CREST digital badges

Showcase your skills and accreditations!

Throughout 2024 we’ve been dedicated to enhancing and updating our exams to take our certifications global and improve the experience for our candidates.

To take our exams to the next level, we’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with Credly to provide you with a digital badge that proudly displays your professional qualifications and achievements.

Digital badges are great for:

• Motivation and engagement: digital badges are great milestones in your learning journey, encouraging you to push forward and achieve more.
• Career advancement: in a competitive job market, standing out is crucial. Digital badges are a clear and concise way to demonstrate your qualifications and skills, and a great talking point in interviews.
