Gentle reminder: A CERTIFICATE of completion of a training/course is different from a CERTIFICATION

Certifications: awarded by chartered professional institutes
Certificates: regular courses offline or online.

Seen it misused on CVs, Twitter & LinkedIn, please don’t mix it up.
Ok let me give examples:

An accounting certification can be awarded by Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria(ICAN) or Association of Chartered Certified Accountants(ACCA), etc

While accounting certificates can be gotten at training academies, online, etc. eg, coursera
Eg Project Management. You can have a CERTIFICATE in Project Management, by taking courses at any center or online, but not be CERTIFIED, ie not have the CERTIFICATION. That one is issued by Project Management Institute (PMI) or Prince 2.

It’s best to separate them on your CVs
