A certification, or qualification, is a designation earned by a person, product or process.
Certification may be a synonym for licensure but more often licensure applies
only to persons and is required by law (whereas certification is generally voluntary). Certification of persons indicates that
the individual has a specific knowledge, skills, or abilities in the view of the certifying body. Similarly, certification of
products indicates their reputed suitability for a specified purpose (i.e., a computer system might be certified as being fully
compatible with a large software package).
