    SFIA

    The SFIA Framework is the global common reference for skills and competency for the digital world.

    This APMG certification has been informally mapped against the SFIA Framework to indicate the skills that are addressed and referenced by the certification. Although it is not yet possible to claim this digital badge, the indicative skills can be used to plan your professional development through assessing the skills you have and the skills you need for the role you want.

    If you received your AXELOS qualification before this time, you can contact customer service and upon providing your candidate number, ask if a copy of your certificate still exists in our system. 

    Alternatively, you can reach out to IT PeopleCert directly with this request quoting your candidate number.  

    If you do not have your candidate number, we can provide it to you. Additionally, we are happy to provide a letter of verification for any exams sat with us.

    When you pass an exam – you will instantly have the option to claim a digital badge as representation of your new certificate. Your badge can be embedded on an email signature, website, digital CV, or shared via LinkedIn.  

    Access the downloadable guide for more information on how to claim your digital badge.

    You can always access all your records, electronic certificates and badges via the APMG Candidate Portal.  

    Once you have logged on to the Candidate Portal, click on the ‘Badges and Certificates’ option from the menu bar at the top of screen. From here you should click on the ‘Create Badge/Certificate’ button. This will take you to the Credly platform to create an account and download your badge and certificate. 

    Step-by-step guidance is available to download from the ‘Badges and Certificates’ area in your Candidate Portal. 

    Electronic certificates are environmentally friendly, but you can print the certificate yourself at home or work, if required. 

    If you have any problems you are welcome to contact our customer service team.  

    If you previously sat an exam with us and were issued a paper certificate but would like to upgrade to a digital badge and e-certificate, please contact us. There is a £25 administration fee for providing a digital badge and a form for which you will need to complete to consent to your personal information being used in order to manually create the badge in Credly.com.

    If your exam is booked through a Training Organization, and they are proctoring your exam over a platform of their choosing, you will need reach out to them directly to discuss options to reschedule.  

    If your exam is with ProctorU, you can reschedule without additional charges as many times as you wish up to 24 hours prior to your booked slot. If you reschedule within this 24-hour period, you will need to pay the £38 reschedule fee, as we will still be charged by ProctorU for your slot.

    You can merge your account by logging into your candidate portal with your initial email address and click on your name at the top.
