Credly Badge FAQ
Coro offers digital badges in partnership with Credly by Pearson™ as a way for alumni to easily showcase their program achievements online. These verified digital badges complement the program certificate you receive at your closing ceremony, making it simple to share your Coro experience on LinkedIn and other digital platforms. The badges highlight your professional and leadership skills, allowing you to display your accomplishments with colleagues, employers, and your network in real time.
What are the benefits of a digital badge?
Your badge offers a trusted, verifiable way to digitally display your skills and achievements, shareable with peers, current, and prospective employers. Credly also provides labor market insights and a job-search function within its platform. Learn more.
When and how will I receive my badge?
Within two weeks of completing your Coro program, you’ll receive a pre-badge notification from Coro followed by an email from Credly (admin@credly.com) with instructions to claim your badge. Both emails will go to the address you used during onboarding—please update us if it has changed. Learn more.
