What is Credly?

Credly is a platform that gives issuers the ability to deliver and manage customized, vetted digital badges that are shareable, stackable, and portable. Learners who earn these badges can claim them through Credly and showcase them across various platforms and networks, such as social media, resumes, and professional profiles.

Benefits of UA's Credly Platform

Badges are shareable: Digital badges are embedded with metadata that verifies your skills and achievements. They are branded with UA’s official colors and logos, making them ideal for sharing with colleagues and potential employers. Badges are easily shareable on platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook. To learn more about sharing badges, please visit Credly's help page: Sharing badges on social media (opens in new tab).

Badges are stackable: Credly badges are stackable, meaning they can be combined into a pathway or curated sequence of badges that guide learners through progressive skill development or learning objectives. This approach supports both academic and professional growth by making it easy to track and showcase cumulative achievements. More information about sharing badges is available on Credly's help page: Sharing badges on social media (opens in new tab).

Badges are portable: Credly badges follow the industry’s standard for open badges and provide a centralized, lifelong profile where users can store and showcase all of their digital badges earned across multiple issuers. This profile remains accessible even after graduation or leaving UA, allowing continued management and sharing of credentials throughout your career. To ensure uninterrupted access, we strongly recommend adding a personal email address to your Credly account: Can I add multiple emails to my Account (opens in new tab).
