What’s the difference between levels and badges?

Written by Lisa D

A badge represents a verified credential and comes in two types: Teaching Badges and Credential Badges. Teaching Badges, such as CYT3, reflect your current teaching level and are displayed under your name. Credential Badges indicate the specific training programs you have completed, such as a Level 1 Credential Badge for a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) or a Level 2 Credential Badge for a 300-hour YTT.

Levels serve distinct purposes depending on badge type: Teaching Badge Levels reflect your current teaching status and expertise, such as Level 3 for advanced teaching qualifications. Credential Badge Levels represent verified training programs you have completed, such as Level 1 for a 200-hour YTT or Level 2 for a 300-hour YTT.
