Add Credly acclaimed badges or micro-credentials for learners to achieve upon completion of a program.
WHY?
Academy has its own badge functionality and also integrates with Credly Acclaim to award badges on completion of a program.
Credly’s digital badging platform enables you to design and issue badges, includes enterprise-class functionality to scale and manage programs, and enhanced analytics to measure success.

When creating a new badge in Academy, you have the option to link it to a Credly Acclaim badge. If you link an Academy badge to a Credly Acclaim badge, then both badges will be awarded to the learner on completion of a program.
