IBM Digital Badge

IBM offers a wide array of badges centering on Analytics, Cloud, Commerce, Mobile, Security, Systems, and Watson. Badges are awarded based on a combination of the following: completion of course(s), demonstration of knowledge, and passing an exam. There may be additional pre-qualifications, such as being an IBM client, for higher badges. All badge requirements are noted within the course description under 'What it takes to earn this badge.'

 

*Special Note:

IBM offers material and courseware within their site, which we highly recommend as your primary resource reference. However, for additional learning and preparation, we have included supplemental material under the Resources section of this IBM page.
