Digital Badges

No. This member benefit is provided to active NESA members at no additional cost through our partnership with Credly.

While badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted on Credly. 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.
