Difference between Certification and Licensing
Certification is a non-governmental process of regulation within a community, profession, organization, occupation or a specialty within a profession. Certification is a voluntary process based on select eligibility set forth by the organization based on industry.
Licensing is a process established by a government agency granting eligibility to practice.
*All candidates are required to take the National Certification exam at a proctored test site. Exam information will be sent with your Home/Self Study Program.
