While your focus as a student is naturally on taking a certification exam, remember
that this is just a step towards professional certification. In addition to passing
a certification exam, there are additional requirements (e.g., experience requirements,
continuing education requirements) for professional certification or licensing that
you also must fulfill after graduation.
