Comment (by dd32):

 Are all of these badges '''needed'''?

 > WP Credits Mentor – reps or mentors guiding students (#8329E3)

 Is this a 'Has been a mentor before' or 'Is currently a mentor'?

 > WP Credits Institution – partner institutions (#8329E3)

 Is it expected that institutions have a "brand account"/"company account"?
 This badge seems like one that wouldn't actually be utilised by many, and
 would offer limited benefit. Similarly, 5FTF companies don't have
 badges/etc.

 > WP Credits Enrolled – students who enrolled in the program (#D547F2)
 > WP Credits Graduate – students who successfully completed the program
 (#AE47F2)

 Generally, Badges are earned and not removed, it would be strange to have
 both Enrolled/Graduated badges, so it'd be a case of remove-enrolled-add-
 graduated I guess?

 I hate to say it, but it may also encourage ''some'' people to attempt to
 enroll just to get the badge without any intention of furthering. I would
 personally suggest that this should just be a singular `WP Credits
 Graduate` badge.
