Showcase Your Knowledge and Skills with Digital Badging
Communicating your investment in continuous learning can be challenging. This is why we have established a program to help you quickly and easily share verification of your achievement whenever and wherever you choose.
We partnered with Acclaim to provide you with a digital version of your MMI Certificates. Backed by Pearson, the world’s leading learning company, Acclaim is a badging platform that provides a fast and easy way to let your professional network know about your achievements.
What is a Digital Badge?
Below are examples of MMI’s digital badges. These badges can be easily added to your social media profiles, website, or email signature. There is personalized metadata associated with each badge that explains the badge’s requirements and acknowledges your achievement.
A badge contains:
- verifiable digital credentials,
- a digital emblem globally recognized to symbolize skills and accomplishments, and
- detailed content describing how the earner achieved the badge.
