We’re excited to share that digital badges are being made available to professional members starting 2 July

We're rolling them out over the next couple of weeks, so keep an eye on your inbox as your digital badge could be on the way soon.

All CIPD professional members can now access their proof of membership as a digital badge and certificate. 
 
Powered by Accredible, they provide a verifiable, shareable proof of your professional membership. Each one contains unique metadata about your membership, securely recorded and easily verified online.

What's the difference between a CIPD digital badge and a CIPD digital certificate?

A CIPD digital badge is a visual, embeddable award, ideal for online sharing. A CIPD digital certificate is a more detailed, formal and printable document. 
 
As a CIPD professional member*, you'll receive both. You'll get a new badge at the start of each membership year when you renew or when you achieve a new membership level.
 
*CIPD digital credentials are not available for Affiliate or Student members. If you’re a Student member, you can look forward to receiving your digital badge once you complete your studies.
