Embracing Digital Credentials

Lee Grierson

I think the IET should be leading the pack and issuing digital credentials for membership levels. Although the support for City & Guilds is a start as well as the link via the IET academy, they should set the example for the PEI's and influence EngC in issuing credentials for professional registrations. APM are an organisation setting the standards here.

Views and Thoughts appreciated especially from the IET to support progressive recognition in this digital age.

      - Good thinking! I advocate the same, digital accreditation has already become the norm in many Tech enterprises. This is the trend indeed!

      its so much more than in the tech industry now!

    City and Guilds are probably paving the way in the Engineering sector in the UK to be honest.

    What's mad is that BCS aren't even issuing digi badges but City & Guilds and APM are even though they did a report on it! 

    The IET really need to get on this one especially for members, tech members and fellows and then lobby EngC for prof reg badges in the future.

       Is this something you are aware of or who do you know who could move this forward with the likes of Credly on our behalf because once this is implemented, badges will be springing up all over LinkedIn significantly improving the IET's visibility on the platform and setting the standard for all PEI's here and probably abroad?

    Hi, not one that I'm aware of in terms of who is leading on it.  I know that  has been supportive of the tagging and badging here for CEng/Volunteer etc on the new EngX platform but don't know if this is possible or considered more widely.

    I'm afraid I'm no wiser, Kathryn. There were murmurings a year or so ago when we were talking about expanding the badges in the community, but I don't know if there is anyone specifically looking at this.
