What are Digital Credentials?

Digital Credentials are sharable badges and certificates that can signal instructors, classmates, and future employers to your mastery of Microsoft Office applications. There are a number of different types of credentials to earn in SIMnet. You can view the list of available Digital Credentials or view the application pathway collections .

How do I earn Digital Credentials with SIMnet?

SIMnet provides two types of Digital Credentials: completion based Badges and achievement based Certificates.

1. Completion based Badges

Completion based Badges are earned in the by completing all of the Let Me Try activities in an application set.

  • White Belt credentials are earned by completing all of the Office level content in a SIMbook. Students in introductory courses may be able to earn 4 White Belt credentials.

  • Purple Belt credentials are earned by completing all of the Advanced level content in a SIMbook. Students in advanced courses may be able to earn 4 Purple Belt credentials.

Note: Your instructor can change the required activity from the Let Me Try to the Show Me or Guide Me. Typically this would only be done if you have specific accessibility requirements. Please visit the for details.

Note: Your instructor needs to assign credentialed Projects and Exams for you to earn the Yellow and Black belt credentials.

Note: Your instructor can increase the minimum score from the 90% minimum to earn a credential.

To earn a Yellow Belt, complete a Project attempt and score 90% or higher. Credentialed assignments contain a blue ribbon icon in the assignment list.

Once you complete the requirements to earn a Digital Credential SIMnet will issue your Badge or Certificate and send you an email with additional instructions on how to share and interact with your Digital Credential. You can also click the share icon in the Digital Credential in SIMnet to access your collection of Digital Credentials.
