Digital badges have gained momentum in the IT community over the past few years as a means of demonstrating a shared understanding of accomplishments. Our online digital badge program enables you to easily promote your learning and achievements to employers, colleagues, and friends through social media.
In addition to highlighting your accomplishments, SAP Global Certification digital badges help you identify new or better career pathways and guide you toward further learning opportunities. They make it easier and faster for potential employers to identify your skills, which helps accelerate the recruiting and hiring process.
The SAP Global Certification Team started issuing badges in January 2018 to those who complete SAP certification. So far, the program has an acceptance rate of 46.1 percent, equaling 3,300 badges distributed. The roll out will happen in a phased approach. Please note that in the first wave, digital badges will be issued for select programs only. Depending on your program, it’s possible your certificate will be available as a digital badge later this year. For complete details on the SAP Global Certification Digital Badges program, we’ve created both a Step-by-Step Guide and a list of Frequently Asked Questions for your reference.
