Open Badge

What is the Open Badge?

Open Badges are digital certificates of soft skills and acquired skills. They are guaranteed by the issuing body and internationally recognised. The Open Badge consists of a graphic part (image) and some specifications (metadata) which indicate the skill acquired or the ability or goal achieved. They also indicate the method used to check it, who issued it and the identity of the recipient.
