Certificate vs. Certification

A certificate is not the same as a certification. APUS offers a wide variety of certificate programs at both the Undergraduate and Graduate levels. Certificate programs are open to all skill levels and are great for tailoring an education path to a specific goal, or even as a study tool for an industry certification.

Certifications are not offered at APUS, and include experience and an education component, and also required passing a credentialed exam.
