   Thanks for the kind words! The feedback is much apprecaited too. It's currently used largely as a learning tracking tool by our beta community (we intend to launch the open beta early Q1 2014!). We started to focus on the employer side

   We think that focusing on startup (and smaller company) jobs should tend to avoid this type of requirement as they are generally much more flexible and open-minded when it comes to job application format requirements and generally want to s

    We haven't decided to specifically focus on mobile, although one neat use case we had in mind was that an Accredible narrative might be a great thing to take into an in-person interview with you on a mobile or tablet and then using tha

    That's exactly the idea! We wanted to create a way to back up the claims you make about yourself. The idea originally actually came from a big interest in MOOCs and self-education. We wanted to create a way to be able to use this kind

    Thanks! This feedback is super useful for honing our wording. The idea is that you create narratives around each of your key competencies/skills (e.g. programming, design, customer service) - each consisting of cards that outline speci

    Thanks - we are still trying to figure out the best way to describe this. We'll work on updating the copy to better reflect that :)

    Thanks for the feedback! We are hoping to make it easier for people to be able to show their personality and passions and to tailor their job applications to each opportunity by making it quick and easy to create a narrative as to why they&

    I'm part of the latest cohort (co-founder, www.accredible.com) and I have found the programme to be enormously valuable. If you're starting an edtech company it's definitely worth going for. Really excited about the new format for the next

    Hey, co-founder here. Well put! That's pretty much our vision here; we want people to be able to self-certify their knowledge/learning/expertise by uploading proof of learning onto the certificate itself for all to see - the learning itself
