Preferred term

certification  

Definition

  • Certification in evaluation is a process leading to a formal statement (document) that specifies what a person knows about evaluation principles, what evaluation skills they possess, and that they are able to conduct evaluations. Generally, certification is based on an individual's having passed a standardized test soon after having completed an educational program in a field or specialty.
