Add 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.

If you don't have a Credly Acclaim account, use Academy's native badge feature to award badges on completion of a program.
