As part of our comprehensive credentialing ecosystem, alongside the Trusted Learner Network (TLN) and ASU Pocket, CredID is ASU’s in-house platform to streamline the process of creating and awarding digital credentials, and for learners to validate and share their skills and achievements.

At launch, CredID will support a feature set similar to what you may already be used to with other credentialing platforms. Issuers will be able to create and award digital credentials and manage staff members within their issuer. Learners will be able to claim digital credentials they’ve earned and share them in multiple ways.
At launch, CredID will support the following features:
In the future, CredID will include features such as...
A select group of departments and units will participate in pilot testing beginning in September 2024. These pilot testers will provide feedback on existing functionality and recommendations for future improvements. Follow-up testing phases are tentatively planned for Spring 2025.

A digital credential is an award that indicates an accomplishment or skill that can be displayed, accessed, and verified online.
Digital credentials help learners by empowering them to more easily articulate their achievements and collect a record of what exactly they have accomplished after completing an experience.
Digital credentials should be awarded to recognize knowledge, skills, experiences, and accomplishments that a learner would want to share with an employer or educational institution, among other entities.
Some possible experiences to which you could attach a digital credential include:
Issuers may represent an individual, a course, an instructor, a department, a school, or an organization. Whatever or whoever they represent, an issuer’s purpose is to provide consistency across all credentialing efforts involved. A standardized system will help create a set of guidelines and standards that will align credentials, ensuring appropriate criteria, branding, and officiation of all credentials set forth by those represented.
