skill.\u00a0 However, it is this commitment that makes the certification valuable.\u00a0 To pass any certification exam, a mix of practical and book knowledge is required.\u00a0 Because exams are written, the book knowledge is more heavily gauged.\u00a0 In earning and keeping the certification, one works constantly on the practical knowledge and its application.\u00a0 That work makes the long ago earned, but still valid, certification more valuable the newly minted one.\u00a0 A certificate on the other hand, is earned one time.\u00a0 The skill may be built upon, but there is no tracking of continuing education or use.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I believe that certifications are important because of the commitment that one makes when obtaining and keeping that certification.\u00a0 Even when I search for a provider to care for my pet, I am more inclined to interview someone who has joined a professional organization, and gained certification.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not that I think scooping litter requires a skilled and tested individual.\u00a0 But if I am going to trust the health and well being of one of my family members to a relative stranger, I want to know that they are as committed to my little guy&#8217;s health and well being as I am.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de7d551
