Do I have to get the Custodian Badge to be custodian for students?
No, you don’t need a custodian badge to accept booking from students. However, custodians with such badges rank higher than yours and get more exposure to the students. More exposure leads to a better chance of getting booked. Without the badge, students may consider your custodian is not qualified by Homadorma standards.
