What are Badges?
Badges are digital credentials you can easily and quickly create, award, and collect like certificates to make learning achievements visible – for both digital and in-person offerings.
Digital Visibility with a Single Click
With OEB, your learners receive their digital certificates conveniently via email.
A single click is all it takes to share their success directly on LinkedIn and make their expertise visible to their professional network. Of course, we also cover the traditional standard—a PDF certificate is always included. This is how simple modern competency tracking can be!

More than a badge – Your Benefits:
Your Badges Speak Europe’s Language – with ESCO
Our AI assistant automatically links your learning offerings with the competency descriptions from ESCO – the European skills, competencies and occupations database. This means your Badges are understood everywhere – by employers, educational institutions, and job platforms across Europe.
You Provide the Content,
We Provide the Design
Creating professional, standardized Badges has never been easier. Our Badge Editor, including an icon library, helps you design visually high-quality Badges for every type of learning – quickly, intuitively, and without any design expertise. Your institution’s logo is automatically added to the Badge image.
Flexible and Time-Efficient:
Our QR-Code-Issuing
Badges are awarded to email addresses. Don’t have your learners’ email addresses on hand? No problem! Your participants can simply enter their email themselves via a QR code, for example, at the end of a course. You’ll see the requests on OEB and issue the Badges with just one click – fast, data-secure, and efficient.
OEB Dashboard – Measuring Impact
We visualize your educational data—fully automated! At a glance, you can track the progress of badge issuance and competency areas across your programs. Export your data for impact reports, identify growth potential, and optimize your learning offers based on real-world data.
Understanding Strengths with
Wallet and Learner Profile
The Competency View in the OEB Wallet shows your learners how much time they’ve collectively invested in strengthening a specific competency – automatically summed up across all Badges. They also see their focus areas and development potential. This motivates them, boosts their self-confidence, and helps with career orientation!
Micro-Degrees –
Success Through Learning Paths
Learners collect Badges from different courses that combine to form a learning path. Once all requirements are met, our system automatically awards the final Micro-Degree Badge – a visible, verifiable credential for strengthened competencies. This way, you create motivating learning experiences and simultaneously boost the perception of your educational offerings.
You Do the Content – We Handle the Integration
Seamlessly connect OEB with the tools you already use—for example, via our plugins for Moodle, WordPress, and TYPO3. Alternatively, you can connect your system directly through our API. This allows you to issue Open Educational Badges easily from within your own teaching environment.
