Build Badges With Confidence
The Only Digital Badging Platform with Built-In Quality Assurance
Quality Asurance Trusted by:
Building trust is hard
Most badge platforms focus on distribution, not quality. They'll help you create and share badges - but they won't help you ensure those badges are worth sharing.
The Problem
With AI Creating Badges is now easy
We should know we built the worlds first AI badge writer!
But most badge platforms focus on distribution, not quality.
They'll help you create and share badges
but they won't help you ensure those badges are worth sharing.
We think
Without quality assurance, badges risk becoming “participation trophies”
– nice, but not respected by the people who matter most.
“In a recent international survey we found
85% of workers said quality-assured
micro-credentials improved their ability to secure work..”
Stuart Martin International Quality Assurance Expert
The Navigatr Difference
Four Layers of Trust
1. Visual Framework - Instant Clarity
Our unique badge shapes and shading communicate at a glance:
2. Quality Assurance Mark - Verified Learning Outcomes
Assured to - Bronze, Silver or Gold
Your badges, verified.
Badges with the QA Mark have been rigorously checked for:
1. Clear Purpose – clarity for learners and their audience
2. Sound Design – accurate and meaningful learning outcomes
3. Quality Review – systematic checks for trusted quality
4. External Validation – third-party credibility where relevant
5. Real-World Testing – proven with learners before full release
The QA Mark verifies what the badge represents, not just that it exists.
3. Endorsements
Third Party Validation
Add weight to your credentials with endorsements from employers, professional bodies, or educational institutions. Show that your badges aren't just created by you - they're valued by others.
Real Issuers only
Every badge issuer on Navigatr displays a verification tick, confirming we've checked they're a legitimate organisation. No fake badges. No dubious credentials. Just real learning from real organisations.

“This innovative approach to quality assurance gives us both the rigour and the freedom we need to recognise all skills consistently. Crucially, it provides employers with an essential additional layer of trust in the validity and reliability of the digital badge. Brilliant!!”
Cameron King - Employment and Skills Programme Lead Kingston Council
"The peer review process really works – having someone else present your badge back to you gives you a completely different perspective. Hugely valuable."
Fran Wilby Curriculum & Assessment Lead, Rethinking Assessment
"Looking at badges we'd created two years ago, the QA checklist immediately showed us what we'd missed. The peer review spotted things we'd never noticed – like unclear assessment criteria. That's feedback I can take straight back to the team."
Ivan Barnett Project manager Bradford City Council
Whats different about Navigatr
Most digital badging platforms are in the distribution business. We're in the quality business.
Other platforms verify that a badge was issued and is authentic - that's verification, not quality assurance.
Navigatr goes deeper, We ensure the badge accurately represents learning, aligns with frameworks, has clear outcomes, and meets recognised standards.
The result? Badges that employers trust, learners value, and your organisation can be proud of.
