What's the difference between a Certification and Certificate?
What is a Certification?
A certification is an affordable way to demonstrate professional creditability. A true certification is issued from an accrediting third party, requires pre-qualifications and requires continuing education in order to maintain ones certification credentials. (ie. CAS)
What is a Certificate? Certificate programs do not have the same recognition as a certification. This is because they are a one time training module that anyone can enroll in and do not require continued education. Certificate programs can typically be attended to renew a certification or license.
