Digital Badge Program by Credly

A: We have partnered with Credly to translate the learning outcomes you've demonstrated into a badge, issued and managed through the company's platform. The technology Credly uses on its platform is based on the Open Badge Standards maintained by IMS Global. This enables you to manage, share, and verify your competencies digitally. 

A: MBA currently offers badges for MAA members and those enrolled in:

• Certified Mortgage Banker (CMB) Designation
• Certified Residential Underwriter Certificate and Designation (CRU)
• Certified Mortgage Compliance Professional Certificate and Designation (CMCP)
• Commercial Certified Mortgage Servicer Certificate and Designation (CCMS)
• Accredited Mortgage Professional (AMP)  
  
  As the program evolves, we plan to add more badges from our MBA Education's Certification and Designation program, as well as other MBA programs.

A: Representing your skills with a badge allows you to share your abilities online in a way that is simple, trusted, and can be easily verified. Badges provide employers and peers concrete evidence of what you had to do to earn your credential and what you're now capable of. Credly's platform also offers labor market insights based on your skills. You can search and apply for job opportunities using the platform.

A: While badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted on Credly's platform. This link to verified data makes them more reliable and secure than a paper-based certificate. It also eliminates the possibility of anyone claiming your credential and your associated identity. 

A: Labor market insights are pulled from live job requisitions. Based on your skills you can learn which employers are hiring, what job titles you might be qualified for, salary ranges, and more. Search active job listings and apply for them with just a few clicks through the platform. Access the labor market insights from your badge details page by clicking on Related Jobs, or by clicking on the skill tags assigned to your badge. 

A: Yes, you can download your badge from the Share Badge page. Your downloaded badge contains Open Badge Infrastructure (OBI) compliant metadata embedded into the image. This allows you to store your badge on other OBI-compliant badge sites, such as the Mozilla backpack.
