About The NADSP E-Badge Academy

With E-Badges through the online platform Web Courseworks, DSPs and their supervisors can submit specific examples, experience, and education that highlights their achievements and contributions to human services. Human service organizations can establish administrative accounts, while users can upload testimonials of their accomplishments for review by NADSP, and then share the resulting E-Badges with others. As badges are accumulated, each user is also working toward meeting the requirements for NADSP’s voluntary, national certifications.

How does it all work?

NADSP has produced an in-depth presentation video about The NADSP E-Badge Academy, which includes detailed information about what the E-Badge Academy is, why it’s important, and how it helps direct support professionals get credit for competency.

The video also shares a demonstration of the Web Courseworks platform, the E-Badge submission/review process, and the use of ‘Mozilla Backpack’ for sharing E-Badges. You’ll also learn about the specific steps for getting started with The NADSP E-Badge Academy.

“The NADSP E-Badge Academy has built confidence within myself professionally and provided a sense of achievement.”
