Certification badges

Wedding Professional Certification Badges

Every course you finish earns a badge, and every level you reach earns a new one. It's the little circle that tells couples, venues and employers you've done the training, and it's yours to show off everywhere they look.

Badges by level

A new badge every time you level up

Finish a course and your Certified badge is yours. Keep working weddings and collecting reviews, and you'll trade it up for Certified Specialist, then Certified Expert, so your badge always matches the experience behind it.

Where your badge does the most work

Think about the last time you hired someone for your own event; you probably looked them up before you ever reached out. Couples, venues and hiring managers do the same thing, so put your badge right where they're already looking.

Your website

Add it to your About page, your footer or right beside your bio. A couple comparing three coordinators late at night is going to notice the one who's certified.

LinkedIn

List your certification in the Licenses & Certifications section of your profile, then share the badge in a post about a skill you've used on a real wedding day. Venues and planning companies look there when they're hiring.

Your resume

Put it under certifications with the course name and your level, and add the badge if there's room for a small graphic. It's an easy way to stand out when someone's skimming twenty applications.

Taking this course helped me feel more confident about my skills and how to run a wedding rehearsal and wedding day. It also helped me see myself doing this job and excelling at it!
