body, such as ACE, grants a time-limited
recognition and use of a credential to individuals
who have demonstrated that they have met the
criteria for required knowledge, skills, or
competencies for safe and effective practice in a
specific job role. A renewal process is associated
with certification that requires the certificant to
obtain continued education, or in some fields pass
a re-certification exam, in order to retain the
credential. The credential awarded by the certifier
denotes that the participant possess particular
knowledge, skills, and/or competencies to practice
in the profession.
Certificates Education or training program on a specific topic
for which participants receive a certificate after
attendance and/or completion of the coursework.
Some programs also require successful
demonstration of attainment of the course
objectives, such as a post-course assessment of
knowledge or practical demonstration. One who
completes a certificate program is known as a
certificate holder. Importantly, a professional
certification (or license) is usually not granted at
the completion of a certificate program. There are
primary three types of certificate programs:
knowledge-based, curriculum-based, and
certificate of completion or participation.
