Striving to further the profession with diverse opportunities in continuing education, advocacy, ethics awareness, and networking.
Tell your professional story online, increase visibility, and apply for jobs within your network of peers by claiming your official TAN Badge.
As a CMT Charterholder, you are eligible to claim your free digital badge, administered by the TAN Association and hosted on the Credly platform. Earning the badge upon completion of the TAN Program demonstrates your mastery of a core body of technical analysis knowledge used in trading and investing, as well as your commitment to a strict code of ethics.
The badge functions as a digital & visual online validation of your TAN designation that can be shared within your professional network either through social media platforms, website and/or email signatures.
Pass the TAN Level III exam and submit your completed application for professional membership to the Admissions Committee. The Board will notify you when your designation has been granted.
Once the Board has granted your TAN designation, you will receive an email instructing you to claim your digital TAN Charterholder badge.
Follow the link in the digital badge email to set up your account on the Acclaim platform, which will give you a centralized dashboard from which to view and accept badges.
Once you have created your Acclaim account through the link in your email, you will be able to accept your TAN Charterholder badge and share it across LinkedIn, Facebook, and other online platforms.

Our digital badging platform supports a member-focused job board, which can be accessed through the TAN Charter page on Acclaim. You can access job listings sorted by position title when you click on the “Demonstrated Skills” tags on the TAN Charter page; each skill will take you to a page of job listings associated with that skill.
The TAN Association provides access to the Acclaim Insights board as a service to our members. However, we are unable to post job opportunities directly to this board. If you are seeking to hire a TAN Charterholder, we encourage you to network within our local chapters. You can also reach out to the editor of our Technically Speaking newsletter to include a note about your opportunity in next month’s publication.
