What can I receive upon completion?
Upon completion of each course, students will receive a digital badge certifying their competence.
The IBM Digital Badge is a cross-industry digital recognition of technical skills which can be shared on social and professional networking sites, even in your digital signature.

The courses suit working adults and just about anyone keen to bridge their digital skills gap and stand out from the competition.
