Question 9 • Medical Occupations A

What is the difference between a certification and a license?

Answer

Certifications give people specific privileges to enhance their careers and licenses are more general.

Certifications and licenses are not different because they both show that a person has completed advanced training.

Certifications reflect a person’s skills and knowledge and licenses give people special privileges.

Certifications only apply to biomedical careers and licenses apply to all medical professional careers.

Explanation

A certification recognizes that someone has demonstrated particular skills or knowledge, often by meeting training or testing requirements. A license is government authorization to perform certain work or use a protected professional title, so it grants legal privileges; therefore, “Certifications reflect a person’s skills and knowledge and licenses give people special privileges” is correct.
