Showcase your verified Professional Qualifications that highlight your education, training, and experience

ICMA Credentials are verified digital badges and credentials that allow you to easily communicate your skills and accomplishments online. All credentials are certified by ICMA and contain verified metadata describing the type of professional qualification and the education, training and experience required to earn it.

They can be used in email signatures, digital resumes, personal websites and social media platforms, and are a great way to increase opportunities in the workforce and beyond.

You can earn a credential for your membership, participating in a range of activities, receiving awards and joining education and CPD programs.
