Certification

The process by which a learner receives a formal document from an authorised institution stating that a qualification has been attained. Certification follows a positive result of validation.

The certification process follows an established procedure. For some qualifications attained outside the formal general, vocational and higher education systems, validation and certification are performed by various entities (e.g. a driving test is conducted by the voivodship motor vehicles department and the result is certified / a document is issued by the county governor).
