A digital certificate is an official, secure electronic document that evidences your achievement in a Trinity College London exam. It looks the same and carries the same format and validity as a traditional paper certificate but offers additional benefits:
A digital badge is a visual, clickable symbol of your achievement that links directly to your digital certificate and includes verified details such as the subject, level, date, and result you achieved. It is designed for you to be able to share and celebrate your success, digital badges can be embedded in CVs, LinkedIn profiles, digital portfolios, email signatures or social media. They make it easy to showcase your skills and stand out in university or job applications.
Accredible is the leading platform for creating, issuing and managing secure digital certificates and badges and is the trusted platform that Trinity uses to offer this service.
When you pass a Trinity exam, you (or your parent/guardian) will receive an email from Trinity with a link to your official digital certificate and badge. This will take you to the Accredible platform, where your certificate and badge are securely stored online.
Here you have the option to create an Accredible account to unlock extra features - like sharing your certificate or badge on social media, LinkedIn, your CV or in emails.
It’s secure, easy to access and puts your achievement at your fingertips, anytime you need it.
