Digital credentials: Integrations with Accredible and Credly

Education today is more than learning—it’s about recognition. Learners want proof of their skills that they can share and showcase. That’s why we’re excited to bring a brand-new way of issuing certificates to your learners.

We’re thrilled to announce LearnWorlds’ integration with Accredible and Credly, two of the leading platforms for digital credentials. With these powerful partnerships, we’re enabling you to seamlessly issue verifiable, shareable certificates and badges that enhance learner engagement and establish trust in credentials.

In this post, we’ll explore why digital credentials matter, how the integrations work, and the benefits they bring to educators, businesses, and learners. Let’s dive in.

The rise of digital credentials

Digital credentials are certificates taken to another level—they’re a powerful way for your learners to showcase their skills, build credibility, and stand out to employers.

These secure, shareable badges let achievements shine on LinkedIn and beyond, helping you boost engagement, enhance trust, and add even more value to your courses.

Traditional certificates work well, but verifiable, shareable credentials work better

LearnWorlds enables educators to create and issue certificates of completion directly within the platform. This involves designing certificates using built-in templates and setting specific criteria for issuance, such as course completion or passing exams. Until now, these certificates were primarily static PDFs, offering limited interactivity and shareability.

Taking it a step further, you can now choose one of our integration partners as a certificate provider:

✅ Easy to share: Learners can share their credentials on LinkedIn and other platforms in just a click, boosting visibility and engagement of their skills.
✅ Instantly verifiable: Built-in links let employers and peers verify credentials instantly, building trust and credibility of their skills and achievements.
✅ Tamper-proof security: Backed by blockchain, these credentials are secure, verifiable, and authenticated as being legitimately issued by your organization, ensuring they cannot be fraudulently replicated or altered.
✅ Rich metadata inclusion: Digital credentials can include detailed metadata such as program details, gained skills, earning criteria, and evidence. Adding as much relevant metadata as possible boosts employer trust and helps learners effectively communicate their qualifications.

This upgrade transforms certificates into powerful tools for motivation, recognition, and visibility, giving your courses a competitive edge and ensuring your learners gain tangible value they can use to advance their careers.

Making credentials work for you: real benefits, real results

Digital credentials aren’t just a win for your learners—they’re a game-changer for your business too, no matter your industry. Here’s why our new integrations are worth exploring.

Customer and partner training: drive course completion and promote your brand

With digital credentials, you’ve got a built-in marketing tool that boosts engagement, builds trust, and puts your brand in the spotlight as an industry leader. Here’s how digital credentials change the game for customer training:

• Organic brand promotion: Every time a customer shares their digital credential, your brand gets a measurable boost. These shareable achievements become organic advertisements for your products and certifications, creating a ripple effect that amplifies your reach across social networks.
• Establish your product as the industry standard: Digital credentials don’t just showcase skills—they certify users as experts in your product. By enabling learners to share badges and certificates that validate their expertise, you position your product as essential in their industry. These credentials make your solution the go-to choice, building trust and recognition where it matters most.
• Consistency in brand standards: Certifications ensure that partners uphold your brand’s standards, helping deliver consistent quality across your network.
• Enhanced fraud prevention: Authenticity matters. With secure, verifiable credentials, you eliminate the risks of fraudulent claims, ensuring that every shared achievement reflects real, earned success.

Employee training: build skills, boost morale, and drive performance

When it comes to employee training, digital credentials don’t just validate skills—they inspire growth and engagement. Here’s how they take your L&D programs to the next level:

• Clear, skills-based development: Forget the guesswork. With digital credentials, managers get a clear snapshot of verified skills, making it easy to build personalized development plans that close skill gaps and help your team thrive.
• Motivation through recognition: Everyone loves to feel appreciated. By awarding badges and certificates for achievements, you’re not just recognizing hard work—you’re fostering a culture of continuous learning that keeps employees motivated.
• Improved retention and performance: Recognizing employee progress directly boosts their sense of accomplishment, driving higher performance. Engaged and motivated employees are more likely to stay, reducing turnover and delivering stronger results for your business.

Selling courses and certifications: boost loyalty, engagement, and career success

If you’re selling courses or certifications, digital credentials aren’t just a nice-to-have—they’re a total game-changer. They do more than validate learning—they help you build loyalty, keep learners hooked, and set them up for real-world success. Here’s how:

• Strengthen brand loyalty and reputation: Every time a learner shares their badge or certificate, it’s a shoutout to your brand’s high standards. It shows the world what you’re all about, keeps learners loyal, and draws in new people who want that same recognition.
• Increased member engagement: Celebrating wins keeps learners fired up. By handing out badges or certificates as they progress, you’re motivating them to stick with your courses, finish strong, and come back for more.
• Faster career advancement for learners: Why wait until the end of a course to show off new skills? Micro-credentials and badges let learners showcase what they’ve learned as they go, giving them a leg up in landing jobs or promotions while still in the program.

Your learners win, your business wins

Digital credentials turn learner achievements into sharable proof of expertise that builds trust, boosts engagement, and puts your brand or product in the spotlight.
Whether you’re helping employees grow, empowering customers with new skills, or equipping students for the future, these integrations offer a simple yet powerful way to add value to every learning experience.
