Answer: "an official statement that an individual is qualified to do a particular job and has specific knowledge and expertise."

Explanation: Certification is a credential from a professional organization that verifies a person's competence in a specialty. It is different from licensure (a regulatory requirement to practice) and from continuing education credits or discount documents.
