Digital Badging

Digital badges are web-enabled representations of your NAA achievements. Your digital badge is made of an image and metadata uniquely linked to you. This ensures that only you can take credit for your achievement.

You can share your digital badge to popular online social media and professional platforms, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. It can also be embedded in a résumé, your personal website, or your email signature. Anyone who views your badge can select it to learn more about your achievement and to verify its authenticity.

Once a digital badge has been issued to you, you will receive an email from naa@badges.auctioneers.org with a link to your digital badge and information on how to utilize it.

Alternatively, once a digital badge has been issued to you, you may visit badgecert.com and login. Click "Forgot Password" and you will receive an email with a temporary link to update your password. Once logged in, you can manage and share your digital badges. If the temporary link does not appear, your email program is stripping the link. Try using an alternative method to view your e-mail.

Your digital badge can be shared via social networking sites, email, and on your website. You can share your digital badge directly from the link in the email you received when you were issued your badge, or you may create a BadgeCert account. For email and website sharing, you will need to paste the badge image to the appropriate place in your email signature or on your website, then link that image to your unique badge URL.

In order to accept and share your digital badge, login to badgecert.com/login with the credentials provided in the welcome email you received. If you have forgotten your password or may not have received the welcome email, BadgeCert will send you a temporary one which can be updated.

To create a BadgeCert account or receive a temporary password to update your personal details and share your digital badge on other social networks, please:

1. Go to the login page
2. Select Log In from the top menu
3. Reset your password using the "Forgot Password" link and your National Auctioneers Association profile email address.

Because most industries evolve so quickly, it is vital that professionals continually hone their skills in order to stay competitive. You’ve demonstrated this mastery partly through your NAA achievements!

• Your NAA digital badge is included with your annual renewal fees and provides a way for you to effectively convey your verified knowledge and expertise to employers, colleagues and recruiters—upon completion of designation programs and requirements.
• Traditional forms of professional recognition, namely paper certificates, are no longer the best way to communicate the nature of earned achievements, nor can they be readily verified or shared online.
• Digital credentials, often called badges, act as a means to reliably recognize professional achievements such as designations and continuing education experiences.
• A digital badge allows earners to have 24/7 access to a verifiable and current record of their accomplishment that they can share with whomever they choose on social networks, resumes, e-mail signatures and websites.

Yes! You can access your certificate at any time through your digital badge in your BadgeCert account. Simply click on your digital badge to open the badge details. Then click the “certificate” or “wallet” links to download the files to save and print as you see fit.
