In the Endurance Coalition a certification is a "course" written by a member of EDC, approved of by EDC leadership, which serves to teach skills pertinent to the Arma unit. A vast majority of certifications revolve around going over how to perform a specific role, such as being a medic or pilot.
Purpose
In non-casual operations ran by EDC there is usually a sign-up sheet. A person who does not possess the relevant certification for their desired role is not permitted to sign up for said role. Sign-up sheets as a general rule do not list every slot of a given role. This way, on game day, it is possible for someone even without the appropriate certification to get a chance to play said role. Conversely, if no one signs up for the role, on game day, anyone without a pre-selected role may slot into it on a first-come-first-serve basis, with or without a certification.
Becoming certified
A certification is performed by any member possessing the certification using it's associated skills checklist and asking the member desiring the certification to perform the actions on the list. If the observed member manages to perform all actions on the list, even if the certifying member has to assist, the member qualifies to be certified. The person who performed the certification will then report in a designated location this ocurred, and an individual with access to the EnduraNet database will input the certification, making it official and permanently recorded.
