Your credential and its badge

Every CBA credential carries a digital badge, coloured by its field. Here are the files, the steps for adding a credential to a professional profile, an email signature that carries your badge, and the rules for displaying them.

Displaying a credential

1

Only while it is current

Display the badge and use the designation only while your credential is current. If it lapses, remove it, or say that it has expired.

2

At the level you hold

The badge states the credential’s level on its ribbon. Do not describe a Certificate or Practitioner credential as evidence of professional experience.

3

With the proof beside it

Link the badge to your entry in the public register wherever you can, and give your credential ID when asked. The register is the credential; the badge represents it.

4

As it was issued

Use the files on this page or your certification page. Do not redraw, recolour, crop or add to the badge: its colour identifies the field, and its lettering the credential.

These restate the first obligation of the Code of Professional Conduct, which binds every credential holder.

The badges

One design, in four colours: red for finance, green for accounting, blue for management and gold for technology. Each is available as a vector file, for print and design work, and as a PNG for profiles, posts and email.

On your professional profile

On LinkedIn, add the credential to the Licences & certifications section of your profile, with these details. The credential URL lets anyone who reads your profile check the credential in one click.

To announce it in a post, attach the PNG of your badge and link to your register entry.
