What are digital badges?

Digital badges, also called digital credentials or micro-credentials, are online visual representations of skills and competencies earned through learning.

Several courses in the FAO elearning Academy are linked to a final certification test, aimed at verifying the acquisition of skills and competencies associated with those elearning courses. Certification is granted through the Digital Badges system.

An FAO digital badge offers learners a visible, verifiable and sharable recognition of their certification.
