Definitions

Certification: To declare that one has the ability to perform the task or duty in a proper manner.

License: To declare that one has the legal permission needed to perform the task or duty.

Using these definitions, being licensed does not mean that one has the "ability" to perform the task properly. For example, just because one has a license to drive a car does not necessarily mean that the person "should" be driving the car. On the otherhand, certification suggests that one is qualified to drive the car.

When looking for a professional wildlife control operator or wildlife damage management professional, make sure that the individual is licensed AND certified.
