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. These are currently offered for the following bootcamps: R, Python, Power of Excel, Power BI, Tableau, SQL, Marketing (Must complete: Branding, Graphic/Visual Design, SEO & Analytics and Social Media).

As of September 2022, we have updated our badge 1.0 eligibility for Marketing and User-Centric badges. Participants will only earn the badge after successfully attending the required bootcamps. The badge 1.0 reflects participants' attendance and engagement within the bootcamps.

As of September 2022, we have upgraded our badge 2.0 eligibility for R, Python, Power of Excel, Power BI, SQL and Tableau. In order to obtain a Badge 2.0, students must successfully complete the Bootcamp Challenge. The badge 2.0 reflects participants' ability to solve a Bootcamp Challenge activity to demonstrate their understanding of concepts from our programming. It is strongly recommended that participants complete all levels but no longer a requirement to earn the Badge 2.0.

Please Note: Credential badges are only issued to current Ted Rogers School Students and Alumni.
