Digital Badging

What is digital badging?

A digital badge (or digital credential) is a virtual, graphical representation of the competencies of yourself (as a professional individual) or as an organization. This is combined with a verifiable description of the knowledge and activities it took for you/your organization to earn a digital badge.

Exemplar Global partnered with Credly for our digital badging program. Based on the Open Badges Standard, Credly’s digital badges can be shared and verified online in a way that is easy and secure. Credly badges also link to metadata that provides context and verification. They can be shared online for maximum visibility and recognition.

Click here for further information about our digital badging program.

What are the benefits of a digital badge?

In essence, a digital badge allows you to share your credentials with your networks in a simple and trusted way to communicate your skills and achievements. Our digital badges can also be verified by third parties to provide extra assurance that you/your organization can deliver at the highest level. This will help you boost your career and business profile, while also building trust in and recognition of your skills and career/business achievements.

The beauty of a digital badge is that it is instant and shareable. By taking credit for your abilities and sharing your digital badge, you increase your chances of being noticed by your network and potential employers. The credibility of the Exemplar Global brand is also captured in our badges, in full view for your network to see.

What kind of digital badges are available through Exemplar LINK?

We now have more than 140 digital badges available to our customers through Exemplar LINK across four categories. These include:

  • Experience: events, volunteering, project participation
  • Learning: self-led learning, soft skills, professionalism, competencies, product knowledge
  • Validation: learning and assessments, portfolio/evidence, peer review, certificate programs
  • Certification: credentials, industry certifications/licences.

Does Exemplar Global offer digital badges to organizations?

We are committed to providing all of our customers with the tools necessary to achieve their goals, including our training provider partners.

To fulfil this, we have extended our badging program to our certified training providers by offering organizational digital badges. These provide verified evidence of the competencies of our training provider organizations. By doing this, they will also build trust in and recognition of their brand in a competitive global training marketplace.

Specifically, these comprise the Recognized Training Provider (RTP) and Training Provider and Examiner Certification Scheme (TPECS) badges.

How does my certification or credential get displayed as a badge?

We have partnered with Credly to translate your certifications and learning outcomes into a badge. The technology behind the badge is based on the Open Badge Standards maintained by IMS Global. This enables you to manage, share, and verify your competencies digitally.

Badges will be displayed in Exemplar LINK under ‘My Credentials’. You will also be able to know if an event, activity, or training is assigned a specific badge. Exemplar Global and iNARTE certifications will be recognized automatically with a badge that includes the relevant metadata to verify you have gained certification with us.

How do I share my digital badge?

To maximize the visibility of your badge, we encourage you to share it on your social media accounts (LinkedIn,
Facebook, Twitter), via email and by embedding it in your email signature or website.

When sharing your badge on social media, please ensure that you tag Exemplar Global in your posts so we can see them as well. To tag us in your posts, please insert the @ symbol before typing in ‘Exemplar Global’.

If you require any further assistance with this, please reach out to support@exemplarglobal.org.

Does my digital badge have to be displayed publicly?

No, you can easily configure your privacy settings to ensure you don’t display your digital badge publicly.

You’re in complete control of the information about yourself that is made public in Exemplar LINK and in the Credly platform.

What’s to keep someone else from copying my badge and using it?

While our digital badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted on the Credly platform. This link to verified data makes them more reliable and secure than using paper-based certificate. It also gives you the added protection of eliminating the risk of anyone claiming your credential and your associated identity.

Why does the expiry date on my certificate reflect only one year?

Exemplar Global offers two basic types of certification. These are a management systems certification, which are certifications based on an ISO standard (such as ISO 9001) and industry certification. Industry certification is based on specific requirements set by an organization outside Exemplar Global, such as the Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI) or a state or federal government (e.g. the Western Australia Heavy Vehicle Auditor scheme).

If you are certified to one of our management systems schemes (such as QMS, EMS, OHS, etc.), your certification is now continuous. This means it will not expire provided you continue to pay your fees, adhere to our code of conduct, and complete any required assessments such as the Work Style Assessment and any required transition assessments. However, even though it is a continuous certification, it will show an annual expiration date.

If you are certified to one of our industry schemes, your certification expiration date will vary by scheme and by the term of certification you have selected, such as one or four years.

What is the difference between an annual and recertification fee?

Your annual fee and recertification fee reflect your grade of certification and are the same price. Note that if you are certified under one of our management system schemes (those based on an ISO standard), such as QMS, EMS, OHS, etc., you will not be charged a recertification fee as certification is now continuous for these schemes. Instead of being charged a recertification fee, you will only be charged an annual fee.

 

My payment is being rejected through the customer portal in Exemplar LINK. What do I do?

Firstly, check the way you have entered your credit card details complies with our system’s process (which is numerical only).

When entering the expiration date of your credit card, ensure only numerals are entered. For example: enter 1220 for December 2020 and not 12/20.

Work Style Assessment

What is the Work Style Assessment?

Our industry-leading Work Style Assessment (WSA) is a sophisticated career and self-coaching development tool that provides an objective way for our customers (auditors) to discover their unique personality traits. They will also learn how these traits can be best applied when they are working on the job.

To form the basis of the WSA, a team of job experts, auditing professionals, and psychometricians completed a job analysis and profile for each auditor role. Job profiling enables employers to develop a profile and description of the ideal candidate’s characteristics and workstyle for a specific position. The results generated create a clear description of the traits and workstyles that will make a difference when working in an auditing role.

All Exemplar Global certified professionals are asked to complete the WSA as part of their application process and every three years thereafter. Non-Exemplar Global certified professionals can also complete the WSA as part of their professional development.

What benefits will I gain from completing the Work Style Assessment?

By completing the Work Style Assessment (WSA), you gain a deeper understanding of your skills, capability and performance as an auditor and how you can maximize these in a working environment.

The results generated from the WSA will give you insights about your individual strengths as an auditor; coaching and self-managing considerations that will be beneficial for your career and areas to consider for your professional development.

What is the process of completing the Work Style Assessment?

Completing our Work Style Assessment (WSA) is easy. It takes approximately 15 minutes from start to finish and there are no right or wrong answers, it’s all about giving auditors a better understanding about themselves and their preferred workstyles.

Getting the results is also easy. A PDF report is emailed to respondents within one hour of completing their WSA.

If you are interested in accessing our WSA, please contact support@exemplarglobal.org

For further information about the WSA see: https://exemplarglobal.org/work-style-assessment-auditors/
