One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” And they left their nets at once and followed him. A little farther up the shore he saw two other brothers, James and John, sitting in a boat with their father, Zebedee, repairing their nets. And he called them to come, too. They immediately followed him, leaving the boat and their father behind.
~ Matthew 4:18-22 NLT

Internship & Certification

Understanding Certification

Certification is a term with many uses and many misunderstood meanings. There are two major types of certifications those that qualify individuals and those that qualify products and/or production processes.

The various professions and trades that exist in the United States and Canada operate certification programs of many different stripes to qualify individuals. These programs have evolved overtime, and as each evolves, other programs learn from the successes and mistakes. This has had the effect of creating a uniform understanding of what “certification” means in the arena of qualifying professional credentials.

The primary purpose of any certification program is to provide a uniform standard to protect the public by defining high professional standards of practice. Current certification programs exist in almost all occupations. Each has its own unique characteristics, but most have these components:

  • Some type of required education in the field
  • Some amount of practical experience in the field
  • A test of knowledge, skills and abilities within the field
  • Payment of fees to maintain active status in a certification program
  • Requirements for continued learning throughout a professionals career
  • Acceptance of a Code of Professional Ethics
  • Adherence to program policies that deal with reasons for certificate revocation, suspension, appeals and reinstatements.
