The most significant advantage of Accredible for us is the available integration with LinkedIn and customization options. When competitors are only giving paper-diplomas for their training, we are offering our students a paper and digital version, and this second one often is much more valuable for students; they can attach them in an online version to their CV, add it to their LinkedIn profile, etc.”
“I’d like to share three lessons learned from our certification implementation. We add: (1) a unique code for our training, defining what the training was and when it occurred, (2) a description and scope of the training – including skills and competences that the student learned, (3) a hologram – added manually on the paper version. This is the sign that a certificate is authentic. – Martyna Tarnawska, Digital Marketing Consultant at Socjomania.
