Digital Badge FAQs

How do I access my Digital Badges?

How can I manage the privacy settings?

Are my credentials verified?

How can I find or restore my credentials?

Once you have been issued a badge from us, you will receive an email notification (sent through Accredible) from certificates@i-w.org. Please allow for 2-3 weeks after you pass your certification exam for your credential notice to be delivered. The notification email will be delivered to the email address you supplied and will give you a link to your badge.

What happens when my credentials expire?

Your digital badge and certificate will show as expired. Contact Investments & Wealth Institute at recertification@i-w.org for information on how to reinstate your certification.

How does an employer/individual verify my credentials?

Every individual has their own unique webpage that hosts their credentials with a “verify” button. Employers/others just need to click on the “verify” button to the right of the image of the digital badge. Automatically, the system runs through the checks to make sure that the credential is genuine and still valid.
