Certification vs. License: What’s the Difference?
Understanding the difference between certification and licensing is crucial for your career path. Certification indicates that you’ve completed training, gained hands-on experience, and passed an exam, qualifying you for roles like a substance abuse counselor. Licensing, on the other hand, is required for private practice and typically involves a master’s degree, supervised clinical work, and ongoing education. Each state has its own requirements, so be sure to check what applies to you.
