Qualifications are formal achievements or status that signal that an individual is capable and eligible for a job, role, position, membership or admission to a school. These can be contrasted with informal achievements, talents and character traits that may also be important to a job or role. Qualifications are typically documented such that they are unambiguous. The following are common examples of a qualification.
Accreditation | Apprenticeships | Associate degrees | Awards | Bachelor's degrees | Certifications related to standards and compliance | Citizenship or residential status | Degrees | Diplomas | Doctorate degrees | Driver's license | First aid certifications | High school diploma | Honors degrees | IT certifications | Industry certifications | Institutional memberships e.g. university students qualify for a internship program | Language proficiency tests i.e. certified test results or passed levels | Master's degrees | Partially completed training and education e.g. Grade 10 completed | Permits | Professional certifications | Professional credentials | Professional degrees | Professional designations | Professional endorsements | Professional licenses | Professional memberships | Professional recognition | Professional training certification | Project management certification | Security clearance | Standardized testing results | Teaching credentials | Trade certifications |
In some cases, the term qualifications is used in an informal sense to include skills, talents and character traits that aren't officially documented.The pursuit of qualifications over talent is known as credentialism whereby individuals and organizations may ignore learning, experiences and accomplishments that don't receive a certificate.
