NDA Digital Badges

Showcase Your Expertise with Digital Badges 

 

NDA is committed to providing you with the latest tools available to help you achieve your professional goals. Communicating and sharing your accomplishments is more important now than ever before in our digital-forward world. NDA is proud to offer digital badges for certificants who hold the Certified Demolition Supervisor credential and those who have completed the Foundations of Demolition Management Series.

 

Digital badges are extremely versatile and can be shared nearly everywhere — in your email signature, digital resumes, social media profiles, and more! Digital badges can be printed as physical certificates of recognition as well.

 

Not only do these digital badges serve as a mark of excellence, they also give our members access to new resources to expand your professional network, and develop your career. We’ve partnered with Credly, the leading digital badge platform, to provide demolition professionals with a digital version of NDA credentials and recognitions.

About Digital Badging

What is a digital badge?

Digital badges are a paperless way to showcase your NDA achievements. The Certification Board of the National Demolition Association (CBN) issues CDS certification badges that can easily be shared online and printed as physical certificates of recognition. NDA also offers digital badges to show off your attainment of the Foundations of Demolition Management Series Certificate.

What are the benefits of a digital badge?

Representing your skills via a digital badge gives you an easy way to share your abilities online via a simple, trusted method that can be verified in real-time. You also can provide others a physical copy of your digital badge whenever you need it- printed at home. These badges provide employers and fellow Demolition professionals concrete evidence of your skillset and credentials and what you’re capable of. Credly also offers labor market insights, based on your skills. You can search and apply for job opportunities right through the Credly platform.

Using the Digital Badge

How do I receive a digital badge?

You will receive an email notification from Credly (admin@credly.com) with instructions for claiming your badge and setting up your account. All new CDS certifications will be issued a digital badge approximately two weeks after receiving a passing exam result. Successfully renewed CDS certifications will receive updated badges by the end of the calendar year of their renewal deadline. Foundations of Demolition Management Series Certificate awardees will be issued a digital badge approximately two weeks after completing all program requirements.

Where and how can I share my digital badge?

You can share your badge directly from the Credly platform to your LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook profiles; over email; add it to a website or in your email signature. Watch this video for an overview of digital badge management with Credly.

What if I don't want my digital badge to be public?

You can easily configure your privacy settings in Credly. You’re in complete control of the information about yourself that is made public. In order to have your CDS or Foundations badge quickly verified, please leave your badge public for verification.

What’s to keep someone else from copying my digital badge and using it for themselves?

While badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted on the Credly platform. This link to verified data makes them more reliable and secure than a paper certificate. It also eliminates the possibility of anyone claiming your credential and your identity.
