What is Certification ? |
| |
- Certification refers to the confirmation of certain characteristics of an object, person, or organization.
- This confirmation is often, but not always, provided by some form of external review, education, or assessment.
- One of the most common types of certification in modern society is professional certification, where a person is certified as being able to competently complete a job or task, usually by the passing of an examination/test.
- Certification does not refer to the state of legally being able to practice or work in a profession. That is licensure.
- Usually, licensure is administered by a governmental entity for public protection purposes and certification by a professional association.
- However, they are similar in that they both require the demonstration of a certain level of knowledge or ability.
- Qualification is historical fact but Certification with validity period reflects the current state of knowledge and skill.
- Another form of certification is that of an organisation based on its codified system of conducting its activities using all resources in a manner which conforms to approved standards to assure consistent quality in delivery of product or services.
