Overview
A short-term professional certification (a few months to about a year) in a specific in-demand skill area -- cloud computing, data science, digital marketing, cybersecurity and similar -- usually pursued alongside or after a degree rather than as a replacement for one.
Unlike a degree, most certifications have no formal entrance exam -- admission is usually open, sometimes with a basic prerequisite (e.g. some programming exposure for a data-science certificate). The real preparation is picking a program with genuine hands-on projects and industry recognition rather than just a certificate of completion.
