Overview

Accredible is a credentialing platform that can be integrated with the CYPHER Learning platforms. By integrating Accredible, businesses and schools can encourage course completion and learner engagement by recognizing users with Accredible credentials that showcase their growing skill sets. Accredible credentials provide users with secure, verifiable evidence of their skills, knowledge, and accomplishments, and can be shared on LinkedIn, social media, resumes, and more.

Please note: An active Accredible account is required to integrate Accredible with the CYPHER Learning platform.
