Add Certification Credentials

When you earn a certification from one of the many issuing bodies, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Cisco, or Project Management Institute (PMI), you get a digital certification credential. This credential contains all the supporting details validating your certification work. Sometimes the credentials come in the form of badges from a digital badge provider, such as Accredible or Credly, and sometimes they come in the form of PDFs or other file formats that you download and print. In either case, you can add your certification to Percipio so you can keep all your learning information in one place.

There are two ways to add your certification to Percipio depending on how your credentials were shared with you:

  • Add Certification badges (Accredible or Credly)
  • Add External learning (PDF or other)

If you received an email from Accredible or Credly with your certification credentials, use this process to add your certification to Percipio:

  1. After you log into Percipio, from the left navigation bar, select My Learning > Learning Activity, and then select the External learning tab.

  2. Select Add Certification Badge.

  3. Select the issuing body from the list. The issuing body is the organization providing the certification such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Cisco, or Project Management Institute (PMI).

  4. Enter or paste the URL to the certification badge.

    1. Go to www.accredible.com

    2. Select Retrieve a Credential.

    3. From the email you receive, select the link to the certification you want to download.

    4. From the certification badge page, select the Embed link.

    5. From the Embed Credential page, select Copy Link.

      Note: If you need additional help obtaining a copy of your certification badge, you should contact your badge provider directly for assistance. You can find more information about downloading and sharing your digital badge on the Accredible website.

    1. Go to www.credly.com and sign in.

    2. From the main menu, select the Badges tab.

    3. Select the badge you want to download and then Share.

    4. Select the Public Link link.

  6. Review the credential information to ensure everything is accurate, then select Save. You now see your certification credentials in External learning and administrators now see them in reports.
