Gallagher Security expands Digital Badge Programme

Issue 2 2025 News & Events, Access Control & Identity Management, Training & Education

Gallagher Security has announced the expansion of their Digital Badge programme across APAC IMEA. Following a successful launch and roll out across Australia and Papua New Guinea in 2023, Gallagher announced its Digital Badge programme is now available to channel partners and end users across the rest of APAC IMEA.

Working via Credly, a global solution for recognising skills, capabilities, and achievements, the Gallagher Digital programme awards verified badges to channel partners and end users who complete Gallagher training courses, enabling them to showcase their skills and celebrate their achievements.

Gallagher Security training manager, Asia Pacific and India, Middle East, and Africa (APAC and IMEA) Danielle Mitchell says, “We are excited to bring this recognition programme to technicians and end users across APAC IMEA. It’s a great way to celebrate their hard work and commitment to learning and development, while showing how Gallagher is here to support them every step of the way.”

Digital badges work as an electronic representation of achievement that is visual, available online and embedded with metadata that provides context, meaning, and the result of an activity. They are easy to manage, verified in real-time, and able to be shared online.

All badges are verified by Gallagher Security and contain information that describes training course participants’ qualifications, and the process required to earn them. Gallagher digital badges are earned by completing one of Gallagher’s participating channel partner or end user training courses.

The technology Credly uses is based on the Open Badge Standards maintained by IMS Global. This enables you to manage, share and verify your competencies digitally.

“The expansion of the Digital Badge programme demonstrates our continued commitment to delivering world-class training and workplace development opportunities that empower our channel partners and end users, regardless of where they are located,” says Mitchell.

Last year, 3200 channel partners and end users were trained across APAC IMEA, and the Digital Badge programme now offers them a powerful way to showcase their expertise and enhance their industry credibility.
