The CREDA Center for Education awards digital badges through BadgeCert after learners successfully complete a CREDA Certificate Program or Course.

• Course-level digital badges are awarded for successfully completing a course after you take the exam and pass with a score of 80% or better.
• Processing may take up to one week.  

To add your badge to your LinkedIn profile page, follow these instructions: 

1. Log into LinkedIn and click the “Me” icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.
