Your EMA Certificate: Recognized Proof of Successful Completion
Upon successful completion of a certified EMA course, all participants receive a recognized certificate. Whether it's a program or a specialization module, upon passing the exam, the coveted EMA certificate is awarded.
(The prerequisite is fulfilling the criteria defined in the examination regulations.)
What are Digital Badges?
Digital badges, also known as badges, open badges, or credentials, are a modern way to make a learner's achievements visible. They provide a verifiable proof of learning outcomes, acquired skills, competencies, or other personal qualifications.
The basic idea is to make further education more visible and tangible. After all, completed further training is only beneficial if the acquired competencies are also clearly visible.
A digital badge creates this transparency and facilitates the recognition of what has been learned - both within and outside a company.
How the Mainframe Academy Uses Digital Badges
EMA GmbH and EMA AG certify their programs and numerous specialization modules with digital badges. These offer an innovative way to digitally recognize the achievements of learners. The big advantage: The badges can not only be shared in personal emails but also on social networks, making the acquired competencies publicly visible. A certificate no longer just ends up in a personnel file but can be actively used for professional advancement.
For the issuance of digital badges, the European Mainframe Academy (EMA) uses the "Open Badges" system. An open badge consists of two parts: a visual component, the emblem, and invisible metadata that contains information about the issuer, the recipient, the award criteria, and the learning outcomes achieved. This metadata is stored as verifiable proof of achievements and goals, making the badge a verifiable seal of quality.
