Academy has its own badge functionality and also integrates with Credly Acclaim to award badges upon program completion.
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.
