Digital Badges
ONCC is committed to providing you with tools to help you achieve your professional goals. We understand that communicating your credentials in an ever-expanding online marketplace can be challenging. That is why we have partnered with Credly’s Acclaim platform to provide you with a digital version of your credentials. Digital badges can be used in email signatures, digital resumes, and on social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. This digital image contains verified metadata that describes your qualifications and the process required to earn them.
Claim Your Digital Badge
Follow these steps to claim your digital badge:
Accept it. Once you pass an ONCC test, you will receive an email with instructions for claiming your digital badge.
