You must have completed training and attained a specific level of knowledge in the field of work in order to quaify to receive the recognition. It is a distinction that sets you apart from others, an accomplishment you can be proud to have attained.
Many professional certifications and licenses have been evaluated for college credit. Some of these were evaluated by the American Council on Education, while others were reviewed through Institutional Evaluation by colleges and universities across the nation. These include computer certifications, from user-level program training (e.g., MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) to the most advanced computer network certifications (Cisco, Novell, MS Certified System Engineer, etc.). Many public service certifications have also been evaluated (EMT/Paramedic, Firefighter, Police Officer, Corrections, etc.).
