Creating a learner-facing page that explains how to use and share a digital badge or certificate isn't just helpful — it's strategic. Whether embedded in your LMS, linked in email notifications, or shared in onboarding, this page becomes a powerful tool to:
Increase learner engagement and satisfaction
Improve credential sharing and discoverability
Demonstrate the value of your program to external audiences
Reduce support requests by answering common questions
Position your organization as a forward-thinking credentialing leader
While many organizations use these pages to support learners after they've received a credential, the most effective ones also use them before and during the learning experience — to motivate learners, set expectations, and communicate long-term value.
This guide gives you everything you need to build that page: modular sections, sample copy, sharing tips, and optional enhancements. You can copy and customize each piece to match your brand and goals.
“We get questions from learners about how do I share this? What should I do with this? And so helping them understand not just what the credential is but how to use it is really important.” — Amanda Brantner, Senior Director of Content and Educational Portfolio Strategy, Gies College of Business at the University of Illinois
How to Use This Guide
Copy the modular content blocks from the template sections below.
Customize the language and visuals to reflect your brand tone and credentialing model.
Publish the learner-facing page on a public site or inside your LMS.
Link it in credential delivery emails, onboarding materials, course dashboards, and newsletters.
Improve it over time by incorporating learner stories, feedback, and updated examples.
