42 Digital certificates & badges
At 42, students develop a wide range of technical and interpersonal skills as they progress through structured levels of expertise. Upon completing their studies, students achieve a final level that reflects their unique competencies, with the option to supplement their skills with RNCP certifications —state-certified qualifications recognized across France and Europe (availability varies by campus).
To support our Alumni in showcasing their achievements, 42 has partnered with Credly, a global leader in digital credentials. Alumni and RNCP-certified individuals can access verified digital badges and certificates that provide detailed insights into their competencies. These digital credentials can be instantly verified by recruiters, employers, and government agencies, ensuring credibility and transparency in hiring and administrative processes.

VERIFYING 42 DIGITAL CERTIFICATEs
1. Certificate sharing
Alumni or RNCP certificate holders can share their digital certificates directly (ex. to a recruiter or employer).
Note: For privacy reasons, 42 cannot share certificates with third parties. Verification requests should be directed to the certificate holder.
2. VERIFICATION PROCESS
The verifier scans the QR code embedded on the certificate.
3. Authentication
The QR code link leads to a page displaying the certificate holder's details. If the first name, last name, and date of birth on this page match those on the certificate, it confirms authenticity. This page also offers comprehensive information on the skills acquired.
