A professional certificate and an Attestation of Course Completion, although important in their own ways, are not the same.
The Attestation of Course Completion is issued when a candidate has successfully completed a PECB Training Course. It can be obtained after the candidate completes the respective course evaluation form through their dashboard under the My Courses tab.
The professional certification is issued when a candidate has successfully passed the exam and fulfills all PECB certification requirements of the specific scheme. It can be obtained after the candidate completes the certification application process through his/her dashboard under the My Certifications tab.
