Where Have All The (Certification) Badges Gone?

Published

A new year is usually synonymous with resolutions. Did you know that decluttering is one of the most popular resolutions made every year? It's a great way to take control of your life and eliminate stress!

That's exactly what we've done with your certification badge on your profile pages.

Now, no matter how many certifications you earn, you'll receive one "Blackbaud Certified" badge. This replaces the multitude of badges we had for each certification.

Have no fear! You can still show off all of your certifications on your profile page. Your list now lives on the left side of the page under "Certifications."

That list populates after you claim your badge in Community.

Are you Blackbaud Certified? Is it your goal to earn a certification this year? Let us know that too!

If I am certified from a prior employer (but it is still active), may I still get a badge for my current profile?

I love my badges but understand branding and moving forward!

I have a question (or ten!) I hope to do my certification this year. I originally got set up in BB community with my old workplace so now I have an account under my personal email address in the Champions system, and this is my account for my new workplace, which is a one-year contract. If I do my certification, how do I ensure it stays with "me" and not my contract employer login. Does that even make sense? Ha, thanks.

Hi Crystal,
I do not see my RE Certifications or Badges on my profile. Can you help with this? Thanks.

I have 2 on certifications (core and oncampus) and RE but only learning management is showing. If I got to the correct page to look.

Hi Crystal! Happy New Year! Thank you for all you're doing for the community! The new look is very clean, but I can't see my certifications - how do I claim them in the community? Thank you!

I've been using Raiser's Edge for 2 years now and took all the Fundamentals courses before our database went live in RE, but haven't taken the exam yet. It is my goal to take the exam and get certified the first half of this year.

Hi! I can't seem to see my certifications on the left side either, as I saw Cindy's comment below. Can you help? Thanks!

My link for the Pro badge is broken. How do I go about claiming it? I also don't have a link for the bcre one. https://community.blackbaud.com/blackbauduniversity/bcrepro - broken link.

Thanks!
