What is the difference between a certificate and a certification?
The primary difference between a certificate and a certification lies in their purpose and process. A certificate is typically awarded for completing a training course or educational program and serves as proof of participation or attendance.
On the other hand, a certification is awarded after successfully passing a rigorous exam that tests specific skills and knowledge. Certifications demonstrate professional competency and are often based on recognized industry standards, like ISO 17024.
AKYLADE certifications focus on validating skills through exams developed and reviewed by industry experts, ensuring credibility and relevance. AKYLADE's certifications are built in compliance with ISO 17024 and are designed to ensure candidates meet industry-recognized competencies.
