professional credentials

Professional credentials are official recognitions that demonstrate a person's expertise and qualifications in a specific field. They include licenses, certifications, and degrees earned through education, training, and examinations. These credentials validate an individual’s skills and knowledge, allowing them to perform certain jobs or services legally and competently. For example, a doctor has medical credentials, and a project manager might have a certification showing their specialized skills. Credentials help clients, employers, and colleagues trust that a professional has met industry standards and is qualified to perform their role effectively.
