Denver, CO — Upskilling and certifications are important ways for professionals to learn new skills or stay up-to-date in areas where the details are crucial, such as for compliance purposes. However, traditional certificates, and even some electronic certifications, are often hard to display in an online world. To meet this growing need, Academic Impressions has partnered with Accredible to bring digital badging to its certification courses.

Those who now take part in certain virtual certification courses from Academic Impressions will now receive a digital badge noting their achievement. This digital badge is not only an easy-to-display visual representation of completion of a course, but also contains details on when and where this certification was completed, how long it is valid, and information about the badge issuer. Unlike traditional certificates, these digital badges can be easily displayed on resumes, LinkedIn, and in email signatures.

"Our members have an incredible passion for continuous learning and ongoing professional development, and digital badges offer a simple way to celebrate and communicate those achievements out to the rest of the world," says Greta Bell, Project Manager with Academic Impressions. "I'm so excited that we're able to offer this!"

To start, the Academic Impressions courses that currently offer digital badges include:

• Customer Service Skills Training: Certification for Higher Education Professionals
• Inclusive Leadership Certificate Program: Build Your Skills and Self-Awareness
• Self-Awareness as Your Superpower: A Certificate Program for Department Chairs
• Supervision Certificate Program
• Foundations of Title IX Investigations: Certification Training
