Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Certification is usually granted by a certifying organization, which is a third-party entity that evaluates and verifies the professional's knowledge, skills, and abilities based on a set of established standards. This process is usually independent of the professional's employer or any particular IT professional organization to which they may belong. While some certifications may be recognized by national boards of certification, this is not necessarily a requirement for certification to be valid.
