We have partnered with Credly to create digital badges to represent each level of practitioner registration. This is issued and managed through the company digital badging platform. The technology Credly uses is based on the Open Badge Standards maintained by IMS Global. This enables you to manage, share and verify your competencies digitally.

All FEDIP registered practitioners are eligible for a digital badge representing their FEDIP credentials. If you are a member of BCS, AphA or CILIP, your professional body will confirm your successful application to us. Once your professional body has confirmed your successful FEDIP application you will receive an email notification from Credly (admin@credly.com) with instructions for claiming your badge and setting up your account. Members of IHRIM should contact us directly to provide their emails details for us to send your badge to.

Step One: Accept your digital credential. You'll receive an email from Credly notifying you of your new digital credential. The email will come from admin@credly.com, so be sure to add it to your email contacts list to avoid sending your notification to a spam folder. Click the accept your badge button. If you already have an account on Credly's Acclaim Platform, sign in to your account to claim your credential If this is your first digital credential through Credly's Acclaim Platform, you'll be guided through the necessary steps to create an account. Enter your first name, last name, your country and postal code, and a password. Review the terms of use, then check the box indicating your acceptance of them. After clicking the create my account button, you will be sent a confirmation email. Access the email and follow the instructions to finish creating your account. Claim your digital credential. Once you've accepted your digital credential, you'll then need to claim it. Decide whether you'd like any credentials that you earn in the future that are issued by an organization to be accepted automatically or manually. Auto- accepting is the easiest way to manage future digital credentials that you've earned. Then decide whether you want your badge to be publicly visible or private, visible only to you. Mark the badge public so you can share it with others.

Open badges are web-enabled versions of a credential, certification or learning outcome which can be verified in real-time, online.

Credly is the end-to-end solution for issuing and managing digital credentials. Credly works with credible organizations to provide digital credentials to individuals, worldwide.

If you do not wish to have a digital badge you can simply ignore the invitation to create one for yourself. Also, you can easily configure your privacy settings in Credly if you accept the badge but choose to make it private at a later date. You’re in complete control of the information about yourself that is made public.

While badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted on Credly. This link to verified data makes them more reliable and secure than a paper-based certificate. It also eliminates the possibility of anyone claiming your credential and your associated identity.

You can share your badge directly from Credly to LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook; over email; embedded in a website or in your email signature.
