NACTEL recognizes the completion of a series of courses by issuing a badge. A NACTEL badge is a digital representation of a learned skill, and contains digital content that can be shared on social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. Badges will serve as prerequisites to hands-on training you receive through Pace University’s online communications program. NACTEL badges are recognized by our advisory council members, AT&T, Verizon, Lumen Technologies, Frontier Communications, IBEW and CWA, as well as NACTEL’s managing partner CAEL (Council for Adult and Experiential Learning).
How Will I Receive a Badge?
Upon completing required courses through Pace University, NACTEL will issue you your badge in your name and you will be sent an email through NACTEL via Credly containing your new badge. You will then be able to view and showcase your achievement. Credly is the company that NACTEL and Pace University uses to share these intelligent badges that are specifically connected to each individual’s achievements.
