General:
5. What is certification?
- Certification is the process of proving that an individual is fit for work or occupation. It is often called a certificate or credential.
-
An individual is granted certification only after passing the certification or certification process (including meeting the primary education and work experience specifications of the certification or certification body and then passing the certification exam).
-
It is a formal recognition by a third party that the individual has the key knowledge, skills, and basic level of understanding stipulated in the professional knowledge system, so she is suitable to practice excellence in the industry at a recognized and consistent level.
-
The third-party officially recognize that certification is neither a degree nor a license and usually has a limited life span.
-
Some certification bodies such as USAII® often call themselves certification bodies because they have researched, tested, and implemented strict certification procedures. They will award "certificates" or certificates to individuals who meet the prescribed norms through these processes.
6. Do I still need to obtain USAII® certification to improve my employability as I have already attended a training program in Data Science/ Artificial Intelligence or similar training and the training company has issued me a certificate?
- Yes, you are strongly recommended to do so.
-
There is a difference between the certificate obtained after attending the training course and the certificate obtained after writing and passing the rigorous standardized exam of a certification body that has NOT trained you. Such examinations are considered fair and therefore more reliable.
-
A certificate issued by a well-known training organization or business school globally or nationwide has good employment value because it shows that you have received high-quality training in your area, so you must have gained something.
-
Therefore, employers value a certificate issued to you by an institution or institution that inspects you according to internationally recognized Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning standards.
- However, the certificate issued by an international certification body that is not the training organization itself is of the most significant value to potential employers. The certificate has been awarded after you pass the exam according to international professional standards.
7. I have a university degree like Bachelor’s or Master's. Do I still need a USAII® certificate for work or growth?
Yes. Certification is a direct indicator of your ability to work. On the other hand, a university degree can show your general intelligence and understanding.
- Simply, the certification proves that you can do a particular job well, or because you already have a basic level of ability; while a university degree demonstrates that you know and understand how to do the job well or thrive in the profession, so you will need to receive some special training to be fully prepared for that particular job or area.
- This is why getting a certification with university degree can improve your perceived employability because prospective employers can ensure that you can work steadily. This is why most college students in the world today undertake certification programs in their fields of interest.
8. How USAII® Artificial Intelligence certification different from an IT/ Computer Science/ Software Programming qualification?
Since Artificial Intelligence is a special part of IT/computer science/software programming and it has its own basic rules and dynamic set:
- Artificial Intelligence is directly related to how organizations use Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, big data and data science, which directly affects the organization's current and future continuity and competitiveness, while IT/ Computer Science/ Software Programming covers all aspects of information technology and computing.
-
Therefore, your IT/computer science/software programming professional degree or diploma or certificate is just a pointer to your general understanding of computer science/software programming and the essential tools and techniques used in managing IT/computer science/software programming. However, for certain aspects, essential in IT/computer science/software programming, you do not have any expertise or specific other skills.
-
In short, the Artificial Intelligence certificate proves that you have a good understanding of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning to effectively handle traditional IT/computer science/software programming positions in today's organizations; and your IT/computer science.
