Take Classes, Earn Badges

With each badge you earn, you increase your credentials, your experiences, and your opportunities!

Through completing groups of courses, students can earn four different "badges," all of which add up to the "Complete Musician Program"

Upon completion of each badge, students get a custom certificate, signed by the instructor, indicating which badges they have completed so far. In addition, the completion of each badge can be used on a resume or profile to show completion of a larger series of work - not just a single class.

FAQ

What Does the Badge Look Like?

Here is a certificate that shows that name, "July Johnson", and it shows she has completed the Ableton and Music Theory Badges.

How Can I Use This on My Resume?

There are a number of ways, but the most common would be to list it under "Education" or "Certifications."

If you completed all four badges, the best way to list it on a resume would be under education, like this:

Complete Musician Program (Music Production, Ableton Live, Music Theory, and Composition), Punkademic Courses Online, [date completed]

If you only completed one, two, or three badged, the best way would be like this:

Online Music Education Courses: Ableton Live and Music Theory Badges Completed. Punkademic Courses Online [date completed]

Is This Like an Accredited Degree?

The term "badge" in academic circles is gaining traction, and one that colleges are becoming familiar with. Many universities are offering "badge" programs, similar to this, in which someone can earn something smaller than a full degree, but more than a single course.

This is not a college degree, but it shows that you've worked hard at something, and stuck with something for a significant amount of time. That can be valuable to show to a future employer or a future college.

How Do I Get My Badge?

Once you have finished all the courses in your badge program, submit the form above. That will generate an email to Punkademic, and we will reply with your badge, and any necessary information. Make sure your name appears exactly how you want it to on the badge when you fill out the form.

The official badge will be sent to you as a PDF file. You can, if you want, print it and frame it. It will be a full-color file, designed for an 8.5x11in page.

The most affordable way to achieve any of the badges, is through our subscription program. That will give you access to all of the courses on this website for a low monthly rate. If you don't do that, you will need to purchase each course separately.
