The IBCT Digital Badge User Guide provides clear, step-by-step guidance on what an IBCT digital badge is, why it is offered as an optional paid service, and how certified trainers can correctly use, share, embed, and maintain their badges. It explains credentialing terminology, ethical and acceptable use, validity and renewal, privacy and verification, and practical sharing on platforms such as LinkedIn and professional websites. The guide ensures consistent, responsible badge use while protecting IBCT’s not-for-profit mission, independence, and the integrity of its certifications.
