Frequently Asked Questions

Associations
How is Accredible different from issuing paper or PDF certificates?

Paper and PDF certificates do only one thing: confirm that someone completed something. They can’t be instantly verified by an employer, carry no structured skills metadata, offer no visibility into whether a member opened or shared them, and generate no referral traffic back to your programs. 

Accredible handles what comes after the credential is issued: instant third-party verification via a secure QR code or URL, structured metadata that tells employers exactly what a member knows and how they were assessed, analytics on opens and shares, and automated email campaigns that keep members engaged through renewal cycles. Every share is a referral back to your association, putting your brand and your programs in front of potential members your marketing budget didn’t reach.

Will members see Accredible’s branding on their credentials?

All Accredible plans include branding controls so your association's brand is front and center in the credential experience. The level of control increases by plan: Connect includes logo, colors, and primary credential page branding; Growth adds a fully custom domain, complete CSS control, and full white-labeling across emails, credential pages, and member directories, with no Accredible branding in the experience at all.

What types of credentials can we issue? We do more than just certifications.

Accredible supports the full range of recognition an association typically needs: certification badges and certificates, event and conference badges for speakers and attendees, membership credentials, volunteer recognition, and article or contribution badges. IISE, for example, issues credentials for Six Sigma certifications, conference participation, and members who contribute articles to their magazine. 

You can issue both a digital badge and a certificate for the same achievement if your program calls for it, and all credential types sit within the same platform and analytics dashboard.

How does Accredible help with certification renewals?

Accredible supports automatic expiration dates on any credential, with automated renewal reminder emails sent to members before their certification lapses. Members receive a direct link to the course or assessment they need to complete, without your team having to manage the outreach manually.

How does Accredible help grow non-dues revenue?

Credentials drive enrollment when they’re set up to do it. Accredible’s Recommendations feature advertises your courses directly on credential pages, including in CourseFinder, Accredible’s credential directory, and course search platform. Members who have just earned one certification see a clear prompt toward the next one.

Combined with Email Campaigns that trigger reenrollment incentives at the right moments, the platform is built to turn credential issuance into a program growth loop, not just a recognition exercise.

How do we get more members to share their credentials after they earn them?

Most associations send one notification when a credential is issued. Members who don’t engage immediately rarely come back to it, and a credential that sits in an inbox doesn’t build brand awareness or drive referrals to your programs.

Accredible’s One-Click Sharing removes the biggest barrier: members share to 40+ platforms without creating an account or navigating to a separate platform. Combined with automated Email Campaigns that trigger sharing reminders at the right moments, the two features together are what move share rates from passive to consistent.
