How to confirm that you are a professional in a particular field? Successful experience, the result of the interview, the recommendation of colleagues - all this is subjective. The principle works in academic circles: a panel of professionals should check your knowledge and confirm your expertise. This is how getting a doctoral degree works - a panel of experts (other doctors of science) will listen to you and give their verdict. In the business environment, a similar approach operates, but instead of an academic institution, there is a certain organization that accredits experts according to its criteria. As a rule, these are certain requirements for experience, higher education, passing special training, and passing a test, exam, interview, or evaluation by a commission.
Certification, as a rule, is based on a certain standard, or body of knowledge, and obtaining a certificate is only a confirmation that you have mastered the knowledge, a common vocabulary, an arsenal of best practices, and the ability to avoid common mistakes (although you can’t do without them).
