Earned a badge on Typsy but not sure what that means. You can find out all the information you need to know about badges below.

What is an Open Badge?

An Open Badge is a digital representation of a skill or achievement that you have earned. You earn a digital badge on successful completion of each individual Typsy course.

When you earn a badge for completing a Typsy course, it signifies that you have gained a certain level of knowledge or proficiency in the specific course topic. This can be valuable for those looking to advance their hospitality careers or demonstrate their skills to potential employers.

Earning an Open Badge means you've earned a credential you can keep, manage, collect, and share with others to tell the full story of your achievements.

What can I do with an Open Badge?

Open Badges are designed to be shared online, allowing you to showcase your skills and achievements to potential employers or peers.

Typsy's Open Badges are verifiable and backed by evidence, so they offer unique validity to your resume, CV, personal website, and other digital portfolios. This means that when you share your Open Badges, employers are more likely to trust the claims you make about your skills. Even better, they can click on a Typsy Open Badge, view all the evidence, read details about your achievement, and verify the badge's authenticity!

Many learning platforms offer Open Badges, so if you have received badges from multiple issuers, don't worry - here's how you can keep your badges organized:

  • Select a backpack, passport, or wallet solution. We recommend Badgr which can also be used to verify your badges.

  • Download and save or share your Open Badges in one organized digital space such as LinkedIn.

How will Typsy store my badges?

The Typsy platform will store any Open Badge you have earned on Typsy! You can access all your badges via your Typsy Profile or via the Badges page (under Achievements).

Remember, your Typsy profile is always available to you, even if you no longer use Typsy!
