What are badges and how do I earn them?
What are Credly badges?
A Credly badge is a credential that shows your learning progress. You can share a badge with employers or schools to show that you’ve earned this credential from Essential Education.
How do I accept a Credly badge?
- When you pass a quiz or final assessment in Work Essentials, you’ll earn a badge to show your mastery!
- When a badge appears in your HomeRoom, click the Claim button to get your badge.
- Create a Credly account to access and share your badges.
- When you log in, click “Accept Badge.”
How do I share a badge with an employer or teacher?
After you’ve accepted your badge, you’ll usually see a screen to share it. To share an existing badge later, you can:
- Click on the badge on your Credly dashboard.
- Then, click on the “Share” button.
One of the best ways to share a badge with employers or teachers is by email.
- On the share screen, click the “Email” icon. You’ll see an email form to share your badge.
- Enter the email address to send your badge under “Recipients” at the top. Add a message in the “Custom Message” box. Then, click “Send.”
- Your employer or teacher will receive your badge in their email!
