Elizabeth, NJ (Aug. 1, 2017) — Metrofuser, a leading global innovator, re-manufacturer and marketer of printer solutions announced the companies printer repair certification is now Backed By Digital credentials.
Certification Backed by Digital Credentials
Digital credentials/certification, also known as open badges, are the newest way for professionals to share their achievements and skills in the marketplace. You can share your credential on your email signature, LinkedIn profile, Facebook page, website, blog or another platform. Anyone who views it may click on it and be brought to a customized, individual verification page, which confirms who the credential was issued to, when it was issued, what was involved in earning it, and what it qualifies the earner to do.
When someone completes one of our printer service courses and meet the requirements they earn a Digital Credential, essentially a badge icon with our logo and the name of the course.
The secret sauce here is that each Credential has unique code embedded in it. Technicians and Support personnel can place these Credentials on their email signatures, LinkedIn pages, blogs, websites, or Facebook pages. Anyone who clicks on it is brought to a secure Verification Page, which lists the person’s name, the date they earned it, what coursework they studied, and what it qualifies them to do.
Benefits to the Credential Earner
For the person who earns the Credential, the benefits are obvious: just about anyone you come into digital contact with can learn a great deal about what skills you’ve mastered, with a single click. When that in-house executive sees the level of detail of a given course you’ve completed, they’ll know right away that what you do can’t be accomplished by a secretary:
- Identity Verification ensures credibility and authenticity;
- Shareability and Marketable- Share achievements on Facebook, LinkedIn, Onforce.com, Workmarket.com, Fieldnation.com, FieldSolutions.com and others;
- Evidence and testimonials substantiate achievement;
- Highly accessible; anyone with access to the internet or a mobile device can earn and receive their credentials digitally;
- Secure and Authentic: Metrofuser’s Digital Badges are created through a Yardstick’s T2 platform that utilizes the best digital credentialing architecture in the industry and adheres to and is fully Mozilla OpenBadge compliant. When the Digital Badge is clicked on, it brings the user BACK to the issuing web site, displaying the authenticity of the badge for proper verification.
Benefits to the Companies that Outsource Service
For the employer, aside from instant verification, it gives them the ability to quickly see if the material mastered is the right match for their job opening, whether full time or freelance.
If you’re a service company looking to hire someone or subcontract work outside your service area, seeing that a candidate earned their credentials on a particular model tells you they covered high mortality parts, engine specific troubleshooting, maintenance, resets, and disassembly/reassembly and backed by the technical support department of a world class parts manufacturer.
For a corporate recruiter looking for an HP technician that can add printers to a network, the HP Network Printer Communications credential shows you the person learned about driver and firmware installation procedures, NVRAM resets, flash and memory installation, common error code resolutions and TCP/IP network configurations and more. The point is, they can easily see if what you know fits what they need.
Upcoming Training Dates: Sept. 11-15, Elizabeth, NJ; Oct. 16-20, Santa Ana, CA; Dec. 4-8, Elizabeth, NJ.
