Digital Credential Badges
Badges act as another form of recognition to showcase the many hours students spend outside of their courses to build their skill-set in a variety of topics.
Bootcamps
We offer two types of credential badges based on participation and demonstrated skills within Bootcamps.
Badge 1.0 is available for Marketing and User-Centric Bootcamps. Participants earn this badge by successfully attending and engaging in the required bootcamps. This badge reflects participation and involvement throughout the bootcamp experience.
Badge 2.0 is available for technical Bootcamps (R, Python, Power of Excel, Power BI, SQL, and Tableau). To earn this badge, participants must successfully complete the Bootcamp Challenge. This badge reflects a participant’s ability to apply concepts learned during the bootcamp through a practical challenge. While completing all levels is strongly recommended, it is not required to earn the Badge 2.0.
Please note: Credential badges are issued only to current Ted Rogers School students and alumni.
