about us.

As education and training shifts to digital portfolios that provide potential employers actual knowledge and skills attainment, institutions that don’t evolve will be left behind. Since 2012, Digital Credentials Institute (DCI), a division of Madison College, has developed a robust portfolio of best practices to support organizations for venturing into the micro-credential space.

Digital Credentials Institute offers turnkey advantages:

Experience: Over 7 years of badge development awarding

Infrastructure: Micro-credentials offered immediately, without overextending internal resources

Customization: Solutions are tailored to the unique needs of our clients and the partnership

Employers give equal value to credentials and degrees

The Digital Credentials Institute has managed everything from badge design to the back-end technology set up and made things so simple and seamless for us, that I felt we must be forgetting something!!!

I’ve always been bad at talking about myself in interviews, but interviewing with digital badges gave me a voice I didn’t know I had.
