4. Enter your details:

5. Add our Alumni Badge (recommended): In the Media area of the entry, click Add media and upload our badge image to make your credential stand out. Right-click the transparent badge below, save the image, then upload it.
6. Save: Review for accuracy and click Save. Your credential is now visible to your whole network!
