What are QM Digital Credentials?

QM Digital Credentials provide official recognition of your QM roles and knowledge. They are awarded upon completion of select professional development workshops and courses. They are also awarded to those holding QM-Certified roles. QM Digital Credentials can be shared digitally, providing visibility of your QM achievements, and are backed with metadata that explains what the credential means, what it took to earn it and when it expires. This is especially beneficial today as many employers list QM experience or reference specific QM activity in job descriptions.

Find out which workshops and courses you have completed and which roles you hold by referencing your MyQM account. If you have completed a course/workshop or hold a role listed above, you will be issued a QM Digital Credential through Credly.  

For workshops and courses:
  • Log in to MyQM 
  • Navigate to My Activity and select Certificates
For QM roles:
  • Log in to MyQM 
  • Navigate to My Account and select Roles
  • If you do not see a role application available for the role, your role is “Approved” 
  • If you see the role application listed, ensure that your role status is “Approved” by completing the role application process

How do I claim my QM Digital Credentials?

Create an account with Credly (formerly Acclaim) using the same email address you use for your MyQM account. Your QM Digital Credentials will be sent to that email address, so using the same address is the best way to make sure you are notified and able to accept the credentials. You will receive an email from Credly for each credential.

If you already have a Credly account that uses an email address other than the one associated with your MyQM account, please read "Can I add multiple emails to my account?” and follow the instructions to add the email address associated with your MyQM account to your Credly account. 

QM encourages recipients to accept any earned QM Digital Credentials, but it is not mandatory. Certificates of Completion will continue to be available through MyQM accounts.

When will I receive my QM Digital Credential?

Newly earned digital credentials will be issued the day after either 1) a workshop participant is marked "complete" in MyQM or 2) a submitted role application is approved.

Who do I contact if I still have questions?
