Had your first badge published? Read on to find out what's next!
Congratulations 🎉 your organisation’s first badge has been published to Credly, and you are ready to start issuing digital badges!
What happens now?
When your first badge has been published, the Badge Nation team will create a new collection on Credly to house this badge, and any of your future badges that pass through the Quality Assurance process.
Your collection of badges will appear on the Badge Nation issuing license on Credly.
Creating your collection includes adding any individuals that have been designated as Collection Managers in your organisation's Membership Agreement. Collection Managers can access Credly with permissions to issue badges and generate analytics.
If you have been designated as a Collection Manager for your organisation, complete the steps below to get started with Credly.
