 <p>In a nutshell, a license is issued by a government authority and is legally required to practice in a field or hold a certain title. Certification is voluntary, serving as a reassurance to your peers and clients that you meet specific qualifications.</p>
 <p>That&rsquo;s why within your group of friends you could call your friend Steve a &ldquo;certified nutcase&rdquo; for doing crazy stunts and disregarding his safety despite numerous injuries. He gets recognition from peers who feel they have enough expertise to know a nutcase when they see one. But he doesn&rsquo;t need official approval or permission to keep doing what he does.</p>

 <p>Any smart and dedicated person using exam preparation techniques could pass the test itself after a relatively short preparation period. That&rsquo;s why there&rsquo;s an &ldquo;experience gate&rdquo; on most recognized certifications – anyone who sees them on your CV would know that not only do you have the brains and dedication to pass the test, but also years of experience to back it up.</p>
 <p>On the other hand, even with your work experience, you need to understand what kind of questions the test will be asking and be sure you&rsquo;re equipped for answering them. This could range from skimming through the exam outline to making a half-year study plan. So, by putting the credential on your CV you confirm that not only do you have years of working in a certain role, but you learned a lot from it and are committed to improving your knowledge</p>

 <p>Check who they are, their history, their values.
