Certificate VS Certification - Do you know the difference?

26 May 2022 Certificate VS Certification - Do you know the difference?

What is a Digital Marketing Certification?

Certification recognises that you’ve taken a series of classes and passed an exam on the course material. Certified courses can be in-depth, covering a range of topics. Your certification may in some instances only remain valid for a set amount of time before you need to recertify. Bear in mind that certifications can cost more because they are more in-depth than certificates, and you may have to pay a fee to take the exam.


What are Certificates?

Here is where it may get a little confusing. When you complete your certification exam or assessment, you will be issued a printed certificate or digital certificate and a digital badge in some cases. However, you can also be issued a certificate when you complete a course, which usually covers a single topic. They are issued upon completion without an exam, so it may not be a reflection of merit. This does not discount their value if you learn something useful.

With such a vast difference between Certification and Certificate, it is always in your advantage to get certified in digital marketing as employers are increasingly in need of certified digital marketers to help them grow their online presence.
