# What is an IBM Digital Badge?

IBM’s z Systems Digital Badges are secure, web-enabled credentials which contain verified information and metadata describing the qualification they relate to and the rigorous process necessary to obtain it. They are awarded when an individual demonstrates knowledge/the ability to perform the skills they relate to. They tend to be awarded for a particular subject or skill area, for example, Foundations in RACF, Expert in RACF, Experienced in RACF.

The average digital badge consists of four courses and will take around 10 to 12 hours to complete.
