Esri Academy Streamlines Access to Certification Badges and eCertificates

Certified individuals that have updated their CertMetrics profile can go directly to My Academy > My Dashboard to view your certifications through your Esri Academy ArcGIS Account. In addition to this, candidates will now accept, view, and share their certification credentials through only one website, Credly. Here’s how to do so:

  1. Login to your ArcGIS profile on Esri Academy
  2. Click on “My Academy” in the top left corner of the site and select “My Dashboard”
  3. On the dashboard, click “Certifications Achieved” to view a list of your Esri Certifications and quickly access the Credly website to manage and share your certification digital badges and e-certificates

How do I enable my account?

Visit CertMetrics, login and update your profile to ‘Opt-In’. Esri’s Technical Certification program is created and administered through the help of valuable certification partners such as Pearson VUE for exam scheduling and proctoring and Credly to accept, manage, and share your certification achievements via digital badges and e-Certificates. As a result, certified individuals must create and align different vendor accounts to not only take their certification exams but view their exam results and accept their certification credentials. You can learn more about Esri Certification Vendor Partner account management best practices in this article.

These new enhancements will enable Esri Academy’s My Dashboard to become the one-stop destination for individuals to view their certifications and access Credly to share their accomplishments.
