Verifiable Digital Credentials
Verifiable Digital Credentials let an association or training provider issue certificates, continuing education credits and badges as Open Badges 3.0 credentials with a public check page on its own domain. Employers verify in seconds, and fakes fail.

Questions about Verifiable Digital Credentials
How is this different from Credly or Accredible?
Those are good platforms with their own networks. This runs on your own domain using the same open standard, without a third party platform contract.
Can we move existing credentials over?
Yes. Past recipients can be reissued from your records.
What happens if we stop working with Orca?
The credentials and the verify page keep working, because they live on your domain and use open standards.
