Certification vs. Certificate Both are valuable, it depends on what you want Certification Certification measures experience, knowledge and skill against a set of criteria and the assessment is carried out by a neutral, third party organization. Experience is required and is often the entry point. Certificate A certificate is usually obtained as a result of taking a course and possibly, passing an exam.
