Foundations badges
AOTA offers a robust selection of continuing education (CE) courses to support practitioners in providing the best outcomes for their clients. Practitioners earn a verifiable digital badge upon successful completion of the series of courses indicated. To support you on your professional development pathway, many courses taken for a Foundations Badge can also be used to help you fulfill requirements for micro credentials and ultimately a professional certificate.
What are Foundations badges?
Foundations badges are based on digital badge technology just like those for our micro credentials and professional certificates. Foundations digital badges are web-enabled representations of a collection of learning achievements.They can appear on web pages, your email signature, and other social media.
Digital badge technology has transformed the way education and accomplishments are being recognized. Digital badges are:
- A trusted way to share your learning achievements online or on your résumé.
- Easily verified in real time.
- Concrete evidence of your accomplishments and your capabilities.
AOTA offers our Foundations digital badges for completion of course series, volunteer achievements, and attendance at various live workshops.
You’ve invested time, energy, and money into your continuing education. Make sure the right people know about it!
