Professional certification is a process by which a person develops the knowledge, experience, and skills to perform a specific job. Once the individual completes a course of study, he or she receives a certificate earned by passing an exam that is accredited by an organization or association that monitors and upholds prescribed standards for the particular industry involved.
A wide variety of industries and careers offer professional certification, from highly technical jobs and human services of all kinds to jobs in the technical fields. In each case, the certificate assures employers, customers, students, and the public that the certificate holder is competent and professional.
