Once you've been awarded a badge for your course you'll be notified via email and in-app notification. You can then choose to share it and showcase your achievements.
Tip: You can also request an endorsement from someone who has seen your skills/work for this badge to add further support/evidence for your skills and knowledge.
There are a few ways you can share your badges. In this article, we'll cover one of the more popular ways (via Linkedin) but anywhere you can share a URL, you can share your badge.
How to find your badge and badge URL
