Promote your designations with digital badges!
NAA has partnered with BadgeCert, a leader in digital credentialing and professional recognition, for a digital badging program for NAA designations. The partnership allows NAA designation holders to promote their hard-earned professional achievements. The BadgeCert platform facilitates the recording, issuing, storing and sharing of digital badges to recognize, legitimize and professionalize the achievement of earning an NAA designation by facilitating digital interaction with clients, colleagues and employers.
NAA created a custom badge icon to reflect each designation
When you click on your own digital badge, you will be able to see and share the information about your designation
Badges are issued to verified, active designation holders. If the active designation holder fails to renew their credential by the expiration date, the badge will appear gray with “Expired” wording.

What are the benefits?
- 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.
Will I still receive a certificate and lapel pin?
To receive a lapel pin for your designation, complete the order form, also located at the link within the email you received when you were issued your digital badge. There is no cost to receive your first lapel pin. There is a $10 fee to receive a replacement pin.
Do I register for BadgeCert?
