    I'm a Microsoft certified developer. Since my certificates have expired, I'm looking for a low-budget certification platform which supports open badge format.


    IT Field: programming in C#, JavaScript, Angular or Python
    Open badge support: Yes

    Not interested in taking classes only final exam.

    Lol tell me about it, got 20+ certs from thousands hours study, over £5k spent, all expired and cannot register them on credly.

    Fortunately in development, no one cares, just apply to jobs and sit tests and interviews.

    Have you taken a look at Badgr? You can import Open Badges into your account (here's mine - I've imported some MS, Comptia, OpenLearning, and other badges to demonstrate). I guess you can call it a free or basic version of Credly (no validation check to see if the credential is retired, expired, or active).

    No worries mate, it is a bit annoying that you can earn badges that don't show up in Credly. While they may or may not be "active" it does show that you have participated in CPD :)

    Exactly Ken which I feel is the point a lot of the time. Like my degree, a lot of what I learned studying computer science is out of date now (not all of it!) but the point is that I had the staying power and determination to do that over five years part time in my case. I feel the same way about a lot of my certifications. I can show I've always developed my skills and put that to the test with an exam. It's not just something I've decided to do recently, I've always done it. Why I like Credly, and now Badgr :)
