The Genetec Channel Partner program has partnered with Credly to award verified digital badges to channel partners who complete Genetec certification courses. Badges provide an easy way to share and validate your skills, experience, and technical knowledge.
Digital badges are the best tool to highlight your Genetec certifications and achievements on your website, social media, profiles and more. Think of the badges as a bonus for your hard work—there's no extra cost involved.
Genetec has included digital badges in their training programs as an additional way for certified partners to share and validate your achievements. These digital credentials can be used in your website, email signatures, and on social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. It provides a secure and verifiable way to share your professional skills and abilities. A digital badge consists of an image and metadata that are uniquely linked to you and your achievements.

A digital badge is an online representation of an outcome or achievement. Digital badges refer specifically to badges that adhere to the Open Badge Specification led by the IMS Global Learning Consortium for recognizing and validating learning. They are secure, web-enabled credentials that contain granular, verified information employers can use to evaluate an individual's potential.
Accepting, storing, managing and sharing Genetec digital badges is free for Genetec digital badge holders.
We have partnered with Credly to translate the learning outcomes you’ve demonstrated into a badge, issued and managed through the company’s Credly Platform. This allows the badge holder (you) to accept, manage and share your digital badge and the credentials it represents as a digital asset.
Credly is an end-to-end solution provider for issuing and managing digital credentials. Credly works with credible organizations to provide digital credentials to individuals, worldwide.
Genetec has developed a vendor relationship with Credly to implement a program for web-enabled credentials displayed as digital badges. From Credly's website you can claim (accept), store and transmit open badges related to your credentials and where those to whom you send your credentials verify the metadata contained within them.
Genetec enables blockchain validation for any digital credentials you earn. Once enabled, the digital credential will be published to the blockchain upon your acceptance. The credential can then be verified in real time by third parties on the blockchain.
