Show off your TEFL/TESOL Credentials
With Digital Badges
What Are Digital Badges?
Digital badges (also known as open badges or digital credentials) allow you to showcase your achievements and receive recognition for them. In offering digital badges, iTTi School of English makes it possible to share your certification through social networks. This is not only an opportunity to show your network that you have successfully passed your EXIN ??? exam, but it also shows potential employers the new skills you have attained and their validity. Each iTTi School of English digital badge available on Acclaim is associated with an iTTi certification.
The badges contain details about the certification and the knowledge that you acquired in order to pass the exam. It tells your entire certification and training story. Because digital badges allow employers to easily see the full picture of your accomplishments, including verifiable skills and achievements, they are becoming the new standard in training and certification and the future of e-learning.
If you have already got certified with iTTi School of English, you may be entitled to a digital badge. To find out, email us.
WHY DIGITAL BADGES?

- Each badge you earn is stored on the Acclaim platform for ease of use.
- Digital badges can easily be verified easily by potential employers.
- Unlike traditional paper certificates, digital badges cannot get lost or misplaced.
Certification to the Next Level with Badging
Digital badges are the online equivalent of a certificate. You can share them directly on your feed on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook, or add them to the “Licenses & Certifications” section of your LinkedIn profile. You can also share your Acclaim profile, a place where all your badges are stored. All iTTi’s badges are connected to a candidate’s personal profile. Only if a candidate has attained an iTTi School of English certification, will they be able to claim the associated digital credential. The information on each badge includes details about the issuer(s), the validity terms, and details about the certification itself. All of this can then be traced to Acclaim as the issuer.
All information stored on Credly’s Acclaim platform is GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation) compliant. Plus, users can always control whether they want to make their profiles, or badges, public or not or to share their information with any third parties.
iTTi School of English is excited to partner with Credly, a leader in digital badging, to offer this innovative, new credential to the TEFL/TESOL world around the globe. Now iTTi graduates can collect, showcase, and share their accomplishments using digital badges on Credly’s Acclaim platform.
