HISTORICALLY
In the 1870s and due to the absence of medical licensing laws in most states during the years following the American Civil War made it possible for unscrupulous individuals to exploit the weak oversight and unregulated state issuance of school charters as a result, thousands of doubtful earned diplomas were issued and that affected and damaged the professions and the quality of life itself.

THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN CERTIFICATION AND CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS
Certification is a voluntary process by which a non-governmental body grants time-limited recognition and use of a credential to individuals who have demonstrated that they have met predetermined and standardized criteria for required knowledge, skills, or competencies. To retain the credential, certificants must meet requirements for renewal. The credential awarded by the certifying organization denotes that the participant possesses particular knowledge, skills, or competencies.
ASSESSMENT-BASED CERTIFICATE
An Assessment-Based Certificate Program is a non-degree granting program that provides education/training to participants to aid them in acquiring specific knowledge, skills, and/or competencies associated with intended learning outcomes, evaluates participants’ accomplishment of the intended learning outcomes, and awards a certificate only to those participants who meet the performance, proficiency or passing standard for the assessment.
