Using Your Credly Digital Credentials

Harvey Academy issues certification badges through Credly by Pearson, the platform behind many of the world's most recognized product certification programs.

A Credly badge is verified rather than self-reported, so anyone you share it with can confirm it's real. Each badge carries the issuer, the date you earned it, the skills it represents, and the criteria you met.

Credly accounts are free, and your badge is yours to keep.

From your Credly profile, you can:
