What is a digital badge?

A digital badge is an eye-catching, visual indicator of achievement – awarded free of charge when you earn a professional designation – that you can add to your online presence and marketing materials.

We award digital badges for several designations and professional achievements, including:

• Certified Professional in Financial Advice
• Certified Mortgage Adviser
• Chartered Associate
• Chartered Fellow
• Qualified Trade Finance Specialist
• Certified Fintech Practitioner
• CeMAP Professional
• CeMAP Advanced Professional.

You can see full list of LIBF digital badges on the Credly website.

What your digital badge will look like 

How a digital badge can help you

Because a digital badge is so visual, it stands out much more than the letters after your name.

It tells the world of your professional achievement and demonstrates your commitment to ongoing professional development. If someone wants to check your professional standing, they can click on your digital badge to view the skills, knowledge and ethos that your designations demonstrate.

Digital badges also allow customers to quickly and easily find out:

• what a finance professional's designations really mean, and
• whether their designations are up to date.

This instils confidence in customers and enables you to stand out among your peers.

What happens when you’re awarded a digital badge

You’ll receive an email from Credly – a Pearson company and leader in digital credentials who administer our digital badges. This email will include the information you need and a link to the Credly webpage where you can claim your badge and set up your account.

Most badge holders find setting up their digital badge easy, but if you need assistance you’ll find plenty of help on the Credly website.
