Certification, Certificate, Diploma, and Degree: What's the Difference?Certification, Certificate, Diploma, and Degree: What's the Difference?Written by: Shaminda Perera, MEAE | On November 6, 2018 Certification Vs. CertificateOften used interchangeably in conversation and often confused, these two terms have two very different meanings. While a certification is an endorsement of competence of professional practice, a certificate is focused on recognizing the accomplishment of a learning outcome. Certification: This is a practitioner's professional standard that has been endorsed by an establishment who is an authority in the field of practice. There generally is a process of assessing the practitioner's competency, knowledge, skills, and/or professional portfolio, and to which a recognized credential is awarded upon successful assessment. For example, the "Certified in Volunteer Administration (CVA)" credential is a certification awarded by the Council for Certification in Volunteer Administration (more details: https://www.vmpc.ca/certification.html). Through certification, the practitioner will earn a designation of which the acronym can follow the person's name. For example:
Certifications, most often come with a requirement for maintaining the designation which is determined either by a validity period, maintenance of credit units through continued engagement in professional development or the combination of the two. Regulated professions often make it mandatory for the practitioners to complete the certification and it is on a voluntary basis for non-regulated professions. However, earning the certification and displaying the designation besides the name is a mark of excellence in the individual's professional practice. Certificate: Even though it is about professional development, the outcome is pure education or learning based. There could be a method of knowledge assessment such as tests, assignments, and capstone projects. This is a one-time accomplishment which recognizes the successful completion of the education/learning program. For example, successfully passing a course that awards a "Certificate in Not-for-Profit and Volunteer Management" by a college or university will award a Certificate of Completion or Certificate of Competence. The time taken to complete the program could vary from a number of days to months. Diploma Vs. DegreeBased on learning outcomes, these two terms highlight an individual's academic excellence in a particular field of study. Diploma: This is an academic program where its intensity lies somewhere between a Certificate program and a Degree. The diploma can be awarded by a community college, university or a commercial educational institute. Most diplomas take more than one year and up to 2 years to complete. An example would be a Diploma in Learning and Development. The curriculum will ideally take a practical and skill-based value. There is a knowledge assessment methodology that determines the achievement of the diploma. Degree: A Degree is a comprehensive and intensive academic program that awards a recognized higher education accomplishment. In Canada, there are four levels of degrees that progress from (1) Associate, (2) Bachelors, (3) Masters, to (4) a Doctorate. A degree is awarded by a community college or university. The academic period can range from 2 to 4 years and maybe, even more, depending on the field of study. An example would be the Master of Education in Adult Education (MEAE) Degree. The curriculum is more focused on building the deep and philosophical knowledge of the field of study. There is a knowledge assessment methodology that determines the achievement of the Degree which generally ends with either a research-based dissertation, thesis or a capstone project depending on the level of degree. Just as it is with a Certification, Degrees too award an acronym that can be placed beside an individual's name. For example:
Here are three professional development organizations related to Volunteer Management for you to explore;

Charter of VolunteerismWe believe volunteerism is the lifeblood of a community. Our mission is to promote meaningful volunteerism and foster best practices through learning and development. Numerous community service organizations in Peel rely on volunteers to deliver critical services to vulnerable populations, to protect our environment, and to make better, functional, friendlier and more just communities. However, volunteerism in Peel falls below the national average and with our booming and aging population, we are on the verge of a volunteer crisis. Peel’s senior population is on pace to reach 340,000 by 2031, and with it, the demand on the non-profit sector will increase substantially. We must build a culture of volunteerism to keep up with the rising needs. The Intent The aim of the Charter is to set some ideals to aspire to, but maintaining a level of realism and tangibility. This means that rather than describing volunteerism and the voluntary sector plainly as we see it now (descriptivism), we have built our vision of a “caring community united by volunteerism” into the essence of the Charter. It gives us as a volunteer centre the ability to recommend best practices (prescriptivism), while recognizing that not every individual or organization is going to view it from the same perspective. Therefore, interaction with the Charter will involve choice, personal reflection and analysis. One principle of the Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement is that volunteer involvement is personal, so the Charter’s interactivity celebrates that. Using the Charter People will use the Charter through direct and virtual engagement. Direct Engagement: At community events, people will be able to interact, learn about the Charter and sign it. Organizations that endorse it will receive a small banner version of the Charter. Our team of volunteer Ambassadors attends community events and various hubs to promote volunteerism and will promote the Charter on these occasions. Virtual Engagement: Anyone can endorse the Charter. Using our online learning management system, Vetch, we will educate people about the Charter. As organizations endorse the Charter, we will recognize them with a virtual badge on our volunteer database, so that prospective volunteers will be able to see that the Organization has adopted the Charter when applying for positions. |

Eight Steps to Building a Successful Business case8 Steps to Building a Successful Business caseBy Lauren Allen | www.zazzlemedia.co.uk "No matter what field of business you work in, it’s likely that you’ll have heard of the term, 'a business case'.

As I was carrying out some research to help me with the creation of a case for one of my own clients, while I was able to find useful bits and bobs of information here and there, I struggled to find the fundamental steps of a business case summarised all in one place. Ultimately, what I was searching for was a handy resource that I could refer to each and every time I needed to pull one together. So that’s what I’m here to try and do; whether you need to pitch in new business, bring in a new process, upsell or cross-sell, or even need to keep existing business, I’m going to draw on each and every step that will guide you all the way (Allen, 2016)."
