We have started issuing Open Badges.

Issued to students graduating this spring

We have decided to issue open badges to those who have completed our Japanese language teacher training course, those who have completed our training course for social educator/social education officer qualifications, and those who have completed the SOKA Select Pack.

What is an Open Badge?
It is a digital proof of knowledge, skills, and experience that is issued according to globally common technical standards. Many open badges are issued by universities, certification organizations, and global IT companies, mainly in Europe and the United States, and are also issued by various organizations in Japan.
Open badges are awarded as data and can be managed in your own personal "Open Badge Wallet."
The open badges you receive can be published and shared in email signatures, electronic resumes, on social media, etc., and can be used to showcase and endorse your skills.

For further details, please see the website of the Open Badge Network General Incorporated Foundation.
