Training Organization-Sponsored Certifications
Training organizations are in the business of selling courses. In order to convince a student to take an extra course or two, they’ll offer a multicourse discount and a certification as a reward for attending a series of courses (and passing a relatively simple exam). Students hope that the certification will help them in the job marketplace; to the extent that managers recognize the training company, it does.
