	Certification Exam / Qualification Testing		Certification exams or tests can be stand alone or part of course or program of study. Certification exam or qualification testing determines if the student has met the knowledge or skill requirements of the course, program or certification process. Some courses require successful completion of an exam or test in order to pass the course and receive documentation of completion or grades. For some technical areas like welding and nondestructive testing, certification is attained after successful completion of an exam along with other certification requirements.
	Program		A program or curriculum defines a set of courses of study to provide an individual knowledge and expertise in a specific engineering or technical field. An engineering or technical program may include lecture courses, laboratory courses, supervised research projects, co-op experiences, and internships. Engineering, science and technology college degree programs can vary in depth of knowledge and length from two years to 6+ years: Two Year (A.S. / A.A.S / A.O.S.) Four Year (B.S. / B.A.) Masters (M.S. / M.A.) - (2 to 3 Years after B.S.) M.B.A. - (2 to 3 Years after B.S.) Ph.D. - (4 to 6 Years after B.S.)
	Course		Course can include a course outline or syllabus, interactive learning modules, presentation materials, and the creation or selection of course textbooks, laboratory manuals, and supporting reference materials.
	Certificate		Certificate or certificate programs provide an individual with credentials authenticating specific knowledge, skills or completed training. The professional certifying organization qualifies the individual and then attests to or verifies their professional certification status. A license or college diploma could be considered a type of certificate.
	Operator / Laboratory (Hands-on)		Supplier provide operator or hands-on training such as welding operator training, chemical process safety training, and electrical technician training.
	Seminar / Webinar		Seminars are talks or lectures, which are usually delivered live at engineering conferences or meetings. Webinars or webcasts are online lectures or talks on a specific subject. Committee meetings are often held at conferences as well to develop standards and discuss engineering or industry organization management or business items.
	Tutorial / Workshop		Tutorials, study guides or guide books provide an individual or groups a method to learn a subject quickly and often independently. Tutorials are typically more interactive and focused on providing practical knowledge are a focused subject or method with limited scope. Tutorials often use specific examples to demonstrate the topic. Live or instructor led tutorials are typically shorter or have fewer sessions than a course.
