations, you’ll earn a digital badge that you can share with employers and peers. In August 2026, we moved our digital badge platform from Credly to Accredible to provide an improved badge experience — the achievement your badge represents hasn’t changed, only where it’s hosted and how it looks.

What is a digital badge?

A digital badge is a verified, shareable credential that gives employers and peers concrete evidence of your achievement. Each badge includes a verification link so anyone can confirm it’s authentic.

Which programs earn a badge?

You can currently earn a digital badge after completing CPCU 550, a Micro-Cert, or the AAI, AAI-M, ACSR, or PRC designations.

How to claim your badge

1. After completing your course, Micro-Cert, or designation, check your inbox for an email from Badging@TheInstitutes.org.
2. Click the link in the email to accept your badge on Accredible.
3. If you’ve earned multiple badges, you’ll receive a separate email for each one — each is managed and claimed individually.
4. If you don’t see the email, check your spam folder. Allow 1–2 business days after completion.

Sharing your badge

Once you’ve accepted your badge, you can:

• Share it directly to LinkedIn or other social platforms
• Download the badge image
• Copy a verification link to add to your resume, email signature, or personal website

Accepting or moving your badge to Accredible won’t update your LinkedIn profile, resume, or email signature automatically — you’ll need to swap in the new badge link yourself if you want to display the updated version.

Privacy

You control what information is public through your badge platform’s privacy settings.
