In general, there is no refund on or after the day the offering (course, webinar, event, or other like offerings that have a defined start date) begins. For the self-paced, online offerings, there is no refund 24 hours after registration. The exception for a refund is if the offering is cancelled due to low enrollment. In this case, a full refund is given.

The IRS requires educational institutions to report amounts paid for qualified tuition related expenses only. The IRS considers this to be classes where credit was earned. It does not allow us to report non-credit courses. Please consult your tax advisor or IRS Publication 970 to see if you can claim tuition and related expenses not reported on your IRS Form 1098-T.

1098-T form information

Our Professional Development and Bootcamp continuing studies courses are non academic-credit programs. As a result, we do not provide 1098-T forms. However, continuing education students may be eligible for the lifetime learning tax credit. To learn more about Lifetime Learning Credit, click here.

Digital badges, sometimes called open badges, are credentials that can be displayed, reviewed, and shared online. Sometimes referred to as digital micro-credentials, they are awarded when a person has proven knowledge, competency, or skill in a specific area or with a specific task. The badge image carries data about who issued the badge, as well as exactly what was carried out to earn the badge.

Digital badging continues to be an emerging area, more employers are learning and inquiring about them. While many employers may not ask specifically to see your digital badge portfolio, they will be interested in seeing the specific skills you have mastered as shown by the digital badges displayed on your personal website or LinkedIn page.

Micro-credentials are a form of certification that is narrowly focused on specific topics/skills in a chosen field. There are usually 2-4 designated courses that make up a micro-credential. Upon successful completion of the courses, students would receive a digital badge. A client may use the continuing education credits earned in a micro-credential to, if available, to transfer CEU’s earned towards a credit-bearing certificate or program. Transfer fees may apply.

The two formats act differently for their recipients. An Open Badge is focused on a small visual representation of an achievement that can be easily embedded in various places. A digital certificate is focused on clearly communicating the achievement in a recognized format.

For digital badges, you will receive an email with instructions on how to accept and share your digital badge. Certificates can be printed on your own within Destiny.

Depending on your course, your badge might not show up on this website. It might have instead been emailed to you from Credly. In this case, please check your email address that you have on file.
