In addition to receiving a course completion certificate upon passing all the final exam quizzes on the course and completing the feedback survey, you can also collect digital badges when participating in the course. A full list of badges available on this course are shown at the bottom of this page.

A digital badge is much more than just a pretty picture. It is a guarantee that a recognised authority, in this case IASeminars, set published criteria, and that there is authenticated evidence that the badge holder met those criteria. Each of these badges are linked to a public page which displays a brief description and the criteria for obtaining the badge.

Any badges you earn will be automatically displayed on your profile page. However, you do have the option to hide any one of them, should you wish to do so. You can do this by clicking on your name at top-right hand corner of the page, selecting Preferences (Illustration 1) and then clicking on the Manage Badges link (Illustration 2). You can toggle visibility of any badge by clicking on the eye icon underneath badge’s image (Illustration 3).

Once you have been awarded badges you will probably want to tell others about your achievements as part of your CV to get another job or maybe just to show off to your friends through social media. You can do this by sharing a direct link to each of your badge’s information page (click on the badge’s title to open its information page) or use the download button (only visible to you) to save the badge to your device.
