WHAT IS
certification?
Certification is a formal agreement accompanied by a written guarantee that an individual possesses special skills or knowledge, aligning with established requirements, standards, or regulations. This certification is issued by agencies or companies as evidence of a person's proficiency within the company, often detailing the activities they have undertaken.
In a company, certification is an investment in its employees, reflecting the company's appreciation for their performance and contributing to the overall development of the business.
One of the most common forms of certification in modern society is professional certification. Individuals receive certification as a recognition of their competence to successfully complete a specific task or assignment, typically demonstrated through passing an examination or completing a designated program of study. Some professional certifications also necessitate gaining work experience in a related field before certification is granted. While some certifications are valid for a lifetime upon meeting all requirements, others expire after a specified period and need to be maintained through ongoing education and/or testing.
