Make your recognition visible

When your ETF credential is available, you can acccess through MyETF and use your badges, certificates and verified links to showcase your membership, professional status and achievements.

Access your credentials

Step 1

Sign in to MyETF using the email address associated with your ETF account.*

Step 2

Open your credentials area and select the credential you want to view.

Step 3

Access your badge, certificate and verified record.

*If you haven't set up MyETF, use the email address already linked to your ETF account or previous SET membership. If you no longer have access to that address, contact us for support.

Check your details

Before you share, check that:

✅ Your name is correct
✅ Your membership grade, status or achievement is accurate
✅ Relevant dates are shown correctly
✅ Your credential ID is visable

Your credential ID is unique to your record and should be quoted when contacting ETF about a correction or query.

Each certificate includes a unique credential ID, QR code and link to the live record. Anyone viewing the certificate can scan the QR code to verify the credential online.

*When printing your certificate, keep the QR code clear and unobstructed when printing or displaying your certificate.

Keep your recognition current

Some credentials depend on ongoing eligibility.

QTLS is not valid without active ETF membership. If your membership lapses, you are no longer entitled to use QTLS as a current professional recognition.

ATS requires active ETF membership to remain current and continue using the ATS post-nominal.

METF and FETF require you to hold the corresponding membership grade.

Holding a downloadable badge or printed certificate does not maintain the validity of recognition where ongoing requirements are no longer met.

If a credential is missing, check whether ETF has confirmed that is has been issued and that you are using the email linked to the relevant record.
