Digital Certificates: The New Standard for Certifying Bodies

Digital badges and micro-certificates offer a modern method for recognizing achievements. These badges are frequently used to acknowledge a range of abilities and engagements, from soft skills to specific expertise, participation in programs, and overall engagement. Available in diverse designs, shapes, and colors, they visually represent various levels of achievement.
Digital badges are becoming increasingly prominent in competency development fields. Employers recognize and value these industry- specific micro- credentials, with studies indicating that candidates with such endorsements are 72 % more likely to be hired(source). Therefore, acquiring these badges significantly enhances a resume and a LinkedIn profile, making them essential tools for career progression.
Awarding bodies and other issuers use digital badges to motivate learners and celebrate their accomplishments. Leveraging the international « Open Badges » standard, these badges will help ensure interoperability and usability across multiple systems.

Awarding bodies issue official qualifications recognized by employers and play a key role in education and training. Whether in information security, finance, construction, or safety, these certificates often have international reach and are essential for certain roles.
Digital versions of these certifications must ensure top-level security, verifiability, and customization tailored to each qualification. BCdiploma’s certificates are designed to meet these needs with full customization and instant secure verification. That’s why prestigious clients like ETS Global (TOEIC) and AFNOR trust us.
BCdiploma helps create multilingual certificates with custom web designs and manages large-scale projects. Beyond streamlining processes through automated workflows via API, digital certificates boost marketing visibility by enabling easy sharing on social media. These benefits make switching from paper to digital credentials a smart choice.

Many training or certification cycles are part of a coherent pathway of successive courses or programs, followed one after the other to provide a complete certification. This concept is brought to life through the « Learning Pathway », an exclusive BCdiploma feature, also known as the « Enriched Certificate » or « Meta-Certification ». It allows for the consolidation of all achievements, micro-credentials, or intermediate results of a candidate into a unified view. These pathways include all earned digital badges and micro-certifications, thus reflecting the entirety of completed milestones and acquired skills in a single enriched certificate. It’s perfectly suited for a structured series of tests or short courses through which learners advance step by step toward full certification!
The « Learning Pathways » present the complete set of micro-certifications associated with a completed certificate. For learners, it serves as a source of motivation and encouragement for continuous progress. This feature benefits both awarding and testing bodies as well as certified individuals by providing a concise summary of achievements, skills, and expertise, which is highly valued and appreciated by employers.
