How do I create a digital badge?
In three steps. 1) Pick a design and enter the badge name, description, earning criteria, and skills. 2) Upload an Excel list or choose program participants. 3) Click Publish, and the badges go out by KakaoTalk and email. See How to create a digital badge for a full walkthrough.
How do I choose the skills to put on a badge?
Pick them from the skills list in Certi. When you enter the badge name and description, AI suggests matching skills, so choosing is easy.
Can I send many badges at once with Excel?
Yes. Upload an Excel list, and badges go out to hundreds of people in one go. You can also add details that differ for each recipient, such as a team name or year.
Can I issue badges through KakaoTalk?
Yes. You can send badges by KakaoTalk notification and by email. Recipients tap the link in the notification to see their badge right away. This cuts down on missed badges caused by emails landing in spam.
What recipient information do I need to send a badge?
A name, plus an email address (for email delivery) or a mobile phone number (for KakaoTalk delivery). Depending on how you run your program, you can add details such as affiliation or course name. We never collect sensitive data such as national ID numbers.
Can we issue PDF certificates along with badges?
Yes. You can export a PDF certificate in your institution’s format with the same details as the badge. Landscape and portrait layouts are available, and recipients can download the PDF themselves from their badge page. See PDF certificates and digital badges for details.
Can we get a badge design made just for our institution?
Yes. You can add your logo to a shared design template and use it right away, or ask us for a custom badge design for your institution. Custom design is a one-time fee per design, up to 3 revisions. One custom design is included with Pro.
Can we give badges in levels, like Basic and Advanced?
Yes. Create a separate badge for each level, so learners collect them in order, from participation to excellence. You can also offer course badges alongside a bundle badge. See How to issue digital badges in tiers for details.
Can several admins work in Certi together?
Yes. There’s no limit on admin accounts, and you can invite colleagues as members and split permissions by department. A feature for running several organizations (teams) within one institution is coming soon.
Can I revoke or resend a badge sent by mistake?
Yes. You can revoke a badge in the admin dashboard and send it again. Credits used on badges already sent are not refunded. Think of it like a print shop: once a page is printed, the paper and ink are already used.
Can I download our issuance records?
Yes. For each badge, you can see who received it and who has viewed it, and download the issuance records as an Excel file. This works well for program results reports.
Can we handle everything from sign-up to issuing in one place?
Yes. With program management, you can manage your participant list and issue badges from it directly. Application forms for collecting participants are coming soon.
Can we give badges to event or contest participants?
Yes. Beyond course completion, you can record participation, finishing, and awards from events as badges. The National Science Museum (Korea) and the Ministry of Education’s 300+ Promising Student Startup Teams event have issued Certi badges.
