You earnt your professional status because you have demonstrated commitment to professional standards, ongoing development and excellence within the sport and physical activity sector.
Professional status creates value when others can see it. Whether that’s employers, clients, colleagues or prospective customers, trust grows when professional achievements are clear and credible.
With digital accreditation credentials, that trust becomes visible.
How can I share my badge?
Members with CIMSPA professional status can now share their digital accreditation credentials (digital badge) visually across their own channels.
By selecting ‘Share this credential’ from your badge, you can access a dedicated sharing area that provides code which can be copied and pasted directly into your own digital platforms.
This makes it simple to display a live visual version of your professional status badge on:
- Personal websites
- Business websites
- Email signatures
- Online portfolios
- Professional profiles
Rather than simply telling people about your professional status, members can now show it.
Sharing on social media – open the link to view your badge, then copy the URL to wherever you want to use it – when you paste the link into a post on social media, a preview of your badge will automatically load to show your status quickly and easily.
Don’t forget – you can access your digital accreditation credential through your CIMSPA dashboard in the ‘My professional status’ tab.
