Overview
This article explains how to complete a Certification Credential (for example, TOGAF Agile Specialist) and how to receive your certificate and Open Badge through Credly.
Certification Credentials differ from full TOGAF certifications because they are issued directly through Credly as digitally verifiable credentials.
Why Is Completing a Certification Credential Different?
Certification Credentials—such as the TOGAF Framework: Environmentally Sustainable Information Systems Specialist—are issued by Credly, The Open Group’s digital badging partner.
- They are digitally verifiable
- They are delivered as an Open Badge
- The certificate is accessed through your Credly account, not the TOGAF certification portal
For general information on Open Badges, see the Open Badges FAQs.
How Do I Complete My Credential and Receive My Certificate?
After your exam result is received by The Open Group:
- If you have not yet opted in to The Open Group Badges Program, you will receive an invitation to opt in.
- Once you opt in, your Open Badge will be issued through Credly.
- You must create a Credly account (if you do not already have one) to receive and manage your badge.
- Your certificate PDF will be available for download directly from your Credly badge page.
How Do I Download My Certificate?
To download and print your certificate:
- Log in to your Credly account.
- Select the badge associated with your credential.
- Click Share.
- Select the print icon to download your certificate as a PDF.
This provides you with an official, printable certificate.

- Visit https://www.credly.com
