Accepting, storing, managing and sharing OpenText Digital Badges is free and exclusive to those who have earned an OpenText Digital Badge.

OpenText uses Credly’s badge platform to translate learning outcomes into digital badges. This allows the badge earner to manage, accept and share their credentials as a digital asset. Every credential and profile on Credly has a unique URL that can be embedded on a resume or website.

Credly is an enterprise-class digital badging platform. The Credly web platform provides a secure means of storage, transport and credential publishing that adds a layer of protection against those who may falsely claim high-stakes credentials.

OpenText has entered into a vendor relationship with Credly to implement a program for web-enabled credentials displayed as digital badges, and is where badges can be claimed, stored and transmitted. It is also where the metadata contained within the credentials can be verified.
