Display Treehouse track completion on LinkedIn?

I'm wondering if Treehouse provides some kind of online certificate similar to the ones given on Coursera to display on sites like LinkedIn. I don't want to display every little achievement, just the big ones like, "completed entire Ruby Development track". Is this something that Treehouse Provides?

Not at the moment as far as I'm aware. The nearest they offer is a Wordpress plugin for displaying badges. But this would certainly be interesting.

Is there an email address I could send a message to about this? I think as a feature this would be really valuable both to Treehouse itself and people who use Treehouse

I'd use the general support email help@teamtreehouse.com

I would really appreciate this feature also. Lynda offers it, and while I think their courses are great, Treehouse offers better laid out courses for Web Design/Dev work specifically. I would rather parade a Treehouse certificate/course completion number...

I reckon certification is only needed for completed Tracks, as that's something to be proud of, they take a lot of time and effort to get through them. The badges are nice and all, but when you have a bunch of them they kinda loose their significance.

Alexander;

I am not sure of the current status of something coming out of Treehouse with regards to this. A student and moderator, Riley Hilliard, made a great badges widget that can be utilized on your own site(s). You might take a look at that and see if it meets your needs outside of LinkedIn.
