A certificate is proof of qualification of a certain set of skills. Students who obtain a certificate have completed educational requirements and tests. Through completion, they become ready to pursue a degree or diploma, or to head into the professional world in their field of expertise.

El aprendizaje a tiempo parcial permite obtener un título o una cualificación incluso si no se puede asistir a la escuela a tiempo completo. Uno puede aprender a su propio ritmo, acumulando gradualmente créditos que cuentan para una calificación final.
