Partnering with organizations like PTCB, Credly issues and manages digital badges for individuals. Every badge contains verifiable data that tells the world what you did or learned, who says you did or learned it, and why it matters. Badges can be shared on social media, embedded into an email signature, resume or website, or linked to for full visibility of one's professional story.

Certificate vs. Digital Badge:
The certificate you download and/or print from your PTCB Account (for CPhT, CSPT, and CPhT-Adv Certifications) or Credly Account (for Assessment-Based Certificates) confirms that you’ve earned your credential. You can also verify your credential status on the PTCB website. The digital badge verifies this same information, and can more easily be used to share your accomplishment.
