Digital Badges

Badges are virtual emblems you can proudly display in digital resumes, social media platforms such as LinkedIn and Facebook, or other online tools. They also are a quick link that allows employers and colleagues to easily verify your credentials.

• The AMT digital certification badge helps you share your achievement with colleagues, employers, and friends through online channels of your choice.
• Unlike your paper certificate, the digital badge doesn’t display your AMT member number, which should be kept confidential.
• By sharing your digital badge, those who click on it can verify the authenticity of your certification and learn more about the skills you’ve mastered at the same time.
• The skills associated with your certification badge are linked to opportunities in the workforce.
• Digital badging is a trusted method for real-time credential verification.
• There’s no added fee for this service.

AMT is the organization issuing your certification and has partnered with Credly to implement the electronic badge that represents your certification credential. AMT maintains and monitors the verified information of each individual’s certification.

Your badge must be accepted and “claimed” before it can be shared. See below for steps to claim your badge:

1. Once you have completed the requirements for certification*, you will receive an email from Credly, AMT’s digital badging provider, with a link to accept your badge.
2. If this is your first digital badge on Credly.com, you’ll be prompted to create an account by entering your first and last name, your country and postal code.
   Please note: this is a separate account from your AMT account and badges will need to be accessed directly through the Credly website.
3. After you’ve claimed your badge click the “Share” link to provide your digital credential on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, email, and more.

Check out Credly’s blog for additional details, including an instructional video on How to Manage & Share Your Digital Credentials.

For technical assistance regarding your badge or login issues on the Credly.com website, please visit the Credly Help Center or submit a request to their online support team. If you still need additional assistance, please email AMT at mail@americanmedtech.org.

While badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted by Credly. This link to verified data makes a badge more reliable and secure than a paper-based certificate. It also eliminates the possibility of anyone claiming your credential and your associated identity.
