TopQore Community Badges

Since 2021 TopQore has introduced a community badges program. This is to encourage tech community members to learn new things outside of the official training and learning paths. These are often related to attending webinars and on-site events.

Below we will introduce you to the badge chart and explain below how this is setup and what incentives or gifts are included:

TopQore Community Presenter – This badge is issued to presenters of TopQore Community webinars or co-presenters at on-site presentations. This Presenter badge plus 2 Event badges will also lead to the Community Scholar badge.

How to obtain the TopQore Event Badges?

One of the most important sources are the webinars we host. Check out our TopQore Webinars page for more information about past and upcoming events and webinars. It contains information about the webinars, but often there are also recordings you can register for and gain badges for those as well.

What is needed for us to issue a badge?

A badge is issued to a person based on Name (First name, Last name), and their e-mail address. This is why we ask for this information upon registering for an event or for watching a recording. For some events we will issue badges also to active viewers of a recording. Just registering for a webinar and not attending is not enough.

We are using the “badgr” platform to issue badges which are conform to the OpenBadges standards. This means the conform to standards and can often be opened from another badges backpack you may have in another platform already.
