CourseMonster Joins The IBM Badge Accreditation Program – What You Need to Know

As participants in the IBM Digital Badge Program, we’re proud to offer the full range of over 400 different software, server, and digital skill badges to all of our clients as part of our roster of online, remote learning courses. IBM accreditation badges are a great personal marketing tool – ideal for your CV, websites, portfolio, interviews, and networking.


What Are IBM Badges And How Do They Work?

IBM Badges are online representations of your final achievement(s) while learning and training – and those of thousands of other IT professionals. A full IBM badge portfolio assures employees, employers, and clients that you’re trusted and verified as a trained developer or administrator for the area(s) of IT you’re looking to work in. As all awarded badges are stored in a name-linked, centralised database, you can back up your claims with solid proof of your talents – underwritten by IBM itself. The IBM Skills Registry tracks course completion, attainment, and skillsets for all IT trainees signed up to their scheme. When you meet a course’s requirements to a good enough IBM-set standard, and your course provider verifies that you have, you earn another new badge.

How Do I Earn IBM Badges With CourseMonster?

CourseMonster is now officially authorised to issue badges on behalf of IBM. When we think you’ve met the requirements to earn an achievement, our badge officers can review your performance and add a badge to your online profile via IBM’s dedicated online, global badge dashboard, Acclaim. This easy process is repeatable for every online course you take with us.

Starting this summer, IBM awards will be made available for all Acclaim-linked, taught IT courses from CourseMonster. Send us an email or form request with your name, course, and reference number, and we’ll cross-check if you’re eligible for an award. You’ll also need to opt-in to our data privacy agreement for us to register you with Acclaim. Expect to wait for up to four weeks from the date of your request before CourseMonster can confirm your award via email. To ask for badge verification, get in touch via phone or email today.
