Overview
Open Badges are issued to recognize your achievements in The Open Group certification programs. This article explains how to receive and claim your badge once you have earned an eligible certification.
How the Badge Issuing Process Works
1. Invitation to Opt In
After you achieve a certification, The Open Group will send you an email inviting you to opt in to the Open Badges program.
- This email is sent to the contact address associated with your certification profile.
- You must complete the opt‑in process before any badges can be issued.
2. Badge Issuance via Pearson Credly
Once you opt in:
- Your badge will be issued through The Open Group’s badging partner, Pearson Credly.
- You will receive an email from Credly with instructions on how to:
- Create or access your Credly account
- Accept your badge
- Share your badge on social platforms or professional profiles
