A Certification Program is a program that certifies that an individual has met special qualifications within a field. The end result of a Certification Program may be to earn a professional certificate, continuing education units (CEUs), or a professional designation (e.g., Certified Public Accountant). Add a Certification Program after you have added Courses and Exams, but before you add Certificants.
