      My Skills Pass/Backpack – Import Open Badge Factory badges to your account via PDF

      Find out how to feature badges issued via Open Badge Factory on your My Skills Pass or My Skills Backpack profile using a PDF.

      Importing your badges is a quick and easy way to display your badges from different issuing platforms in one place.

      Please note: depending on which organisation has issued your badge, they may already be linked to My Skills Pass or My Skills Backpack. The guide below takes you through the process for adding OBF badges that are not already linked.

      Before you start:

      Ensure the email address(es) that you were issued your Open Badge Factory badges to have been added to your My Skills Pass / My Skills Backpack account.

      1. Make sure you have accepted your badge                                                                                     

      Please see this guide on accepting a badge via OBF.                             

       

      2. On your Open Badge Factory acceptance URL, find ‘Download PDF’ and click to download.

      This will download your badge as a PDF.

       

      3. Log in to your My Skills Pass / My Skills Backpack account.
