What is a digital badge?

A digital badge is a web-enabled version of a PMI certification, or learning outcome, which can be verified online in real time. Since it is digital, it can be shared across the internet for maximum visibility and recognition.

Why is PMI offering digital badges?

We know many people proudly list their certification(s) on their social profiles, email signatures, and other platforms, so we are providing digital badges to help you display a visual depiction of your accomplishments. In addition, a digital badge conveys other critical information, such as what it takes to earn the certification(s), key skills you’ve demonstrated, and when you earned the certification(s).
